CAR-BUYING QUESTIONS

What is the FTC Buyers Guide on a used car?

The Buyers Guide is a window sticker the FTC's Used Car Rule requires dealers to post on used vehicles for sale. It says whether the car is sold as is or with a warranty, what any warranty covers, and lists major problems to watch for. It also recommends getting an independent inspection. The final contract should match what the Buyers Guide says, so take a photo of it. Learn more at consumer.ftc.gov.
