First I use Consumer Reports, and US NEWS and world report car ratings for what vehicle type I am looking for . They rate the cars .. and one thing I look for is crash safety , as when you drive here , it is not if ... it's when you get in some type of accident . After I am happy with ratings then Super Carros .. , then make a list of 6 or so of them and off .. to look at . Lots of great advise so far posted .. , and yes the CarFax for recently imported vehicles and you can get the correct actual miles .. A couple of years ago , I had a maximum budget of $ 25,000 USD for a used Lexus RX 350 .. Wow some great ones perfect condition , detailed .. to the max in Santiago . But ! the car fax showed 150,000 miles on most of them and they had them turned back to 60,000 , 70,000 etc. After several of these .. where is the " new car dealer " Bought a 2017 new Mazda CX =5 for $32,000 .. ( year old model but new ) . So why pay $ 24,000 for 6 year old used with double the miles ?
