The keys on your computer can help put the keys to a great used car in your hand.

(NAPSI)—You may be able to find a great used car online—if you heed a few hints:

• You can search millions of used cars for sale online if you go to sites like Autotrader.com and Cars.com.

• To narrow your search, consider and compare price, photos of the cars and their descriptions.

• Consider the seller. Is the person or company reputable? Is it a dealer or a private seller? If it’s the latter, has this person been recommended to you by someone you know and trust?

• Before you buy any used car, it’s a good idea to check the vehicle’s history with a Carfax Vehicle History Report. These can help you make better decisions about used cars.
