WANNA BUY A USED CAR AND DON'T KNOW TOO MUCH ABOUT CARS?


This is an advise that will last forever.

I wanna help you. I am not the man who knows the most about cars either, and that is why I think I can help you. This is happening to us and we are the only ones who know how it feels. You read several websites, find different opinions and you never know which one is better. It happened to me also...

When this happens to me, not only about cars but about anything. I take it easy... and do an analogy, an analogy about something I know... in this case: Computers.

Can we compare a computer with a car? I think we can!

You can compare a computer made ten years ago with another one made in 2006, and you'll see the 2006 computer is a way much better. How old is the car you want?

Maybe a HP laptop is better than a Lenovo, what do you think? We can compare the quality of car brands. Right? Think about that.

Now, let's think about this: a systems engineer buys a Lenovo laptop in 2001, he starts to use it for work. He is very careful because his business is growing up from that computer. He runs an antivirus system whenever is needed and cleans the case, keyboard and monitor every week. He even changed the monitor for another one that is better.

Give a HP laptop made in 2006 to a 11 years old boy, he starts to surf on the Internet and is not careful about viruses, then, the computer is damaged because he never cleans it. Then, his mother wants to sell it. What do you think?

I would buy one of those computers. I would check what problems has any of them, but I think in the end they both would work correctly.

So, this is my advise. Take it easy. You can make a good choice.
