Tips on Buying Cars: used car buying advice, rust proofing, history ect

Question
hi,

i'm interested in buying a used car from a major, reputable, new and used car dealership.  more notably, a 05-08 corolla, or any other 4 cyl basic car.  would it be too much to negotiate for $2000 off, free lifetime oil and filter, annual rust proofing, and change of antifreeze, trans fluid, brake fluid, air filter, fuel filter, and cabin filter upon purchase, if there are no service records proving that it has been done or if the car is over 60,000 miles?

can i ask to see service records if the last owner provided them?

how do i really know when the car was traded in because it could have been sitting in the lot for weeks or months?

please send me any and all tips and tricks that you may have!

thanks,

sk

Answer
SK:One of the most important tool is the Carfax report.It states car history from the first time time sold,service history ect.In buying a car should be a very simple process,and to ask for more than buying the car could ruin the process.Keep it simple in the beginning.Also check current market values from Kelly or NADA.Most important is to consider "Certified"used car.It offers better warranty and less costly repairs.
