Best way to buy a used car?

Have a car, truck, motorcycle, or bicycle you'd like to sell? List it here for free. Heck, you can even buy and sell tuktuks or your pink Scoopy here. Remember, you need a driver's license in Cambodia for cars, trucks, and any motorbike that's over 125cc. And always wear a helmet!

A little thing to add, I didn't just review the Prius (like a lot of "journalists"), I've owned many of them and have put a huge amount of miles on them over the years (saved me tens of thousands in fuel costs), so I'm very familiar with the car inside and out.

Sad to say, I like the Prius for what it is but it's just not a viable car in Cambodia. It's complicated even for a traditional mechanic like myself to fix. I spent a good deal of time with Prius techs to learn how to do repair my own cars and even then, I sometimes drop off my car to those guys if it needs something.

We don't really understand about technique word. But it's useful to learn about it before we make decision. Thanks

I went to St. 108 over the weekend (as someone suggested) and was a bit overwhelmed.... I'm going to have to do a bit of homework on some of the car makes and models, as I haven't bought a car in several years.

Also, can anyone suggest a reliable mechanic (foreign preferably) I could use for checking out the car I ultimately choose? What is a fair price for such a mechanical evaluation?
