Take the stress out of buying a used car by asking these important questions.
The vehicle history report acts as a background check for the car. It reveals accidents, repairs, and past ownership—crucial information for making an informed decision.
Asking this question helps you understand the seller’s motivation. It could uncover reasons for selling that may indicate hidden issues.
Accident history affects the vehicle’s condition and value. Even minor repairs should be disclosed, so you can decide with all the facts at hand.
The mileage provides an idea of the car’s wear and tear. Along with its age and maintenance history, it helps you assess its overall condition.
Taking the car for a test drive lets you spot mechanical issues or comfort-related concerns. Focus on how the car drives—its handling, braking, and acceleration.
Some used cars come with warranties or service plans that may be transferable. Knowing this can save you money on future repairs.
A pre-purchase inspection by a trusted mechanic can uncover issues that aren't visible to the untrained eye. Most reputable sellers won’t object to this.
Routine maintenance plays a crucial role in prolonging a car's lifespan. Request service records to verify that the car was properly maintained.
Be ready to negotiate on the price. Point out any flaws or issues you've noticed to help secure a better deal.
Dealerships sometimes add fees for documentation, registration, or delivery. Knowing these upfront will help you avoid surprises at closing.
