Take the stress out of buying a used car by asking these important questions.
The vehicle's history report is like its resume. It provides details about previous accidents, repairs, and ownership history. A clean report builds trust, while red flags can save you from costly surprises.
This question is particularly useful for private sellers. Understanding the reason for selling can help you gauge if the car might have 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.
While mileage isn’t everything, it gives insight into how much life the car has left. Combine this with its age and maintenance history to assess its overall health.
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.
Regular maintenance extends a car's life. Ask for service records to ensure it’s been properly cared for.
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.
