What to Look For When Buying a Used Car From a Dealer

There are many benefits to buying a used car from a dealer over a private seller. We have a selection of used models priced under $15,000, for instance, along with used vehicle specials to help you save even more.

So, when it comes to buying a used car from a dealer, what should you keep in mind? Consider the following:

• Price: Set a budget, and stick to it. Then, look for used cars that fall below your budget. You can use our payment calculator for assistance.
• Mileage: Decide what good mileage for a used car means to you. Some drivers prefer low-mileage used cars, which typically come with higher price tags, while others don’t mind high-mileage used cars that have been well-maintained.
• Age: Do you want a newer vehicle that has some of the latest technologies, or are you fine with an older model? 
• Quality: Inspect the car’s interior and exterior, and take the car for a test drive.
• Vehicle History: Do your research. Run a used car’s vehicle identification number (VIN) through a service like CARFAX to get a vehicle history report.

What to Ask When Buying a Used Car

As you navigate the used car buying process, it’s important to ask questions. Here are some ideas of what to ask when buying a used car:

• Is there a history of maintenance?
• Is the vehicle history report available?
• What is the ownership history?
• What is the vehicle’s mileage?
• Are there any current recalls on the vehicle?
• How was the vehicle priced?
• Can I take the car to a mechanic for an inspection?
• Do the amenities and features work like they should?
• Do you have the title in hand?
• Is the car as is, or is it under warranty?
• Does this vehicle affect your insurance premiums?
