The Used Car Buyer’s Checklist
-
Set Your Budget—Before you start shopping, determine how much you’re willing to spend. Consider not just the purchase price, but also ongoing costs like insurance, maintenance, and fuel efficiency.
-
Research Vehicle History—A vehicle’s past can tell you a lot about its future reliability. Obtain a CARFAX™ Vehicle History Report or similar report to check for accidents, service history, and title status.
-
Inspect the Exterior & Interior—bExterior: Look for dents, scratches, rust, or mismatched paint, which could indicate past repairs. Interior: Check the seats, dashboard, and electronics to ensure they’re in good condition and functional.
-
Check Under the Hood—Pop the hood and inspect the engine components. Look for signs of leaks, corrosion, or worn belts and hoses. If you’re unsure, bring along a trusted mechanic or schedule a professional inspection.
-
Test-Drive the Vehicle—Take the car for a test-drive and pay attention to how it accelerates, its steering responsiveness, any unusual noises, visibility, and comfort.
