We carry a wide variety of used cars for sale, in so many makes and models. By considering a used model, you can find a vehicle that perfectly matches your needs. Joe Lunghamer Chevrolet is outlining what to look for when you’re buying a used car.
A Solid Service History
Before you even consider a used car, we encourage you to review its vehicle history report. You want to make sure that the previous owner kept up with its recommended maintenance, so you know that you're getting a reliable vehicle. You should also check how the vehicle was used and if it was ever involved in an accident. If so, you want to ensure it was repaired.
No Visible Neglect
Visible neglect is another sign the vehicle wasn’t properly cared for. Do a visual inspection of the vehicle and check for rust, corrosion, mismatched paint, or a fluid leak. You should also check for signs the vehicle is going to need repairs or replacements soon, such as bald tires or a cracked windshield.
A Strong Test Drive
If everything else checks out, it’s imperative to take the vehicle for a test drive. Make sure that you test a variety of scenarios, such as driving on the highway or driving in traffic. You should also watch for warning signs that the vehicle has issues, such as:
- Sluggish performance
- Knocking noises under the hood
- Screeching brakes
- Pulling to one side
- Strange smells
- Warning lights illuminated
