Enquiries Used Car Dealer Should Answertoyou

January 11, 2022

How do you find the best used cars at the best prices? What used car dealerships should you be going to? These are questions that most of us have when we’re looking to buy a used car because let’s be honest, buying new really isn’t necessary in most situations. Being prepared with an arsenal of questions before you step on the lot will ensure that you get the best car at the best price. Here is our suggestions for what you can ask when buying a used car:

  1. Why are you selling this car? The salesperson isn’t supposed to have the power in the buying scenario. So ask the salesperson why the car is for sale. This shouldn’t be a hard question for them to answer either. This is also a good way to open the conversation about the car you’re looking at.
  2. What other fees will I be charged? How much is it going to cost me to drive this off the lot right now? This is a good question because almost every car salesperson will wait to tell you this until you have already signed your name on the line. The sooner you find out about these fees the more likely you’ll be able to possibly avoid them.
  3. Are there any aftermarket parts on the car I should know about? When buying used cars this is a crucial question to ask. You need to know what has been done to the car before you can feel comfortable owning it.
  4. How many previous owners have there been? If the car you are looking at isn’t very old yet has gone through multiple owners, there might be a problem. Find out how many owners the car hs been through to better gauge the quality and current shape of the car.
  5. Finally, Ask for a CarFax report. A CarFax report will give you all of the previous maintenance done on the car and multiple other variables important to buying used. If a dealership isn’t able to give you a CarFax report, go to another dealership.

So with that you should be better positioned to bargain when buying your next used car. Keep in mind that some dealerships are better than others, and you will have to do your research before you step on a lot. With a better idea of what to ask when you are there, the better possibility of finding a great deal.
