Questions to Ask Before Purchasing a Used Car

Certified used cars can be a smart purchase. They eliminate much of the guesswork since they have been thoroughly inspected before being placed on the lot. They are also in better working order than regular used cars. MileOne has created this site just for you; the informed buyer. Here are some key questions anyone looking to buy a certified used car should ask.

•   The most important initial question to ask yourself before you step out to the dealership is whether or not you can afford the monthly payments on the make and model you are interested in. The good thing is used cars are less expensive than a new vehicle and insurance costs are reduced.

• When choosing the right certified used car, make sure it meets your driving needs. If you drive more than 15,000 miles/year then you will want to choose a vehicle with an excellent driving history and low mileage.

• A critical question is whether or not the vehicle has been involved in an accident or not. Cars that have been in an accident may have problems later on and are worth less.

• Next, hop into the car and test drive it. Ask the salesperson how many airbags there are and whether or not they find the car handles well in the snow and rain.  

•  Once you come back from the test drive, ask the salesperson to show you the trunk. It should fit your needs in terms of your family size or how much you carry around. Also, sit in the back seat and notice how much leg room there is.

• Lastly, request the service records, receipts and title in order to review the vehicle’s history.
