What to Look for When Shopping for a Used Car

Finding the right pre-owned vehicle means checking more than just the price and the paint color. To make sure you get a car that lasts, we always recommend that you keep a few key steps in mind during your test drive and research:

• Check the maintenance history: We provide free vehicle history reports on our inventory so you can see how well the previous owner cared for the car, check for routine oil changes, and verify the accident history.
• Look at the tires and brakes: Check the tire tread for uneven wear, which can point to alignment issues. Make sure the brakes feel crisp, quiet, and responsive during your test drive.
• Test the technology: Take a few minutes to play with the infotainment screen, check the backup camera clarity, try the air conditioning and heat, and make sure safety features like blind-spot alerts work properly.
• Look under the hood: Take a quick glance at the engine bay to look for any obvious fluid leaks, worn-out hoses, or battery corrosion. Clean fluids are a great sign of a well-maintained vehicle.
