In the market for a used car? Don't come to the dealership blindly. So, to help you out, we've compiled a list of things you should do before you buy.
- Figure out what your budget is. Decide how much you want to spend and whether you're going to finance, lease, or pay cash.
- Decide on the make and model of the car best suited for your needs.
- Make sure the car you pick is a car that won't cost a lot in repairs.
- Check out a history and safety report on the car you're most interested in.
- Walk around the vehicle and take a thorough assessment of what's going on with the exterior of the vehicle.
- Take the car for a test drive and observe things like seat comfort, cabin noise, and how easily you can look out of windows.
- Take it to a mechanic to get an accurate idea of any repairs that may be needed.
- Negotiate to get the best price.
