Buying a used car is a meticulous
process. However, it’s definitely worth the time and effort when
you come back home with a sweet whip without any faults—and yes, it
does happen more often than you think.
Don’t be fooled into thinking that
your search for a used car begins in the dealership lot. In fact,
there are several measures you need to take before you step out of
your home. By doing the following, you minimize your chances of
driving home a “lemon”:
Do Your Homework
Check out your preferred
dealership’s stock of used cars and list down the ones that catch
your eye. Afterwards, check online reviews of each model. In
particular, check the safety rating each model received from the
Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).
Check the Weather Report
Take advantage of the 10-day weather
forecast and schedule your trip to the dealership during a bright and
cheerful day. Don’t underestimate how helpful sunlight is during
your visual inspection. At the same time, test driving (you should
always test drive a car before buying) is easier when the roads
aren’t slippery.
