Today will be my first time walking into a used car dealership. Any advice?
Anything I should know? Any questions I should ask? Any tactics to get a good deal? What should I look for when I open the hood? Any particular car make I should look into?
I live alone in the city and don't know anyone with car buying experience so all useful information is appreciated. Thank you.
ps: I'm looking to buy a mid size vehicle (SUV, truck) as I will need to carry equipment for work (photography ie: backgrounds, lighting, light stands...) and that also won't eat up my wallet in gas. Thanks again.
First off, ask for the free carfax report....if the dealer is hesitant to give it, it probably means there's something majorly wrong with the car. Also, ask if you can take the car to a mechanic of YOUR choosing to have it inspected. (especially if you don't know what to look for). Look for signs of a repaint (i.e. engine compartment or door jambs are a different color, overspray). Don't believe the "little old lady story" (this car was owned by a little old lady and she only drove it to church and the doctors) cuz its a load of bs. Also, when they've give you what you think is their best possible offer, tell them that you want to think about it, and get up to leave.......then watch the price drop some more. Don't go until towards the end of the month when everyone there is scrambling to make their quotas...thats when the best deals are had. As far as choice of car, depending on your budget, i would look at a Honda Pilot or CRV or a Toyota Highlander, both are economical suvs with ample storage and seating. Good luck in your search.
