Used car buying guide
If you’re looking to buy used cars, follow these steps to ensure you don’t end up with a lemon.
- Before buying a used car near you, consider your budget, needs and requirements. This may be related to safety, security, environment or fuel efficiency.
- Inspect the car in full daylight. There’s a lot of factors to consider, so it’s a good idea to have a second pair of eyes and a checklist to go through.
- Ask questions about the vehicle’s history- what’s the mileage? How many owners has it had previously? What features does it have?
- Only sign the deal off when you are happy with the car and its price. When buying from a dealer, you are generally entitled to a three business days cooling off period.
