Used Car Buying Guide

Deciding Your Range

First and foremost, to begin your journey through the world of pre-owned rides, you’ll want to start thinking about what it will look like in the long run. By this, we mean considering your range. When you go to shop used machines, where do you want your budget to be?

The answer to what it actually is will change based on the ride of choice, its year, features, trim, and even more. If you talk to us about it, we’ll help you discover which systems, add-ons, and others appeal to you.

Interest and History of Your Ride

You’ll want to find the ride that you love, naturally, and that might require some research. When you look for a pre-owned set of wheels, think about the features you’re looking for in said machine. Do you prioritize infotainment or performance? Both? Regardless, our team will work with you to find one that suits all your needs. After that, we’ll look at the history of the ride.

When you look at your ideal ride’s past, you’ll get a good idea of what it has on its record. You’ll know if it had any other experiences that could further impact it, what to expect moving forward, and more. Doing a bit of research and keeping up to date on its maintenance will keep this pre-owned machine well-oiled, to say the least.

Test Drive Preparation

At this point, you’ve probably come to a few conclusions in your shopping process. What we mean is, by now, you’ve probably figured out what kind of pre-owned ride you want to drive home, a good overview of its history, what financing will look like, and more. Lastly, it’ll be time to take it out for a cruise.

When you go out for a test drive, the goal is to make sure it’s the set of wheels you’ll really love. That’s why it’s important that you consider how you feel in the driver’s seat. Your comfort and ease is top priority, so think about things like:

• What are some obvious blind spots?
• What are the best available safety features?
• What about infotainment systems?
