Buying a Used Car: Checklist

Whether you are shopping for a vehicle from a private seller or at a car dealer, one thing you'll want to do is your research. Truth be told, no one wants to buy a lemon, also known as a highly problematic vehicle. Highly problematic used cars are often a result of poor maintenance by the previous owner – yet another reason why doing your research is so important. Here are the key step to buying a quality used vehicle:

Check the Vehicle History Report
A vehicle history report such as a CARFAX™ report can identify red flags that may tell you whether or not buying this particular used car is a good idea. In a vehicle history report, you may find key details such as previous accidents, title status, and even how many previous owners the vehicle has had.

Test Drive the Vehicle
We always recommend that you test drive the vehicle that you are interested in buying. During a test drive, it is important to make sure that absolutely every feature of the vehicle is operational. Test driving a vehicle that has mechanical or electrical issues can be a key indicator that further repairs may be needed. During your test drive, you want to make sure that no warning lights are on, no smoke is coming from the exhaust, and that the vehicle accelerates and decelerates smoothly.

Consider Buying CPO for Added Peace of Mind

Certified pre-owned vehicles, also referred to as “CPO vehicles”, are pre-owned vehicles that are held to a higher standard. Chrysler Dodge Jeep and RAM certified pre-owned vehicles must be less than five model years old and have less than 75,000 miles on their odometers. In addition, each vehicle must pass a rigorous 125 point inspection to ensure that they are of the best quality.

Giving buyers total peace of mind, each certified pre-owned vehicle on our lot is paired with a complimentary CARFAX vehicle history report – something that you'll never get when buying from a private party seller.

Addition to a Three Month/3,000 Mile Warranty, each certified pre-owned vehicle is backed by 24/7 Roadside Assistance.
