When a dealership or owner is trying to sell their car, it is not uncommon to oversell by exaggerating and sugar coating facts. Asking the right questions will help you understand the car and its dealer. The following are some important questions you need to ask the seller.
- Why is the car being sold? You may be able to gauge the vehicle’s condition from this question. There should be a valid explanation from the seller’s side instead of a well-crafted story. If they evade the question, you can look for another car elsewhere.
- Can I have a look at the maintenance history? A seller can spin the yarn and sell you a story on why it is being sold but the paperwork is hard to spin. Even though you will not get details of every bump and scratch, you can request service records to ensure the car has been maintained properly.
- Can I take the car for a test drive? A test drive is important to check if every component of the car is up to the mark. You get to know the condition of the engine, transmission, interior, and wheels only if you take it for a test drive.
- Can I show it to my mechanic? Your mechanic is an auto expert you can trust. They will be able to tell you if anything is wrong with the vehicle by scrutinizing it thoroughly. In case the seller answers in the negative, walk away.
Ask questions until you are convinced the car is worth the buy. If you are convinced about the merits of buying a used car, ensure you do not end up with a lemon by asking the right questions.
