Information Regarding Pre-Owned Auto Sales

By Frances Keith


Information regarding pre-owned auto sales can be procured from friends, relatives, and business associates regarding local bargains. Contact an local customer certification office or state supervisor to find out if any current disputes are on file for a particular dealer. Past disputes can likewise be discovered over the web or through previous customers.

Various dealerships and merchants are drawing in more customers by providing additional financing options, factory inspected used vehicles, and longer lasting warranties. Sometimes these incentives are falsely advertised. Determine a dealerships reputation before inquiring about a possible sale. A merchant's history can be obtained, as well as past customer satisfaction and a list of previous auto sales.

The right to return a vehicle and claim your money back on the purchase is only offered at the dealer's consent. Some merchants offer cash back incentives, as well as a "no questions asked" return policy. Before an automobile is purchased, learn what warranties and return policies are offered, and how long they last. Also inquire about any possible return fees.

Demonstrators are new vehicles that haven't been rented, claimed, or used as a rental, but are determined to be viable for sale. Program autos are relatively new vehicles, with low mileage that have been returned from a fleet rental. Purchasing guides must be posted on all recreational vehicles, including motorcycles. Dealerships that advertise less than six vehicles per year aren't required to post this purchasing guide, but one may be acquired on request.

Information regarding vehicle use, past ownership, and any past or current liens should be provided by the dealer. Also, one should discover if the odometer has ever been reset, or if the vehicle has been damaged during a flood or collision. These conditions may shorten the life-span of a vehicle and cause long term damage to the motor or structure of an automobile.

Examine all documents and contracts carefully before providing a signature. Make sure the automobile is being purchased, and not leased. The monthly payment, as well as the contract term should be calculated to determine the overall price. The mileage on the odometer should also match the number provided in the contract. If a previous vehicle is being traded towards the purchase of a new one, the amount being offered should be discounted from the price of the new vehicle.

Have a trusted mechanic carefully examine the automobile before purchasing it. Concur with the dealer that he or she will pay for the inspection if any critical or severe issues are found. Many dealers may offer to pay for the inspection outright. Make sure the technician examines the vehicle's tires, casing, air sacks, and undercarriage. An overall inspection of the engine should also be done.

Pre-owned auto sales provide a safe and reliable way for customers to purchase a used vehicle. As the price continues to rise for new automobiles, many people are turning to used. Most dealerships are beginning to offer incentives, such as a free inspection or a longer warranty. After the purchase, free oil changes, annual state inspections, tire rotations, and tune-ups may be offered.
