WHAT SHOULD I LOOK FOR WHEN BUYING A USED CAR? FIVE TIPS FROM PETE MOORE CHEVROLET

Buying a used vehicle is a great way for drivers throughout Panama City, FL to save money and get a quality deal. But, it can also lead to a lot of questions. At Pete Moore Chevrolet in Pensacola, we want to help all of our customers understand what they’re getting with a pre-owned model, and we strive to provide as many answers to your questions as possible.

With so many great vehicles to choose from, how do you know when a used model is a good deal, and not something that will give more grief than joy? Here are five tips we like to share with our Crestview, FL customers:

1. Close visual examination – including the interior and exterior. Check for rust, and signs of water damage, as if the vehicle had been in a flood. Lift all floor mats to check for water damage.

2. Expert inspection – get a mechanic to look at your favorite potential vehicle to look for leaking fluids and other possible issues.

3. Take it for a test drive – get a feel for how the vehicle works and runs to get more information about how it will work for you in the long run.

4. Research the vehicle’s ownership history – check for past accidents, floods, fires, or anything that would make you question the integrity of the body or engine.

5. Take your time – don’t jump into anything without carefully considering it from all angles, to help avoid buyer’s remorse.
