The next time you walk into a used Chrysler dealership, you should know the critical questions to ask. A pre-owned vehicle is a large purchase and investment, so you want to make sure you’re prepared and well-informed. Here are some questions to ask before purchasing a used car.
Questions About Used Cars
A used car differs from a certified pre-owned vehicle, and there will be different questions to be asked. Used cars usually don’t receive a full inspection by the dealership, and a car warranty will not be included, but an extended warranty may be available for purchase. The questions you should ask when looking at a used car include the following:
- Can I see the ownership history?
- Can I take the car on a test drive?
- Can I see the maintenance history?
- Has this car been in an accident?
Questions About Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles
A certified pre-owned vehicle is typically gently used, has a low mileage, and is typically only a few years old. The car also comes with warranty coverage from the original manufacturer. Here are the questions you should ask about a certified pre-owned vehicle:
- Can I see the mechanic’s pre-certification inspection?
- Is the car under a warranty?
- Can I see a vehicle history report?
- Can I return the car if it doesn’t work out?
Financial Questions
Asking the right questions about the condition of a pre-owned vehicle is essential, but knowing what you’re going to be paying for the car is just as important. Here are some key financial questions that you should ask:
- Do you offer in-house financing?
- Will you take my car as a trade-in?
- What is the final price, including taxes and fees?
