Avoid expensive mistakes
Learn from a working dealer’s perspective before committing your money to a car.
Before you evaluate a used car
A first look helps you decide what to investigate next. Keep your observations, the seller’s answers, and any unresolved questions together so you can compare potential purchases without relying on memory.
Is a five-minute evaluation a full inspection?
No. Treat it as an initial assessment. It does not replace checking the vehicle’s documents and history, taking a test drive, or arranging an independent mechanical inspection before committing to a purchase.
What should I have ready before viewing a car?
Save the advert, note the asking price and stated mileage, and prepare questions about service records, ownership, and known faults. Bring a way to record your findings and flag anything that needs further verification.
