  • (#8) Look Up The VIN

    A VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) is a 17-digit identification number assigned to every car. Before purchasing a used vehicle, it is recommended that a potential buyer perform a free VIN search from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

    The VIN provides a lot of information about a car, including model, year, and engine size. Perhaps most importantly, it can let a buyer know if there are any recalls for the vehicle.

  • (#9) Take Your Time

    Purchasing a used car is a big deal. It's important to take your time and do adequate research. Shop around, make sure you're getting the best deal possible. 

    If you have all the facts regarding your potential purchase, it will help when it comes to negotiating as well.

  • (#11) Examine The Car For Leaks

    It is imperative to check under the vehicle to see if there are any leaks. Different colored fluid leaks indicate different problems. For example, if the fluid is red, it usually means the leak is coming from the transmission. If the fluid is black, it's probably motor oil or brake fluid.

    If you smell gas, that's a big red flag. The car could potentially be dangerous to drive.

  • (#14) Always Ask To See The Title

    The title is a legal document that proves ownership of a vehicle. It is absolutely imperative to make sure a seller, whether private or a dealership, has immediate access to the title.

    Do not under any circumstances accept a seller claiming they will mail you the title. In some states, even after a sale takes place, if a buyer does not actively possess the title, the car is not legally theirs.

  • (#1) Thoroughly Inspect The Engine

    Checking the engine is one of the most important aspects of buying a used car - simply because engine repair can get so expensive. Prior to purchase, a used car should be inspected by a qualified mechanic. A potential buyer will not be able to detect every possible engine issue with just a test drive.

    A qualified mechanic will check for several different factors when evaluating an engine. They will look under the hood for engine and coolant leaks, poor maintenance, oil under the cap, and dirty oil; they can check hoses and belts, look for greenish stains on the radiator, and load-test the battery.

  • (#13) Check The Odometer

    The dashboard odometer will let you know exactly how many miles have been put on a particular vehicle. It's important to note that just because a car has low mileage, it does not automatically mean it's in good condition. If a car is 15 years old and only has 50,000 miles, it's still an old car. 

    Unfortunately, there are ways for a seller to roll back an odometer, which is against the law. That's why it's important to get a full history report. If the amount of wear and tear on a vehicle doesn't match the number on the odometer, that should be cause for concern.
