How to Find a Good Pre-owned Vehicle on a Tight Budget

There are plenty of models to pick each year. Picking the best pre-owned car isn’t easy if you want a car that’s reliable, reasonable, and equipped with the latest technological and safety features.

Please use the listed price as the most up to date price. This vehicle has a notation on the Carfax that it was reacquired by the manufacturer. Simply put, the customer had a complaint about the vehicle and asked the manufacturer to take the car back. As a result, the trade value or selling price you will get for this vehicle is likely to be lower than for a similar vehicle that was not reacquired. This is reflected in the price you are paying for the vehicle now and why the vehicle is less expensive than a similar one that was not reacquired. In time, the difference in value between this vehicle and a normal vehicle will shrink. Therefore, if you plan to keep the vehicle for an extended period of time you will likely capture more of the savings of the lower price than if you sell or trade the vehicle within a short period after purchasing it.

6 Things to Consider Before Buying a Pre-owned Car

  1. Do your Research Invest some time to decide what you want from a car. Then see which cars fit your description and what their prices are. Before walking into any dealership, take information on cars from different dealerships so that you have a clear idea of what’s available and what you should expect to pay for the same vehicles in your area.
  2. Set your Budget Don’t allow your salesperson to extend your budget just to get the vehicle you want. Setting a budget helps you narrow down your search and negotiate a price you are comfortable with. Remember, a used car budget doesn’t just include funds for the car, but also money for an inspection and any small repairs that may be required along the way.
  3. Financing Whether you plan on taking out a bank loan or financing through the dealership, it’s important to remember your financing options while you do your research. You may be able to get a good rate on an auto loan. Get rate quotes from a few places and talk to each lender about the type of car and price range you want.
  4. Run a Vehicle History Report Make sure to get a vehicle history report and know vital information about the car. If the car you’re looking at has been in an accident or any other worrisome events, the sooner you know the better. AutoCheck and Carfax are the best sources to know the vehicle history reports if you are running a report yourself.
  5. Test Drive Test drive and know if it’s the right car make and model for you. Try to test it in a variety of situations, including on the highway and up and down hills before making the decision.
  6. Get the Car Inspected Even if the seller claims there are no mechanical defects or major issues, you should verify that the car is in good shape with a comprehensive inspection by a trustworthy mechanic. No matter how decent the deal seems, be prepared to compare so you aren’t pressured into buying a vehicle that is not the perfect match for you.
