As with every contract, read the fine print if there is any. If not, read carefully every inch of text. Contracts can be deceiving. Be sure you know what you’re signing.
Do not sign a contract with anyone until you are sure the car is perfect for you.
Don’t leave a deposit unless you are certain that the care is in top notch shape. If you change your mind, you will probably lose your deposit.
Be sure all repairs and changes are included in the contract.
Check laws in your area to be sure the contract adheres to them.
Check lemon laws, refunds and guarantees that are mandated by law on used vehicles in your province or state.
Take your time making a commitment. Don’t let anyone pressure you into a sale. If a salesman or private owner says they have someone else looking at the car, don’t rush into buying it. This can be a scam to get you to buy the car on the spot. Remember, there are thousands of used vehicles on today’s market.
Test drive at least five used cars before making your decision. Impulse buying can get you into trouble.
If you follow the tips in this article and take along the checklist, you will find a used car that is perfect for you and your experience will be a positive one. Remember, Buyer Beware!
