The process of shopping for a used car can seem a bit overwhelming for many New Braunfels drivers. There is such a diverse array of vehicles to choose from, and you may be worried about making the right choice. You may also be wondering about what to check when buying a used car. The team at Northside Ford has created this guide to the things to check when buying a used car to help you become a more savvy used vehicle shopper.

What to Check When Buying a Used Car: Before Visiting the Dealership

It is a good idea to do a little research before you visit the showroom:

  • Check Your Budget: Setting a budget and sticking to it is a beneficial first step. Our payment calculator can help you determine how much you can comfortably afford each month.
  • Choose Your Year, Make, and Model: Create a list of your 3 top favorite vehicles to look into more in-depth.

What to Check When Buying a Used Car: When You Visit the Dealership

There are also a few things to check when buying a used car when you stop by the dealership:

  • Checking the Vehicle History Report: A vehicle history report will let you know if the vehicle is up-to-date on routine maintenance or if it has been in any accident.
  • Test Drive: Be sure to take the vehicle for a test drive to see how it performs on the roads of San Antonio.
  • Inspection by a Mechanic: Our used vehicles have been inspected before they are listed for sale, but you could also have the vehicle inspected by your own mechanic.
