Buying a new or used vehicle can be an exciting experience, but it's easy to get caught up in sales pitches and make a costly mistake. To avoid falling prey to these tactics, do your research before making a purchase.
Don't just take the dealer's word for it! Look up the vehicle's history on websites like Carfax or AutoCheck to get an idea of its maintenance records, any accidents, and previous sales. This will help you determine if the vehicle is worth the purchase price.
A used vehicle may look great on paper, but it could be hiding some major issues. Inspect the vehicle's interior and exterior for any signs of wear or damage. Look for any cracks in the windshield, dents in the body, or stains on the carpets.
Check out reviews from other customers to get a sense of what to expect when you drive off the lot. Look for reviews from multiple sources, such as Edmunds or Kelley Blue Book, to get a well-rounded view of the vehicle's pros and cons.
Salespeople are trained to make you feel like you're getting an amazing deal. But if something feels too good to be true, it probably is! Be wary of any salesperson who tries to rush you into a purchase or makes you feel pressured.
