 Used Car Buying: How To Spot A Lemon
Posted by carsandtrucks on Monday, October 15 @ 15:34:40 PDT
If you are shopping online look at the photo of the
vehicle. If it is July and the photo background has snow in it you know that car has been
sitting on the lot for a long time. This is a car to stay away from. When looking at a
vehicle on a used car lot ask for the prior owners name. Contact that person and ask why
they traded the vehicle. Ask the selling dealer if they have any service history for the
vehicle, and what type of work was performed to make the vehicle ready for retail. The
newer the vehicle the more concerned I am about the potential of a lemon. I always wonder
why someone traded a late model low mileage vehicle. Whatever made them dissatisfied with
the vehicle is likely to make you dissatisfied. Stay
away from reaquired vehicles. These
are vehicles that the manufactuerer repurchased from a disgruntled customer. These cars
end up going to auction and get recycled to a dealership. Always, have a used car
inspected by a trusted mechanic.
