Buying a Used Car!

Research and Inspection

• Doing Your Homework: Emphasizing the need to research vehicles for reliability ratings (e.g., from Consumer Reports) and checking their current market value (e.g., via Kelley Blue Book).
• The Mechanic Check: Strongly advising listeners to always get a pre-purchase inspection from an independent, trusted mechanic, even if the seller is a dealership.
• Red and Green Flags: Discussing what to look for when inspecting the car yourself and what questions to ask the seller, like checking the car's service history.
• Salvage Titles: Warning about the significant danger and financial risk of buying cars with salvage or reconstructed titles, which often hide thousands of dollars in necessary repairs.
