I Want To Buy A Used Car…But Where Do I Start
Wondering what to look for when shopping for a used vehicle? After all, there’s plenty to love about the price, but you’ll also want to avoid a lemon—no need to panic though, as today, we’ll walk you through our buying a used car checklist to help you find the best value for your money.
Getting Full Value: Tips For Riding With Quality
Before making any big decisions or signing paperwork, you’ll always want to start first by setting a budget and finding rides that fit within your financial plan. To make this step easy, we offer a few online tools to help speed up the process, like a payment calculator to help you judge monthly payments and a Value Your Trade tool to help you account for your current vehicle.
Next, consider if a Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) model is right for you. Some of the benefits of buying a Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, or RAM CPO ride include a 7-Year/100,000-Mile Powertrain Limited Warranty and a CARFAX® Vehicle History Report to help you check for any potential issues and protection if anything unexpected pops up. Plus, each ride must also pass a strict 125-point inspection to further help you avoid buying a deceptive lemon.
Lastly, always schedule a test drive. Even if you’re sure you’re about to invest in your dream car, you can never be too careful, and a test drive helps you ensure everything drives the way you want. Plus, this is your opportunity to test out different options—for example, does the available manual transmission on the Dodge Challenger work for you—and can you handle the power of the SRT® Hellcat trim, or do you need another package for handling on your daily drives? Also, during your drive, listen closely for any strange sounds, and make sure your vehicle works at highway and parking lot speeds to help ensure your cruiser is geared for virtually any commute, adventure, or Sunday ride you’ll take.
