Buying A Used Car FAQ

Our dealership is a great place to start, as we have a vast inventory of used models. For added ease, you can search through our selections right here on our website. The various filters make it convenient to see if a specific model is available.

The filters also lead you to models that carry certain features. A hands-free liftgate, Adaptive Cruise Control, and Bluetooth® compatibility are all great upgrades that can be found on used models like the Buick Envision and GMC Terrain.

Heated front seats and a navigation system are more fun amenities found in our used truck models like the GMC Sierra 1500 or 2500. Short beds, standard beds, crew cabs, and double cabs are all available, so you’ll be able to find the right truck that suits your style.

To know with greater certainty that a used car is for you, run a Vehicle History Report on it. This important document will indicate such things as prior accidents or damage, the current mileage on the odometer, the number of previous owners, and more. If you click on one of our vehicle listings and scroll below the photos, you should see a button that links to the CarFax® vehicle history report.

If you’re okay with the information presented, you can contact us to schedule a test drive. Once you arrive, you can begin inspecting the interior and exterior to see if everything’s up to par. The following are a few areas of important consideration:

• Overall body condition
• Tire condition
• Technology systems
• Electrical functions (interior/exterior lights, radio, A/C, touchscreen, etc.)
• Dashboard warning lights

If those systems and features work well, you can now take the vehicle for a test drive. During this drive, you can test out other functions of the vehicle. These include the engine’s power, the brakes, the suspension system, and more. Make sure there are no strange noises or smells that could indicate service needs. In addition, make sure you have no issue seeing traffic and that there are no serious blind spots that could cause issues on the highway.

If the test drive goes well, you’ll be ready to finance the vehicle and officially make it yours. You’ll start by filling out our finance application, which can actually be done at home prior to your test drive. If you fill it out early, our team can work on payment plan options and have choices prepared when you arrive.

Don’t forget about your trade-in value! This is an important factor in your plan that we can consider. Use our trade-in form to get an estimated appraisal of your current car. Share as much information as you can so that you can get the best value.

With your trade-in value now factored in, you can consider the payment plan options before you. Select the plan and loan term length that works best, and feel free to ask our team any questions along the way.
