Your Guide to Buying a Used Car

A well-maintained used car will still have a lot of life left in it to offer you. However, you’ll want to make sure that the model you’re buying is worth the amount of money you’re paying for it.

That’s why our experts at Express Auto have created this guide to help you protect your investment and pick the perfect second-hand car for your family. Read on to learn more, and for more information, connect with our team near Grand Rapids and all throughout Western Michigan.

Perform Visual Inspection

The first thing you’ll want to do is perform a thorough visual inspection of your preferred used car. Walk around the given model to figure out how well its previous owner may have kept it. Sagging paint, signs of rust, and scratches and dents can indicate a lack of care. Also, closely inspect the tires for lumps and cracks along the sidewall and check the tread depth.

Though you can replace the old tires with a set of new ones and paint your used car to boost its aesthetic appeal, you’ll want to factor these expenses into your purchase.

Examine the Interior

Next, you’ll want to start poking around inside your used car by opening the trunk and examining the vehicle from front to back. Check out the upholstery for stains or rips, the windows, mirrors, and the roof. You’ll also want to lift mats and look for signs of rust or water damage.

Take a Test Drive

Finally, you’ll want to go on the road to test the brakes, the acceleration, and the handling of the given model to see how it feels overall. You’ll also want to check the air conditioning, dome lights, headlights, and any other minor functions of the used car that can affect your ownership experience.

We hope this guide helps you find the perfect used car for you. If you have more questions, let our experts at Express Auto address them for you. To speak to our team, call us today or visit us throughout Western Michigan.
