Buying a used car is a great way to enjoy something dependable with a proven driving history, for a low price. Used cars do not suffer as sharp a drop in value as new cars and can provide you with many years of lasting value. However, not every used car retailer is as dependable as our dealership in Toledo, OH, so many of our guests understandably have many questions about our selection. Let us go over some questions you should ask yourself before shopping used.
You will find a great selection of used cars for sale here at Brown Honda, located in Toledo and conveniently less than a 30-mile drive south of Monroe, MI.
Frequently Asked Questions about Used Cars
- Does the car drive smoothly? This is a question that drivers will often have answered with a simple test drive, but some retailers might not give a straight answer. When taking the used car you want for a spin, be sure to ask us about any strange noises, smells, or vibrations you may feel when driving.
- Is the car in good physical condition? When searching for the right used car, appearances do matter! It always helps to give the car you want your own thorough inspection, keeping an eye out for rust, dents, dings, scratches, misaligned suspension, leaks, overspray, or other signs that the car you want might not be in the best shape, or may not have been restored sufficiently.
- Does the vehicle have a clean title? We provide all the latest data on our used cars through CARFAX® History Reports, which you can browse from your home in Bowling Green, OH. If you'd like more information, you can look up the 17-digit vehicle identification number (VIN) using a decoder to ensure that the car's actual title and service history matches the one in the report. You can find VIN decoders through several reputable assessment programs, including the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
- Is low mileage better? Shoppers often find themselves drawn to low-mileage cars, since these vehicles have only seen light usage, usually have only had one previous owner, and remain in like-new condition. While like-new Honda models can prove incredibly dependable, used cars from other brands might not. Some like-new used cars might not have been used as frequently, resulting in certain plastic or rubber parts degrading. If you have interest in an off-brand used car, it may behoove you to select one with more odometer miles that has been driven more frequently.
