Ford of Columbia near the Franklin area is here to share the 5 aspects related to used car sales that you should be aware of before making a purchase:
In the event that you have any questions related to the points below, don't hesitate to contact us. We're here to help.
The first step you'll want to take is researching if the seller of the car, whether an individual or a dealership, has acquired their product legally. Cars and car parts get stolen every day. You can check if the car has been reported missing or if parts of it have been stolen here.
Secondly, you'll need to view any potential accident reports, performed maintenance, lien information, and exact mileage. You can do this with us or you can ask us for the best online resource for this.
While we will automatically provide you with verified VIN and vehicle information, there are some vehicles that may not be in our inventory. This often happens with collector or vintage vehicles. While we don't recommend going through a private seller, we acknowledge that some car aficionados may offer you products that we can't.
Inspect used vehicles for the following before settling on a price:
If you notice any of these things, negotiate and lower the price.
Depending on the make and model of the vehicle, insurance rates will raise or lower. Shop around, take your time, and ask for our advice!
