- Compare prices to see what the model you are looking for is being priced at. With this in mind, you will be able to make a more informed decision when dealing with dealerships or private sellers.
- Inquire about the history of the vehicle when working with a dealership or reseller. If the vehicle has been in any previous accidents this may be cause for potential issues in the future. You can also ask to see receipts of past repairs on the vehicle to get an idea of how much maintenance on the vehicle costs.
