Used Car Red Flag #1: A Complicated History Because a cars title can be forged, verify it with the appropriate state DMV before you finalize a purchase, especially if the vehicle was recently brought to your state and titled, or if the cars vehicle identification number (VIN) appears to have been tampered with.
7 Signs a Used Car has Been in an Accident Inconsistent Paint or Mismatched Panels. Uneven Gaps Between Body Panels. Signs of Frame Damage or Weld Marks. Headlights or Taillights That Dont Match. Overspray on Trim, Glass, or Under the Hood. Gaps in Service Records or Title Issues. Unusual Tire Wear or Alignment Problems.
A 7 Point Inspection is a thorough examination of a vehicles key components to ensure they are in good working order. This inspection typically includes checking the vehicles tires, brakes, lights, fluids, belts, battery, and windshield wipers.
What to Look for When Buying a Used Car Timing Matters for Inspections and Test Drives. Be sure to schedule a suitable time for a test drive and inspection. Check the Body Condition. Open and close the Doors. Check for Body Panel Gaps. Test the Shock Absorbers. Inspect the Tires. Turn on All of the Lights. Check Under the Hood.
Inspect the windows for chips and cracks, the tires for uneven wear, and the tailpipe for black grease. Get under the vehicle and check the wheel wells and underbody for rust, which could lead to future problems. Make sure the doors are working well and dont show signs of heavy use.
