When buying a used car, you want to make sure that you’re buying a car that provides you with the best value for your money. Used cars are a great way to get the car of your dreams without spending top dollar for it. The problem comes when you buy a used car that turns out to have severe issues. This is a situation that the Arizona lemon law is supposed to protect buyers from. The lemon law helps used car buyers by providing them with protections if they end up buying a faulty used car, but the laws don’t always provide full protection. If you’re looking to find a great used car, the best thing to do to protect yourself and your wallet is to avoid buying a lemon in the first place. The following tips can help make it less likely that you end up with a lemon.
Get a Vehicle History Report
A vehicle history report is one of the most important things that you need to get when buying a used car. The report will give you information about past issues like accidents, insurance loss records, and title information.
Get a Second Mechanic’s Opinion
Try to get two mechanics to give the car a once-over. The cost involved will be negligible when compared to the costs you’ll be responsible for if the car turns out to be a lemon.
Check for the Buyer’s Guide Window Sticker
If
you’re buying your used car from a dealership, look for the buyer’s
guide window sticker. The FTC requires that this sticker is placed
onto the window of any used car a dealership sells. The sticker
contains information important for buyers like the car’s warranty and
overall condition.
