Are you thinking about shopping for used cars in Stuttgart AR? If so, it’s a good idea to do your homework and learn as much as you can about the make and model you want. However, there are some secrets that many people don’t know about, and they can help you get a better deal. Let’s check our four of them now.
Not all cars in South Carolina are the same. This is why you need to check out each car’s history. For example, cars from Myrtle Beach or Charleston may have more rust issues than used cars in Stuttgart AR. Do you know why? Cities on the coast have more salt in the air and salt is corrosive to paint and metal. However, if the car had proper maintenance, you should have no problems.
2. Car City Reports are Sometimes Free
One of the best ways to make sure the car was not totaled, is to have a Car City report in hand. You’ll know if the car was wrecked or in a serious flood. Some people pay for these reports, but when you find the right dealer selling used cars in Stuttgart AR, they check all their cars with Car City before they sell them.
3. Not All Private Sellers are Honest
Most people selling their cars are honest, but not everyone. Be careful with curbstoners. These people sell patched up cars cheaply, and there are some ways you can spot them:
-
Several cars in the classified ads have the same phone number
-
They’re selling the car for a friend or relative.
-
You have to meet them in a parking lot.
4. Don’t Get Too Friendly
When you visit a car lot, you’re there to conduct business, not make friends. If the sales person is a friend, you lose your objectivity and could pay more than you need to.
