When you’re in the market for a used car there are a lot of factors to consider. Though they’re usually more affordable than new cars, it’s best to do some research before making a final decision to buy. Here are three factors to consider as you browse a selection of used cars in Burbank.
The History of a Car
Some cars have been in a few accidents while others have made it through life without a single one. A salesperson selling used cars in Burbank can show you a car’s history report. A car’s history report shows if it has been in any accidents. If it has, the report will show details of the accidents. The service work done on the car makes up another part of its history report. Knowing its history is really helpful when trying to get a full picture of the life of a used car.
The Age of the Tires, Brakes and More
It’s important to find out the age of the major parts of a used car. How old are the tires? If they’re older, that means you’ll have to replace one or more of them fairly soon. This information should factor into your final decision. The age of the brakes, brake pads, rotors, windshield wipers, air filters and more are all worth looking into.
How Does the Car Drive?
It’s always helpful to take a car out on a test drive with the salesperson so you can ask questions. Get the feel of how the car handles. Is it fun to drive? Oftentimes, a test drive can be the final step before making the decision to buy or keep searching.
