USED CAR BUYING TIPS

Uftring Nissan

TIPS FROM TODD DURM

Shopping for a used vehicle can become stressful very quickly. There are a lot of factors to consider, which can make it difficult to even know where to begin. Whether you're buying from a private party or a dealership, there are some basic things to always check.

  • The tread depth on the tires. If a new set of tires is needed, make sure you factor that into the price you are willing to pay.
  • Windshield wipers, belts, and hoses. Make sure to ask if these all meet state requirements.
  • Inspect safety features such as airbags, seat belts, and check for frame damage.
  • Ask the seller if the vehicle has been in any accidents. Ask the seller to see receipts of any repair service. The idea is to purchase a used vehicle that won't require a lot of maintenance right off the bat.
  • Overall, the most important thing to remember is to ask a lot of questions. Try to get as much information as possible about the vehicle you are looking to buy.

When buying a used car, there are many advantages to buying a Peoria Used Nissan or a Peoria Certified Preowned Nissan. For example, it is in our policy to not sell a vehicle with frame damage. We'll replace almost anything on a used Nissan.

We're not here to hide anything; you can trust us to be honest and upfront with you about the vehicle you are interested in. This is one of the most important ideals ingrained in all of us from Gary Uftring, our dealer principal.
