4 Tips For Choosing The Right Used Car
Ask yourself the right questions.
Whether you’re buying new or used, the more specific you can be about your needs, the easier it’ll be to find the best car for you. The right questions include:
- How many passengers do you need to carry on a regular basis?
- Do you have a long commute? How much does fuel efficiency matter to you?
- Do you need all-wheel drive? What kinds of road conditions will your car need to handle?
- What features are the most important to you?
- How much cargo space do you need?
- Will you be using children’s car seats?
- Will you be doing any towing?
- How much garage or parking space do you have?

Do some research.
Once you’ve picked out some used models that look promising, do a little research online. Look at reviews written by other people who have driven that model – this is one area where used car shoppers have an advantage over new car shoppers, because you’ll have a lot more information! If there are certain issues that come up often, pay special attention to those areas when you take a test drive.
The test drive.
This is the most important part! Never buy a car without a test drive, no matter how good it looks on paper. Does it feel right? Is the driving position comfortable? Will you actually enjoy driving this car every day? Don’t be afraid to ask questions, or even ask to test drive another car if your first choice doesn’t feel quite right to you. Here at Continental Mitsubishi, we have dozens and dozens of used cars available in all shapes, sizes, makes, and models – no matter what you’re looking for, we’ll help you find it!
