Winnipeg Used Car Buying Tips

Consumer Reports developed a list of the most reliable used cars, and used cars – models from Toyota and Honda, seemed to dominate the best used car list. In addition to asking the usual questions about mileage, condition and the used car’s history there are some other things prospective Winnipeg used car buyers should know.

I’ve outlined many on usedcarsinwinnipeg.com but in case you need to know more, here are a few new used car buying tips from Consumer Reports for buying a used car in Winnipeg :

 

  • Know how to spot collision damage by looking for things like mismatched panels or doors, hoods and trunks that don’t shut the right way.
  • Beware of flood damage. Signs can include hints of mold and mildew, discolored carpets or occasional electrical problems.
  • Step on the gas of that used car and listen for things like pings while accelerating that can be a hint of an engine that could overheat.
  • Get a vehicle’s history report to look for things like odometer fraud, past accident damage and other potential problems.
  • And have the vehicle inspected by a mechanic you trust.
