USED CAR BUYING WORKSHEET

If you find yourself in the market for a used car, you may want to check these

websites:

Once you find a car you’re considering, here’s some good questions to ask before you

invest your time actually looking at it. If the seller won’t answer these questions or

gives you answers that sound dishonest or inconsistent, chances are, you’re better off

to keep looking.

If you like the car once you’ve seen it, call us to arrange a time for our inspection.

After we inspect it, assuming its good, then you might choose to have the mechanicals

tested to further reduce your risk.

Use this worksheet to help you.

Is there anything worn-out, broken or damaged?
