Tips for Buying a Pre-Owned Car

Outline Your Budget

When you’re looking at potentially buying a car, it’s important that you know your budget ahead of time. When you have a solid understanding of your budget, you can quickly:

• Find What’s in Your Price Range: You’ll be able to immediately know which models you can afford based on your income. If you’re looking at our online inventory, you can narrow down your choices in seconds.
• Find Something That’s Comfortable: It can be stressful to have a large car note hanging over your head. When you find something that’s in your price range, you should have an easier time managing your bills.
• Find the Right Dealership: At Bell Road Toyota, our used inventory offers a vast array of vehicles, so you should be able to find one that fits your needs when you decide to visit. If you live near Phoenix, Glendale, or Gilbert, we’re only a short drive away.

Research Matters

Before you make up your mind, you should do a bit of research first.

• Get a Vehicle History Report: If you’re looking at one of our certified models, you’ll find that they offer a complimentary vehicle history report. This report will give you a lot of information in regard to what the vehicle has been through. You’ll know what kind of damage it has received in the past, and if there are any other hangups.
• Start Finding Sources: Since these are used cars, there shouldn’t be any shortage of reviews online. You can look at consumer reviews, critic reviews, and breakdowns of what the vehicle actually offers. It’s important that you type in the right model year, as vehicles can change drastically in just a few years.

You won’t want to make your final decision before you actually take it for a spin, as you’ll want a chance to evaluate the handling, power, and more. If the car doesn’t fit your needs, then you might at least gain an idea of what you’re looking for.
