Ask these questions while car shopping in Brookings

n

Is this vehicle covered under warranty? If so, how long? 

n

Get your warranty questions answered so that you know how long you’re covered if something were to go wrong. 

n

Where did the dealership get this vehicle? 

n

Is the vehicle you’re interested in a trade-in? Was it used as a demo vehicle? Did it come from a different dealer? The background of the vehicle may impact its condition. 

n

May I have a CarFax report on the vehicle? 

n

Any honest dealership should be able to provide a complete CarFax history report on the vehicle. If they can’t, you risk driving away in a vehicle that could have problematic history. 

n

Has the vehicle been serviced recently? Will it be serviced before I purchase it?

n

Regularly servicing a vehicle will ensure that it continues to run properly, and allows service advisors to fix potential issues before they become major (and expensive) repairs. 

n

How do the tires and brakes look? When were they changed or replaced?

n

Having proper tires and brakes that work well is essential to staying safe on the road. The salesperson should know when tires were last rotated and if the brakes and tires have been replaced.
