Keeping this and the following questions in mind before purchasing that first vehicle will make the process much easier for you.

How Reliable/Safe Is the Vehicle?

n

 

n

The first and maybe most important thing to consider when you are looking for a first vehicle is its safety and reliability. There are a few ways you can get this information: 

n

1.) Check if the vehicle comes with a history report of previous accidents, services, and damage. When you shop at Einspahr, we provide these free reports on all of our vehicles.  

n

2.) Head to consumerreports.org to search the safety ratings and reliability scores of any make or model of vehicle, straight from other consumers.

n

3.) Talk to your dealer. The dealership will be able to tell you much more information about the vehicle you’re looking at, including any concerns with damage or safety.

How Will You Use the Vehicle?

n

 

n

Another thing to consider when deciding on first vehicles is how the vehicle will be used. Thinking some of these through can help you narrow down your options to just what you need.

n

Will the vehicle be driven around a university campus or taken on long commutes every day? Consider this when looking at mileage.

n

Does the vehicle need to be larger to fit more people or more cargo, or is a simple sedan all the space that’s needed? Consider this when deciding between certain body styles.

n

If you’re thinking of investing in a more long-term option, perhaps getting a new vehicle is best right now. Working with a lower budget? Not a problem with our deals on used vehicles.

How Does the Vehicle Drive?

n

 

n

The best way to be sure the vehicle drives well on the road and feels right for the driver is to get to the lot and take a test drive for yourself. Easily schedule your test drive online and get the look and feel of the vehicle for yourself.
