How to Buy a Washington DC Used Car

During a poor economy, more people buy used cars than new cars. As a result, the price of Washington DC used cars has been increasing. A used car is the best value you'll find when buying a car. If you look for a late-model used car with low mileage and a good set of safety and convenience features, you'll get the car at a better price than new cars with similar features, and therefore, at a better value.

Here are some tips for buying a used car from Acura in Washington DC for the best value:

Narrow Your Choices Down to Reliable Makes and Models

Not all cars age as well as others, which means not all makes and models of used cars will be as valuable or safe to drive. When you choose a reliable make and model of used car, you'll spend less time and money in a repair shop.

Consumer Reports lists the 2007 4-door Acura TL Type S Sedan, automatic four wheel drive, 6-cylinder and the 2007 Acura RL Sedan, automatic all wheel drive, 6-cylinder among the most reliable makes and models for used cars.

Make Sure the Used Cars You are Considering Buying are Well Maintained

Ask for car records for maintenance and repairs made to the car. Was the oil changed frequently enough? What type of repairs did the car have, and does it appear that some of the repairs were made over and over again which can signify a problem that wasn't being repaired properly? Check the engine and under the car for any oil and fluid leaks. If you see leaking fluids, move on to a different car.

Have an independent mechanic (someone outside of the dealership) come and check out a used car you're interested in buying, too. We wouldn't have a problem with this at our dealership, but if you are ever looking to buy a used car from a seller who doesn't allow you to bring in a mechanic for a quick inspection consider that a red flag and move on to a different car!
