Before buying a used car, it’s essential you do your homework. Check to see how many miles the previous owner racked up, whether or not they’ve kept up with the car’s suggested maintenance schedule and pay close attention if it’s been in a wreck.
Why Should I be Concerned if the Previously Owned Car I want to Buy was in an Accident?
Maybe you’re wondering what the big deal is. After all, it looks like it’s been fixed, right? While that may be true, the issue is it could have extra damage you’re unaware of. For example, parts may have been knocked around, causing them to become damaged, broken or bent. The previous owner may not have noticed it. Sometimes problems don’t appear right away. They manifest over time. For example, if the crumple zones have already crumpled, it will be hard to put them back exactly as they were when the car left the factory.
