Tips for Buying a Pre-Owned Vehicle at Davis CDJR in Yulee, FL

When you're shopping for a used car, it can feel difficult to be sure that you're getting the vehicle that's right for you. You want something that fits into your budget, but how can you be sure that you're getting everything you need out of your next used car? At Davis CDJR, we thoroughly inspect every used vehicle that comes onto our lot so that you can feel confident in the quality but let's take a look at some of the other ways you can know that you're picking the pre-owned vehicle that's right for you.

Consider Used Car Fuel Efficiency

When you're shopping for a car that fits your budget, be sure to consider how much gas you're going to need with your next vehicle. An older car might seem like it works with your monthly budget as far as payments, but if the fuel efficiency is low, you might spend more on gas than you think. The same goes for buying larger used SUVs and trucks. If you stick with a sedan or smaller SUV, you can save big on fuel expenses.

Think About What You're Towing

When you need to bring along heavy loads, you want to be sure that you find a used vehicle that can get the job done. That said, if you're hauling a smaller trailer or a small boat, you might not need as much power as you would for the family camper or construction work. It can save you money upfront with lower prices and down the line with fuel costs to shop for a used truck or SUV that only hauls as much as you need. Be sure to check the towing capacity of whatever vehicles catch your eye.

How Much Seating and Cargo Space Do You Need?

We know that a full-sized family SUV is enticing and that it'll feel nice to have all that space for everyone to spread out. That said, how many people are you driving around on a regular basis? If the answer is five or fewer, it might help you find the right vehicle for your budget if you stick to sedans and mid-size SUVs. With a smaller SUV, you'll still have room for everyone and plenty of cargo space thanks to fold-down seats, but you can pay less and get better gas mileage. However, if you need room for seven or eight, don't hesitate to find the full-size SUV that's right for you.

Check the CarFAX

We take great care of all of our used cars, but if you want to know the full history, it doesn't hurt to check the CarFAX. CarFAX compiles a report of the complete accident and repair history of a used vehicle so that you can know exactly what you're getting. Don't let old problems catch you by surprise, check the CarFAX before you buy.
