Top Questions to Ask When Buying a Pre-Owned Vehicle

-
Are you shopping for a pre-owned vehicle at the Lake of the Ozarks? We're here to help! Buying a vehicle is a major decision and we know it's not something that should be taken lightly. We also know there are a few questions you should ask before buying a pre-owned vehicle. Our car dealership at the Lake of the Ozarks is here for all of your pre-owned auto needs!


What's the vehicle condition?

The condition of the interior is important since many people spend a lot of time in their car. While minor stains on the seats may not be a deal breaker, there are a few things that could be. Pet hair and cigarette smell can be extremely difficult to remove, so whether you're allergic or simply don't like the smell, make sure to ask about the condition of the interior. It's a good idea to ask for pictures (or check it out in person!) or inquire about the previous owner, too. (Pet owner, smoker?). Don't forget to inquire about the exterior condition too! Make sure to ask about any dents, dings, and scratches in the paint of the vehicle. Some of these may buff out but it's best to ask up front!

What's the warranty coverage?

Knowing what is still covered on a used vehicle warranty is important, as repairing and maintaining your vehicle will become a huge part in making sure it stays in tip-top shape. As warranties differ from car to car, you will want to know as much information about the warranty as possible; such as what is and what is not covered and any exclusions that may apply.

Do you take trade-ins?

Ask the dealership if they take trade-ins, as this will help make it easier for you to get rid of your current car. Trying to sell a car on your own can take a lot of time and effort. If the dealership you are working with allows trade-ins, it will take one more thing off your plate during the buying and selling processes.

Does it have a clean title?

A clean title can make the purchase of a vehicle go more smoothly. If there is no title or a salvage title, it could make it more difficult to purchase due to the extra steps you'll need to take. Knowing up front the status of the title can help you have a clear picture of how the transaction will go and what steps you will have to take next, or if you might want to move on to a different vehicle.


What are my financing options?

Each vehicle is different when it comes to financing, so make sure to ask this question for each vehicle you are interested in. Knowing the financing options ahead of time can make a difference on what vehicle is perfect for you and your family. At Hulett Chevrolet Buick GMC, we make it easy to figure out your financing options before you even step into our showroom. You can either call us at 573-317-4191 or visit our financing page on www.ShopHulett.com to learn about what your options are on your next vehicle.

Are there more options?

Don't see the car you love? Instead of just moving on to the next dealership, ask if there are more options or if they have a specific vehicle. If you don't find the vehicle you are looking for at our Camdenton Hulett Chevrolet Buick GMC dealership, just let us know. We can locate what you're looking for, and in most instances, have it for you in less than 48 hours.

5 Reasons Your Check Engine Light Is On

-

It may be a little nerve wracking when your check engine light comes on. Nobody likes to see that their car is deteriorating. Usually, there is no warning or explanation for why the check engine light comes on. When you see this light come on, it means there is a trip to the best auto service department at the Lake of the Ozarks . There are many reasons why a vehicle's check engine light can come on, however, these are the five most common reasons. 1. Gas Cap Is Loose, Damaged or Missing You wouldn't think a gas cap would be that important, but it is. When a gas cap becomes loose or is broken, it can leak out fuel vapors, which can throw the whole fuel system off. If your check engine light comes on, but your car isn't feeling jerky or strange, the first thing you should check is the gas cap. 2. Catalytic Converter Needs Replacing Catalytic converters are another common item that drivers face. The catalytic converter works to reduce exhaust gasses. This is primar
