Making the decision to choose to buy used cars in Seattle over brand new models is a great choice for many reasons. First, you save on the cost and secondly you don’t end up paying all that depreciation. Third, and perhaps the most important for many people, is that you can get the car of your dreams and still not break your vehicle budget.
The key to getting used cars in Seattle that are top quality, fairly priced and in good condition is to buy from a reputable seller. In the city, as well as in surrounding areas, buyers really have three choices, private sales, dealerships and car lots.
Private Sales of Used Cars in Seattle
Buying a vehicle from a private seller is the riskiest option possible. In essence you must trust everything that that seller is reporting to you about their used Cars for Sale in Seattle WA, which may or may not be accurate.
If you are going to buy from a private seller ensure that you can have the vehicle checked out by a mechanic that you trust and also make sure you check the Carfax and the VIN number for any problems in getting title to the vehicle. Watch for deals that seem too good to be true or for a seller that is unwilling to allow you to have the vehicle looked at.
Dealerships for Second Hand Cars in Seattle
A dealership will usually provide a limited warranty or service agreement for an addiction cost to the price. However, with a dealership purchase you are paying for the overhead of the dealership with every vehicle.
Instead of going with a dealership, which may limit your vehicle options, you may want to consider an independent car lot.
The Car Lot
At a car lot you get experienced sales people that are not affiliated with one vehicle manufacturer and have experience with all makes and models. You also get very competitively priced vehicles that vary from older models to new model vehicles with extremely low mileage.
Shopping around for the right car lot means stopping first a Rich’s Car Corner. With an outstanding inventory and a proven record in customer satisfaction this is a great car lot to do business with.
