Are you shopping for a car? If you are, you probably want to buy something used. It’s the best way to get a great deal on a car that will still last you a long time. Of course, there is some risk when you purchase used, even if it is from a Chevrolet dealer in Romeoville. The primary risk is that you will be misled and purchase something that doesn’t live up to what you paid for. If you want to avoid a lemon, avoid cars with the following signs.
1. No Repair Records – If a car is brand-new, it may not have had maintenance, but there is no way that an older car should have never been into a Chevrolet dealer in Romeoville for at least minor maintenance. If you are looking at a car and there is no maintenance record, don’t buy it under any circumstances. Any dealer should be able to provide this.
2. Oil – When you take it to your mechanic to have it inspected, have them check the oil. They can tell a lot about the condition of the engine by the color and viscosity of the oil. This can also be done with the transmission fluid.
3. Neglect – Look for signs of neglect like stains, burn marks, or other little blemishes. If someone doesn’t take care of the part of the car you can see, how well do you think they take care of the part you can’t see?
