Should I Buy A Used Vehicle That’s Been In An Accident?

The automotive industry continues to experience supply chain shortages, forcing vehicle intenders into the used car market. Now more so than ever before, buying a used vehicle requires additional preparation on your end, ensuring you don’t face headaches and hassles later down the road. Consider studying your vehicle's history when making a used car purchase. Some items to know? You should look for past service appointments, the number of past owners as well as indications of previous collisions.Our team of experts at Automall Collision Center hopes to help you when it comes to making an informed decision when buying a used vehicle with an accident history.

What’s underneath the hood?

The sparkle and shine of vehicles waiting to be taken home can distract buyers from what goes on underneath the hood. Save yourself hundreds or even thousands of dollars and don’t get distracted by the beauty of the vehicle on the outside. Lift up the hood and take a look at how beautiful, or not so beautiful, the inside is.

As a buyer, you may not know exactly what you should be looking for, especially if you chose to conduct your purchase outside of a dealership. If this applies to you, we’d recommend completing a pre-purchase inspection. An experienced technician will take a look at all aspects of the vehicle, highlighting areas of concern. Untouched collision damage may be impacting internal structures of the vehicle and or areas of the vehicle's body. The pre-inspection reduces the likelihood that you end up buying a vehicle that gives you trouble down the road.
