What Questions Do I Ask When Buying a Used Car?
You'll want to ask questions regarding the vehicle's condition, maintenance history and warranty. We recommend keeping all the following questions in mind the next time you take a used Ford test-drive:
- Does the car have a clean vehicle history report?
- Are there maintenance records or receipts to verify any prior servicing?
- What safety features and other technologies is the car equipped with?
- Is the vehicle still covered by the factory warranty? If not, is it eligible for an extended warranty?
How Many Miles is Good for a Used Car?
The general rule of thumb is that lower miles are preferable regardless of what vehicle you're considering. That said, don't discount the appeal of well-maintained vehicles with higher mileage. These used cars and trucks are often available for a highly competitive price point, which is why we recommend them to customers who are looking for a reliable used car under $10,000 or $15,000. You can review our used cars with higher mileage as well as our flagship Certified Pre-Owned Ford models when you visit our showroom to see which is right for you.
Which is the Best Used Ford to Buy?
There is not a single answer as to what the best used Ford is -- it all depends on your personal needs, tastes and budget. Some shoppers are looking for a used Ford commercial truck like a Super Duty® or Transit; others want a used F-150, Explorer or Expedition to facilitate their weekend adventures. Fuel-conscious drivers often want to buy a used Escape hybrid or CPO Mustang Mach-E in Alabama, while the gas-powered Mustang remains a highly popular choice among enthusiasts. To learn which model is right for you, stop by today and take a local Ford test-drive.
Should I Buy a Used Car from a Dealership?
Do you want to feel confident in your vehicle purchase? Do you want to return to the dealership for routine Ford oil changes and tire rotations? If so, you'll want to buy a car from a dealership vs. private party. Local sellers and online car-selling websites alike can only sell you a vehicle -- they don't offer much help when it comes to used car financing, maintenance and warranty work or any other after-sales support you may need. When you buy from a local Ford dealer such as ours, however, you'll work with professionals who put your needs first. Contact Harbin Ford Scottsboro to get started.
