Research the Market
Before making any purchase, thoroughly research the car market.
Use websites like Kelley Blue Book, Edmunds, or Autotrader to compare prices, features, and conditions of similar vehicles. motorzeen
Understanding the market value of the car you’re interested in will help you negotiate effectively and avoid overpaying.
Avoid Sellers Who Refuse to Provide Vehicle History
One of the first things you should do is request the vehicle history report. Services like Carfax or AutoCheck provide a detailed report that includes:
- Previous ownership
- Accident history
- Maintenance records
- Title status (e.g., clean, salvage, rebuilt)
If the seller refuses to provide or share this information, consider it a red flag and walk away.
