Between a range of model years, different packages, and each vehicle’s unique history, there’s much to consider when shopping for a pre-owned Lexus vehicle. However, online services make doing research easy, and our team at Fields Lexus of Glenview is always ready to answer questions.
Research Online
Shopping for pre-owned cars used to mean lots of manual research, but the internet makes it easier than ever to find your new car from home. Read reviews on trusted sites like Car and Driver to find out more about your potential next drive. However, make sure you’re getting your information from trustworthy websites and that it applies to this particular used model.
Read the Sticker
Any used cars for sale are required to have a Buyer’s Guide sticker attached — read it carefully. This sticker will tell you if the vehicle is still under warranty or being sold “as is,” meaning it isn’t covered by the manufacturer. The Buyer’s Guide overrides anything you negotiate with the dealer, so if you add any coverage, it has to be added to the sticker to be valid.
Ask the Right Questions
When asking questions of your dealer, focus on learning the story behind the numbers. A high-mileage car may have been mostly used to commute to work and back, whereas a low-mileage car may have been driven aggressively or on bad roads. You should also ask for maintenance records and question any gaps in scheduled service.
