Questions to Ask Before Buying a Used Car

Used cars are a great option if you're looking for a first car for your child or a reliable option to suit your lifestyle. When it comes time to buy a used car, there are a few questions you should be sure to ask. Century Automotive wants to help you be fully prepared and informed when it comes to selecting your next ride. So, we put together this list of the best questions to ask when buying a used model. Drivers in Huntsville, Florence, and Cullman, like you, should read through to learn more and contact us with any questions you may have.

What Does Certified Pre-Owned Mean?

When searching for a used vehicle, you may notice that some cars are called "certified pre-owned." This title means the vehicle had to undergo specific requirements and extensive performance, engine, and condition tests. Essentially, certified pre-owned models are top-of-the-line used cars designed to give you a greater piece of mind. They typically come with special warranties and benefits as well, so contact our dealership if you're interested in learning more about this program.

Can I Take It for a Test Drive?

Tests drives are crucial when selecting your next used car. It's one thing for us to tell you about how much horsepower can be expected, but it's not the same as experiencing it. Make sure to take any car you're considering for a test drive to see how the vehicle performs and if you like certain features, like lumbar-supported front seats and entertainment displays.
