Are you searching for a used Mazda car to buy? It may seem overwhelming to find the right vehicle, so our team is here to offer some tips on what to look for when inspecting a used car.
Color Discrepancies
Walk around, examining the car, and look at the quality of the paint. Pay attention to the color and texture in different areas of the vehicle. If the color is noticeably different, there have likely been repairs done.
Aftermarket Replacement Parts
Aftermarket parts are affordable— and often low-quality—replacement parts for cars. If aftermarket parts are used for repairs, there may be a noticeable difference in quality from the original surrounding parts of the vehicle. Make sure that you’re inspecting the car thoroughly. Common part replacements that indicate an accident are the headlights and taillights.
Test Drive
Test-driving a car is a great way to know if it’s a good fit, and it can also give you some valuable information about any possible issues. If the car drifts to the left or the right while you drive, there likely is a misalignment or chassis problem, both of which could indicate a previous accident.
Vehicle History Report
Ask for a vehicle history report to learn about past repairs and damage done to the vehicle. However, not all accidents are not reported, so it’s still crucial for you to inspect the car.
