Colleen Jones+FollowDon’t Buy a Lemon! Used Car ChecklistThinking about snagging a used car? Before you get swept up by a shiny deal, check these 6 things: 1) Get a vehicle history report (accidents, title issues, the works). 2) Inspect the exterior & interior for damage or weird wear. 3) Pop the hood—look for leaks, corrosion, or sketchy repairs. 4) Test drive it everywhere (listen for odd noises!). 5) Have a mechanic give it a once-over (worth every penny). 6) Double-check the title & VIN to avoid scams. Trust me, this list can save you from major headaches! #UsedCarTips #CarBuying #CarHacks #Cars20Share
EnchantingEcho+FollowStressed About Buying a Used Car? I Was Too!Buying a used car used to stress me out 😅 But I finally cracked the code! Here’s how I make sure I don’t get stuck with a lemon 🙈 • I ALWAYS ask for a fresh car history report—no old paperwork! • I dig into the maintenance records (oil changes, receipts, the works) • I ask straight up about accidents or any issues—no shame! • I never skip a test drive (and I listen for weird noises!) • I insist on a mechanic’s inspection—if they say no, I walk away • I check the interior for smells, stains, and working AC/locks • I ask about warranties, return policies, and what’s included • I research the car’s value and negotiate with confidence It took me a while (and a few mistakes) to get this right, but now I actually enjoy the process ❤️ Don’t let pushy sellers or hidden problems ruin your next ride. Ask the tough questions and trust your gut! #CarBuying #UsedCarTips #SmartShopping #Education20Share
