The best way to buy a previously owned car
The best way to buy a previously owned car
Posted on October 6, 2022
Shopping for a previously owned car in Burlington used to mean a lot of hassle. Going from lot to lot, haggling with endless salesmen, and often not getting the deal you hoped for.  It was all just part of the process.
Is the old way the best way?
There are some positives to searching for a car this way. For one thing you’re seeing the vehicle in person, so you know exactly what you’re getting from the start. There are also still small independent used car dealers that may not have an online presence. You may be able to find something special at one of these lots, but you’ll be searching a long time.
There will always be someone dead set that this is the best way to buy a car. Nay, the only way to buy a car, especially a used one. We can’t say we’re against walking onto a car lot and buying a car (how could we?), but we do believe in the future.
What about the internet?
The modern method of car buying, like basically everything else, starts online. You can do everything on the internet. You can shop for a good interest rate loan, browse vehicles, read up on the latest models and technology until you know just what it is you’re looking for.
The trick is being able to tell if the car you’re eyeing will be the one that’s delivered to you. Buying a previously owned car involves a lot of trust to begin with and buying from an online source adds another layer. You’re picking out a car and paying for it, sight unseen.  This isn’t like a sweater that you can return to the mall if it doesn’t fit.
Could a combo work?
A solution is a hybrid approach to car buying. Do all that research and window shopping online first. Even start talking to someone at your chosen Burlington dealership from your computer.
Head out to the dealership once the process is underway and take a seat in the car you’ve selected. Confirm that the love you felt for it through the screen is still strong in real life. You can be confident in your decision once you see your future car for yourself.
