A test drive is one of the most important steps when purchasing a used vehicle.
Before driving, inspect the tires, lights, windows, body, and interior. Start the engine and check for warning lights, unusual sounds, smoke, or strong odors.
During the test drive, evaluate the acceleration, transmission, steering, brakes, suspension, and overall comfort. Drive at different speeds when it is safe to do so. Test the heat, air conditioning, windows, locks, camera, audio system, and other important features.
After driving, look underneath the vehicle for visible leaks and ask questions about anything you noticed. You may also arrange an independent mechanical inspection for additional information about the vehicle’s condition.
