Used-Car Test-Drive Checklist

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.

Royal Auto LLC encourages customers to review the available vehicle information and take a proper test drive. Visit our Bayport dealership or explore our inventory at royalautomn.com.

What to Look for When Buying a Used Car in Minneso

Buying a used vehicle can be a smart way to save money, but it is important to review the vehicle carefully.

Begin by selecting a car, truck, SUV, or minivan that fits your budget and everyday needs. Minnesota drivers may also want to consider all-wheel drive or four-wheel drive for winter conditions.

Review the available vehicle-history report and take the vehicle for a complete test drive. Check the engine, transmission, brakes, steering, warning lights, heating, air conditioning, and interior features. You may also have the vehicle inspected by an independent mechanic.

When comparing vehicles, consider the complete cost, including the price, taxes, registration, financing, and optional protection products.
