I'm test driving a vehicle tomorrow. It's a used toyota corolla that's selling for under bluebook. I did a carfax check and it came up clean, single owner, accurate mileage etc. But I also googled the dealership name and found some really |
Remember that a car can have a clean title history and still have all sorts of problems with it. It could have engine troubles (no one's gonna report a blown head gasket to the insurance company, so it's not gonna show up on a title search), it could have mega rust issues that the dealership hid with a little bondo and a cheap-assed paint job. . .All sorts of things can be wrong with the car that if you don't REALLY know what you're looking for, you'll never find until you've already bought it.
Used car dealerships have a LOT of tricks they can use to make a car appear really nice when in fact it's a rolling junkpile. Be very cautious especially if it's a known bad dealership.
