Used Car Buying Tips


Here are some tips that will make your Greater Vancouver used car or truck buying process easier and more enjoyable.

1.  Determine your Budget
Decide how much you will be comfortable spending each month including the car payment, insurance, and maintenance.  If you need to finance your purchase you can do so at Coquitlam Chrysler usually within minutes.  Getting preapproved for financing will help you determine what types of vehicles are in your budget.  If you'd like to trade in your vehicle, bring it with you to the dealership for an onsite appraisal.

2.  Decide what Purpose your Vehicle will Serve Most Often
Do you love the outdoors?  An SUV or truck will allow you to enjoy the outdoors.  Do you have several children?  A minivan has enough seats for your kids and their friends.  Do you drive long distances and need good gas mileage?  A crossover or small sedan provides great fuel efficiency.  All of these factors will help you decide which type of vehicle to choose.

3.  Where to Buy
We recommend buying your next used car at a reputable new car dealer.  This way you can rest assured that your new-to-you used car or truck has been inspected for road safety as per the guidelines of the local governing body.  We are lisenced through the Vehicle Sales Authority and adhere to their guidelines.
