Does the car run smoothly?

It can mean many things, from spark plugs to the engine’s motor, both possible signs that the end is near. If there are issues with the air intake system, your car may make popping noises or stall out. A frequently stalling vehicle is unpredictable and can be dangerous to the drivers and others.

Are there any warning lights?

Lights that frequently appear on the dashboard such as the check engine light can become extremely problematic and can be a sign that it may be time to ring in 2019 with a used vehicle from the Auto Now lot on 79th & Wornall in Kansas City, Missouri. Particularly important to pay attention to is the oil light and the check engine light. These are designated lights designed by the manufacturer to inform of possible engine trouble. These lights could be a sign of an expensive repair or the end of the vehicle.

Interior and exterior condition

From paint chipping and stains to rust, cosmetic wear and tear can lead to expensive problems to fix down the road, not to mention a devaluation of the vehicle itself. Rust, for example, can be caused and exacerbated by chemicals on the roadway during winter months or salt in the air due to proximity to the ocean. While not anywhere near a body of salt water or salt air, if you have previously bought a used car, its origin of import and previous owners could be telling of its former life. Rust is expensive and a hassle to fix. Sometimes nothing can be done and it may be time to find a new vehicle.

Leaks, noises and other visual clues

Smoke is never a good sign. Neither is fire. Leaks can be less harmful but also a huge red flag. Paying attention to your vehicle while operating it is an important factor in being a car owner. Are there noises when you turn a certain way or brake? When you leave your parking spot, so you continually notice a residue left over in your spot? Paying attention to your vehicle’s life signs are important signals whether it is running smoothly or on its way out. Leaks, for example, could be simple radiator water or something more severe such as a leaking transmission or oil. Noises are also a potential sign of bad things to come.
