Inspection

Car owners are typically required to go through a state inspection and sometimes an emissions test each year to keep their car on the road. Similarly, some but not all dealerships go over their inventory before selling them. Beyond simply seeing if the car is running, it’s for safety. The safety of the driver and passengers, but inspections are also conducted for the safety of others on the roads. At Auto Now, all our vehicles in our inventory go through a rigorous inspection process before they see the car lot and potential buyers. We use a mechanic who is independent and thoroughly checks over each car we purchase or acquire to sell on our lots. What that means is running through a comprehensive checklist to be sure you’re getting a car that runs and won’t break down right off the lot.

Check the vehicle history

As a potential car buyer, you should never solely rely on the word of another, whether that’s a dealership or a well-intentioned friend. Doing your own research and investigation is key to making the best decision and coming away with a vehicle you love and are confident to drive. Doing research into buying a vehicle can include everything from online reviews, Kelly Blue Book values, comparisons with multiple similar models, and so on. But once you’ve settle on your car of choice, that specific car you just can’t stop thinking about, one of the final steps in the car-buying process is to check the Carfax vehicle history report and matching VIN number. This is a great way to ensure the car you’re buying doesn’t have any surprise problems. These vehicle history reports are summaries of the life of a vehicle including services, accidents, owners or any other issues since the time of it being manufactured. It’s a documentation of the life of a vehicle, for nearly every vehicle. It’s often so detailed it will share the port-of-entry if imported from outside the United States.

Bad credit, no credit, or an issue with your credit history does not mean you can’t get financing. It also doesn’t mean you should take what you can get and settle for anything less. While your options may be limited through traditional financial institutions and other dealerships, Auto Now in Topeka prides itself on helping everyday people rebuild their credit through purchasing a car that they enjoy and afford. Having options on the table and knowing what your options are when approaching a dealership or entering the car buying experience should be empowering. Whether it’s a warranty for peace of mind, having a seasoned professional mechanic closely inspect a vehicle, or researching your way to the best car in our inventory, car buying should be about the buyer and the buyer should be confident to not settle, even if their credit is not the best. As a car buyer, it is your time, your investment and your future.
