When buyers visit our Phoenix-area dealership in search of a used vehicle, what questions should they be asking? This is a complicated question, isn’t it? Many novice buyers make the same mistakes when purchasing a used car, and we at Avondale Nissan do our best to keep these mistakes from occurring. Have you ever made any of these common car-buying mistakes?
Common Car-Buying Mistakes
Mistaking a Low Monthly Payment for a Low Bottom Line
The price of many cars will regularly be shown with the monthly payment, and with good reason. After all, this is the information that many buyers desire in real-world terms. However, some dealerships will spread a lower monthly payment over a longer duration of time, which might trick a buyer into purchasing a car for a higher total price.
Not Taking a Thorough Test Drive
Have you ever taken a test drive and remarked on the driving dynamics within seconds of turning the key? Obviously, there’s a great deal of information that can’t be gleaned without driving for twenty minutes or so, such as how it rides on the highway or how it fares in terms of visibility. At Avondale Nissan, we encourage visitors to take all the necessary time to get to know the model that they’re testing.

Buying Options that You Don’t Need
Right on our homepage, you’ll see a large banner reminding buyers of our strict “No Adds” policy. And what does this mean, exactly? It means that we won’t load your car with options that you don’t want, which isn’t something that many of our competitors can claim. We only give you the options and accessories that you specifically request, which allows us to keep our costs low.
Not Getting a Vehicle History Report
At Avondale Nissan, you may have noticed that all of our used models feature a CARFAX Vehicle History Report, which allows buyers to get a more thorough understanding of the vehicle that they’re considering buying. A CARFAX report will feature information regarding all repairs, accidents, and much more, giving buyers a full view of the car before signing on the bottom line, warts and all.
Of course, many of these mistakes are fully understandable, which is why we at Avondale Nissan do our best to provide a fully formed rundown of all of our used models. To view our used inventory, click on the link below!
