Looking For A Family Car? Tips To Find A Great Used One

Picking a safe family car can be very expensive if you purchase it new. However, if you purchase it used, you run the risk of not getting a great car. When it is time to get a new family car, there are a few tips to finding the gem that you are looking for. Use these tips to find your next safe, affordable, and loveable family car.

  1. Consider Age and Price. When looking for a used family car, there is a balance to be found when it comes to age and price. The older the car, the less expensive it will be but just because the price tag is great does not mean the car is. Take a look at these things before making the purchase. 
  2. Have an Independent Mechanic Look At The Car. Before you make a purchase on a vehicle, make sure you take it to a local mechanic that you trust. Taking it to an independent mechanic is even better because they are more likely to give you the truth about the car instead of listing a lot of issues (that may not even exist) just to get your business if you buy it. 
  3. Don’t Get Emotional. This is a major purchase and it is best to not let your emotions get in the way of your decision. This can result in you getting the wrong car because you fell in love with the color. Keep your mind clear before the decision and get emotional after you make an educated decision.

When you do get a great new family car, contact us at Oliver Insurance serving Canby, OR, to find you a great insurance policy to protect the family vehicle and your family.
