At Philpott Pre-Owned Super Center, we want everyone to make an educated decision as it relates to buying a used car. The first thing that you need to do is set your budget as this will help to narrow the scope of your search. It may also be a good idea to apply for financing before going to the dealer.
However, it is acceptable to both apply for a loan from a bank or credit union and a dealership. From there, you can choose the loan terms that work best for you. It is also critical that you take a test drive and have the car inspected before you purchase it.
Ideally, you will drive on a highway as well as on back roads to get a true feel for how the car handles. Finally, be sure that the car that you buy has a clear title.
