Buying a pre-owned vehicle? Ask the right questions!
Use this checklist before making your decision:
1. Identify Your Primary Needs
• What will the vehicle mainly be used for?
• Do you need sufficient packing space?
• Will you be towing a trailer?
• Do you need an economical town runner?
• What is the fuel consumption in km/L?
• What are the rim and tyre sizes?
• What will replacement tyres cost?
2. Check the Vehicle’s History
• Does it have a complete service history with an accredited dealer or workshop?
• How many previous owners has the vehicle had?
• Can the dealer provide proof that the vehicle is accident-free?
• Is a valid roadworthy certificate included in the transaction?
3. Confirm the Warranty and Servicing
• Does the vehicle still have a valid warranty?
• Is there an active service plan?
• What will minor and major services cost once the service plan expires?
• Does the dealership offer after-sales care and servicing?
• Where is the dealership’s service department located?
