Top 3 Questions to Ask a Used Vehicle Salesperson

A young couple discusses buying a used vehicle with a dealership salesman.

Buying a used vehicle is a big commitment that needs plenty of time and thought put into it. One of the best things to do to help with your decision-making process, though, is to ask the salesperson themselves, as they have the most up-to-date information on the used vehicles you’re looking at, and can direct you to the vehicle that’s the best fit. Read on as our team at Whiteoak Ford looks at the top 3 questions to ask a used vehicle salesperson, such as our team in Mississauga, where you can buy both new and used vehicles: to see the inspection report, what the out-the-door price is, and if you can take it for a test drive!

1. Can I See the Inspection Report?

Most dealerships perform safety and mechanical inspections before selling a used vehicle. As such, ask to see the report from their inspection, as this will let you know what parts were repaired, replaced, or flagged as needing attention in the near future. At Whiteoak Ford, all vehicles undergo a thorough inspection before entering our used vehicle inventory, and we’re happy to hand over the report and answer any questions you may have about it. You can also talk to the trained technicians in our Service Department who perform the inspections for a more thorough explanation. This transparency helps you avoid hidden repair costs down the road, and lets you plan your next regular maintenance appointment accordingly.

2. What Is the “Out-the-Door” Price?

The “out-the-door” price factors in additional fees, such as taxes, registration fees, and more, so you can see whether or not the used vehicle you’re currently interested in fits in your budget. At Whiteoak Ford, we provide a detailed breakdown of all of the fees associated with financing or leasing a used vehicle from our inventory, and our Financing Department can go over it in more depth with you as well.

3. Can I Take the Vehicle for a Test Drive?

Taking any vehicle for a test drive is always a wise idea, as this lets you find out many things quickly, such as if you like the visibility and feel of the unique vehicle, as well as if the vehicle fits your driving style. On our dedicated test drive booking page, you can find an extensive test drive checklist covering what to look for during your test drive.
