Buying a used car doesn’t have to be stressful. Whether you're shopping online or browsing in person, asking the right questions can save you time, money, and regrets. Here are five critical questions to ask before making your next move.
1. What’s the vehicle’s service history?
A full service record gives you peace of mind that the car’s been looked after, even better if it's from an authorised dealership for the brand. At easyauto123, all of our Quality Verified™ vehicles come with an authenticated service history where available, plus a 100-point nitpicky inspection.
2. Has it been in any accidents?
Always ask about past damage – even minor crashes can affect resale value and performance. easyauto123 runs a PPSR check that shows if the vehicle is recorded as free from debt. It will also tell you if the car has been recorded as stolen or written off.
3. Are there any warranties or guarantees?
Private sellers usually can’t offer these, but licensed dealers like easyauto123 can. In addition to any outstanding manufacturer warranty, we offer extended warranty options, a Best Car Price Guarantee and a 7-Day Money Back Guarantee, which means you can just give the car back in the condition you bought it – no questions.
4. What’s included in the price?
Clarify whether you're getting extras like rego, roadworthy certificates, or even a full tank of fuel.
5. Can I take it for a proper test drive?
Never skip the test drive – it’s your chance to see how the car feels on real roads. All our vehicles are available for a no-pressure drive experience.
Be prepare to walk away
Buying a used car is a big decision and an expensive one – but it doesn’t have to be risky. Ask smart questions, trust your instincts, and if you don't like the answers you get, then be prepared to walk away. Consider shopping with licensed dealers who back their cars with guarantees.
