3 Questions to Ask the Dealer When Shopping for a Used Volkswagen Car

Shopping for a used Volkswagen vehicle can certainly be an exciting time. However, it can also be overwhelming if you’re uncertain which vehicle is right for you. North Penn Volkswagen is sharing three questions to ask one of our Volkswagen dealers to help out your shopping process.

Can I See the Vehicle History Report?

Used vehicles can come with a checkered past, so it’s so important to know that you’re getting a good one. We recommend asking if you can review the vehicle history report. The report shares info about your vehicle’s past including:

• Accident data – damage severity, records of damage repair, and structural damage
• Service history
• Open recalls
• Type of use – commercial, personal, rental, or leased
• Ownership history

Can I Take a Test Drive?

You should never buy a vehicle without test driving it first, and this goes double for used models. It’s crucial to experience the vehicle on the road. You want to watch for performance issues, listen for unusual sounds, and see how it accelerates and brakes. You also want to make sure that you can comfortably drive and park the vehicle.

Which Features Does it Have?

During the test drive, you should also check out all the various features in the vehicle. Models evolve and change so quickly, so you want to review the features included in the specific vehicle you’re eyeing to make sure it has the technology and safety features you want. If not, you may want to consider another year or trim level.
