No matter the model of vehicle you choose to purchase, before you purchase the vehicle, you want to make sure it is in top condition and worth what you intend on paying for it. You do not want to have to pay a lot of money in repairs and spare parts for a vehicle you just purchased. A Used Audi in Puyallup can be purchased through a private dealership, used car website, or auction. A good place to start to ensure you are getting your money’s worth on your purchase is to review Kelley Blue Book and the NADA used car guide. These references will give you an indication of what you can expect to pay for the vehicle you want based off of its current market value and Audi prices. Checking the vehicle’s VIN will give you insight on the damage history of the vehicle.
If you decide that the Used Audi in Puyallup you selected is the one for you, invest $30 in Carfax report to make sure there are no issues with the title. The report results may say “no in transit” or “to be issued at a later date.” If you see any of these descriptions on the Carfax report, stop the purchasing process immediately and select a different vehicle. Do not pay anything until you know that the title is valid and can confirm that the title has not been tampered with. If you have a certified mechanic, it is a good idea to have them look over the vehicle also. It is well worth paying a professional mechanic to inspect the vehicle for you.
Usually you can have a professional mechanic inspect a vehicle that you are interested in purchasing for $100 or less. They will be able to spot signs of damage or wear and tear that you will not. Missing VIN stickers could be a sign that the vehicle has been wrecked or stolen. If you are purchasing an Audi though a private dealership, do not be afraid to work with the owner directly. This is your purchasing decision and you have the right to validate what you are buying. Let them know about your plans to inspect any vehicle you are interested in before buying it.
