“This car runs great!” (Used Cars)

“This car runs well,” and/or “We inspected it.” Used cars and trade-ins come and go very quickly at dealerships. If a sales associate tells you that a certain car runs great and that its been inspected, chances are that’s not the entire truth. Unless the dealer took the car out for a test drive, they probably have no idea what condition that, or any other, cars on the lot are in. This line is something that salesman are taught to say to make the buyer feel better about their potential purchase. In regards to inspection: The dealers inspect used cars for their benefit, not yours. Before you become a disgruntled buyer who wants to sue a seller over a so-called “inspected” used vehicle, make sure at the very least to test drive the vehicle.Regardless of what the seller may tell you, it’s always best to inspect the car yourself. If you can get a hold of a trusted mechanic or friend who knows cars, bring them along for peace of mind.
