Shopping for Used Cars FAQ

When shopping for used cars, the difference between a good buy and a great one comes down to preparation. At Peruzzi Buick GMC in Fairless Hills, PA, we help drivers find dependable, work-ready vehicles every day – and we know what matters most. Whether you're new to the process or getting back into the market, here are five essential things to know before you buy.

Know Your Needs and Budget

Start with the basics. Think about how you’ll use the vehicle. Do you just need something to get to and from work, or do you need a vehicle to haul your family around town? Once you know the size and capability you need, set a realistic budget that includes insurance, maintenance, and fuel. Also, keep in mind our Certified Pre-Owned vehicles, which give you some extra important piece of mind on the road.

Check the Vehicle History

A detailed vehicle history report gives you the facts about your pre-owned vehicle, including past accidents, service records, title status, and more. Every used vehicle at Peruzzi Buick GMC includes this information, so you know exactly what you’re buying.

Test Drive with Purpose

A test drive isn’t just about how the driver’s seat feels – it’s about how your vehicle will perform for you. From acceleration to steering response, take note of how the vehicle handles real-world driving. Our team makes the process easy. Schedule a test drive to see how things like safety features work firsthand.

Factor in Total Ownership Costs

The sticker price is just the beginning. Ownership includes insurance, fuel, and regular auto service. You’ll want to factor these into your monthly budget for your vehicle. Some features, like StabiliTrak® or available all-wheel drive, offer long-term value in the right conditions.

Plan Your Financing Ahead of Time
