How to Buy a Good Used Mercedes Car

Mercedes Benz has long been an excellent used car to purchase. A Mercedes dealership is a good source for a used car, but you should recognize that their prices may be elevated due to overhead costs and other expenses. Private owners are also good sources, as well as used car lots or independent dealers. When buying from either source, you'll want to ask detailed questions and request Carfax information that is available on the car.

Instructions

1

Determine your budget for the purchase of the used Mercedes. Select a make and model Mercedes that fits your budget and has the features that you want. Check the price range online with NADA.com, kbb.com or any reputable site with used car values.

2

Perform your due diligence on your chosen used make and model. Check the size, fit and utility of the vehicle. Also, check the year, mileage, equipment and engine. Check for any warranty information and the average repair costs of the vehicle as well.

3

Test drive the vehicle at a dealer. This allows you to assess how the vehicle handles firsthand.

4

Secure the financing for an automobile. Compare interest rates at lending institutions to get the best rate possible and the lowest possible payment.

5

Choose a vehicle. Always negotiate the price. Keep in mind the price ranges that you researched and get the best possible price that you can. Most sellers have some room to negotiate built into the price.
