Used Car Sales Increasing As Consumers Find Savings in PreOwned Car Market

BUFORD - With the sluggish economy, many are rethinking purchasing a new vehicle and insteading opting for a used one. Several metro dealerships say while new cars sales are up from last year, used car sales are up even more.

"We're probably up about five to 10 percent in new cars,” says Joe Isbell at Gorges Volvo, which has experienced an even bigger jump on the used car lot.

“Significant increase, we've really grown our used car operation here at the store and we've found that there's actually about a 20 to 25 percent increase over last year in the used car business. That's been our biggest increase here at our store."

The likely answer is driven by the economy. "When's the economy's down, people get a little tighter with their money and we've found when you get a little tighter with your money you start looking at the used car operations," says Isbell.

While larger dealerships like Gorges offer the reliability of a certified used car, what if that's not an option? How do you tell a deal from a clunker?

"You want to start looking at all the body panels, does the paint match, do the body panels line up, open and close the doors,” says Peter Fink with Certified Transmission at 54th and Center.

Fink says you're not only looking for problems, but how well the car was cared for. "A good secret is look at the tires. Are they the matching tires, are they the same brand?"

Make sure you raise the hood and check the battery. "Batteries last about on an average about four, maybe five years, so if the car is four or five years old and it's got the original battery, chances are you're going to need a battery," says Fink.

Make sure to check the oil. "That it's brown, you want to make sure that it's just not black." Check the transmission fluid and then take it for a drive. "Not just a two or three mile road test, but I mean 10, 15, 20 miles,” says Fink. “Turn the radio off, you're not interested in the radio, you want to listen to the rest of the car."

Fink says if you're spending thousands of dollars on a used car, it's a good idea to get it inspected by a mechanic. He says it's the best $100-$200 you can spend toward your investment.
