A used Toyota is often the right choice if you are looking for reliable, affordable transportation. If you follow this simple checklist, you're sure to get yourself a car for many years to come. 1. Read up on your selected used Toyota model. Know what you are after, before you even set a foot in a dealership. Use the internet, read reviews and user submitted opinions. Look for approximately how much a given model is sold on auction sites. 2. Get all the info you can about the dealer. An isolated bad opinion or two don't mean much, but if you see a pattern of complaints – stay away. You want a used Toyota, not an abused Toyota repainted for show. 3. Get a detailed car history from the dealer and verify it via Toyota. A well used Toyota is built to last for years. Red flags include numerous users, high millage, or any serious accidents – and hence repairs. 4. Make full use of a test drive. You don't need to take yours-to-be used Toyota to the racetrack or crash-test it, but try to see how it performs at various speeds. Listen to the engine! 5. Stop by a garage and have a specialist give the used Toyota a good look-over. These will hopefully assist you on your car buying journey.
