Auto Dealers and Vehicle Sales

Local dealer starting points plus a fact-based checklist for inventory, pricing, financing, trade-ins, warranties, inspections, titles, and safety recalls.

Inventory changes continuously. Confirm that a specific vehicle is physically available before traveling. Ask for the stock number, VIN, mileage, title status, advertised price, dealer fees, warranty status, and written out-the-door price.

Before you sign

  1. Identify the exact vehicle. Record the VIN, stock number, mileage, trim, options, title status, and whether it is new, used, demonstrator, rental, or program inventory.
  2. Get the out-the-door price in writing. Separate vehicle price, taxes, title and registration charges, dealer fees, add-ons, service contracts, and financing costs.
  3. Review the Buyers Guide on a used vehicle. The FTC requires dealers to display it. It states whether the vehicle is sold with a warranty or as is. Keep the final copy.
  4. Arrange an independent inspection. Ask whether your mechanic may inspect the vehicle on or off the lot before purchase. A history report does not replace a mechanical inspection.
  5. Check recalls by VIN. Use the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration lookup and ask how open recalls will be handled.
  6. Finalize financing before surrendering a trade-in. Read every contingency. Get all promises, rates, terms, warranties, repairs, and cancellation conditions in the signed documents.
