Compare total cost, seller identity, documents, inspection and after-sales support.
Last updated: 2026-08-17
Set a total budget that includes tax, registration, insurance, finance charges and first-year maintenance. For a used car, match the chassis and engine numbers to the documents, arrange an independent inspection and avoid paying before ownership and seller identity are verified. For a new car, request a written quotation, warranty terms, delivery date and included accessories.
