Used Car FAQs
01How many miles is too many for a used car?
While many people seek out a buy a used car with low mileage, do not discount a vehicle with mid-range or higher mileage. They can still be very reliable and last you many years to come, and are a great option for people on a budget. A vehicle’s maintenance and condition are often more important to consider than the odometer reading.
02What should I ask a dealership when buying a used car?
Always ask for the vehicle's history report and maintenance records. This will give you an idea of how many owners the vehicle has had, if it's been in any accidents and if it was well cared for. Our local used car sales team will answer all of your questions and help you buy a safe pre-owned car in Illinois.
03Should I buy a used car from a dealership vs. private seller?
It's usually best to buy a used car from a dealership rather than a private seller for a variety of important reasons. For one thing, when you buy from a dealership, the vehicle has undergone a thorough inspection and any mechanical issues have been addressed. This means no surprises!
Another good reason to buy from a local dealership is that we can provide financing solutions, used car specials and other ways to make your payment plan affordable. A private seller won't be able to do this.
Furthermore, when you buy a pre-owned Ram truck or Chrysler van from us, your happiness is our top priority because we want to make you a long-term customer and auto service client. A third-party seller will only be looking for the quick sale, so transparency might not be in their best interests.
04What is the best used vehicle to buy?
This all relates to your lifestyle. For example, if you have a growing family, a pre-owned Chrysler Pacifica or Jeep Grand Cherokee might work best for your needs. If you have a lot of home-improvement projects or need towing capabilities, a used Ram 1500 would be best. Or, if you want fuel-efficiency, check out our pre-owned Jeep Wrangler 4xe hybrids for sale.
