Show all companiesHow to choose where to buy a car
Companies here include dealers, online retailers that deliver cars to your door, auction sites and listing marketplaces where private sellers and dealers advertise. A marketplace connects you to a seller; it usually is not the seller.
- Vehicle history. Get a history report using the vehicle identification number, and check that the number on the car matches the paperwork.
- Independent inspection. Have a mechanic you choose inspect a used car before you buy.
- Total price. Ask for an itemized final price including documentation fees, delivery and add-ons.
- Return window. Some online retailers offer a return period. Read the mileage limits and fees.
- Financing. Compare a dealer's offer with one from your own bank or credit union.
Common problems and how to avoid them
Delayed title or registration paperwork, cars that arrive with undisclosed damage and add-on products added at signing are common complaints. Read every document before you sign. Never send a deposit by wire transfer or gift card to a private seller you have not met; that is a common pattern in vehicle listing fraud. Check a dealer's CandorRated page to see who appears to run the website, how long the domain has existed, the contact details we found and other buyers' reviews. Filter by country or city to find local dealers.
