There are many advantages to purchasing a used Honda car, including big savings, a low depreciation rate, and even a wider inventory of model options to choose from. Our team here at Honda Van Nuys will help to match you with the perfect used vehicle for the next great ride. We’re also sharing all you need to know about the pre-owned vehicle purchasing process, including what to do after buying a used Honda vehicle.
1. Verify the Paperwork
Typically, dealerships take care of the paperwork, including registration and title. That said, it’s helpful to double-check the paperwork, make sure that your vehicle adheres to local driving requirements, and ensure there are no other steps required for legal driving.
2. Get it Inspected
It’s always a good idea to get your vehicle inspected, especially if it’s a pre-owned model. Used cars can be reliable and long-lasting, just like new models. Still, the more you know about the vehicle’s service and repair needs and its history of damage and maintenance, the easier it will be to care for it in the future.
3. Order Insurance
It’s also important to ensure that your vehicle insurance is up to date when taking home your pre-owned Honda. This may mean updating a current policy to reflect your new vehicle or taking out a new policy altogether, as long as you and your vehicle are protected and meet state insurance requirements.
When you purchase a pre-owned vehicle, you’ll see significant savings and have access to all your favorite models within your budget. That’s why our team here at Honda Van Nuys carries a wide inventory of pre-owned Honda models you can rely on, and why we’ll also help you get started on the test-driving and financing processes today.
