Questions to ask the seller

  1. Owners of this model report brakes problems more than anything else. Has this car shown any brakes symptoms, and are there repair records for it?
  2. Has this car been in any accident, and can you share a title history and any service records you have?
  3. How many owners has it had, do you have the maintenance records, and why are you selling it?
  4. Are you open to me having an independent mechanic inspect it before we settle on a price?
