Questions to ask before scheduling an in-person meeting. Once you have found a vehicle you may like to buy, there are some preliminary questions you can ask over the phone or through email that will help you decide if it is worth it to even go and look at it.

  • "Do you have the keys and title?"
  • "Is the title in your name?"
  • "Is the vehicle driveable? Will it make it to where I live? Or will it need to be towed?"
  • If the vehicle is not driveable, "What would it take to get the vehicle running again?"
  • "Does it leak any fluids? Oil, transmission fluid, coolant, brake fluid?"
  • "Do all the lights and turn signals work properly?"
  • "Are there any major mechanical issues that you know of?"
  • "When will the vehicle be available for sale?"

These questions will help you assess the worth of going out to see it and help you decide which questions to ask next. It is also useful to know what fluids the vehicle may leak, so that you can bring some with you to get it home.

In-person questions to start with. If you have decided that you want to continue the trip out to see the new vehicle, then move on with me to another set of questions that will help you get to know your future road machine.

Alot of these questions will work off of the questions you asked over the phone, as well as lead into other questions you might want to ask next.
