Here Are the Top 13 Questions to Ask at the Dealership"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether you&#8217;re in the market for a new or used car, you&#8217;ll want to ask the right questions when visiting your dealership. Choosing the right car is an important decision that can affect both your lifestyle and wallet \u2014 and knowing what to ask beforehand can help you get it just right. From questions about price ranges, safety features, financing options, and more, here are some key questions that will ensure you&#8217;re making an informed purchase when buying your ideal car!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1. How Much Is the Car?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the most important questions you should ask your dealer when buying a car is how much it costs. This may seem like an obvious question, but it&#8217;s important to get a clear understanding of the total cost of the vehicle, including any fees or taxes. By asking this question upfront, you can avoid any surprises later on and make sure that you are getting a fair deal.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. How Long is the Warranty &amp; Does It Cover Any Maintenance?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When purchasing a car, it&#8217;s important to consider the warranty that comes with it. A car is a significant investment, and you want to ensure that you&#8217;re protected in case anything goes wrong. One of the most crucial questions to ask when buying a car is the length of the warranty and what kind of maintenance it covers, if any.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">New cars typically come with free labor charges for the first few scheduled services so you don\u2019t need to worry about the initial labor charges of servicing your car. A car warranty typically covers repairs for a certain period after purchase, which can vary depending on the manufacturer or dealership.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Warranty for Used Cars<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While used cars typically don\u2019t come with a warranty, you can ask the dealership if they have an extended warranty program. All <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/carsome-certified\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CARSOME Certified cars<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> come with a one-year Gold Warranty Plan as standard that covers the engine, transmission, and air conditioning. For even more protection, you can upgrade to the Platinum Plan to cover more components for extra peace of mind.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Read More: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/item\/carsome-warranty-claim\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to Claim Your 1-Year CARSOME Extended Warranty<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. What Are the Safety Features Available?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to buying a car, safety is one of the most important factors to consider. Fortunately, modern technology has made significant advancements in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/item\/car-safety-features\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">car safety features<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, providing drivers and passengers with added protection on the road. From airbags to lane departure warning, there are a variety of safety features available that can help prevent accidents and minimize injuries in the event of a collision.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most modern cars come with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) that include autonomous assistance features such as adaptive cruise control, rear cross-traffic alert, and even parking assist. So be sure to find out the features that the car has before you settle on it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-32379\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/tnc-blog-fb-image-1024x576-1.jpg\" alt=\"CARSOME Consultant and Customer\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/tnc-blog-fb-image-1024x576-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/tnc-blog-fb-image-1024x576-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/tnc-blog-fb-image-1024x576-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/tnc-blog-fb-image-1024x576-1-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/tnc-blog-fb-image-1024x576-1-696x392.jpg 696w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4. What Other Features Does It Have?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We often focus on the main features like engine performance and safety. However, there are other features that can greatly enhance our experience while driving. For instance, smaller details such as the location and accessibility of the charging port or cup holder can make a big difference for you and your passengers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Connectivity features such as wireless Android Auto or Apple CarPlay, on the other hand, can help you easily control your navigation and music without fumbling with your phone. These seemingly minor features can actually make a big difference in the day-to-day use of your vehicle.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5. Can I Test-Drive the Car?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It&#8217;s important to make sure that the car you\u2019re interested in is the right fit for you. One way to do this is by <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/item\/everything-you-need-to-know-about-a-test-drive\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">taking the car for a test drive<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and seeing if it feels comfortable and suits your needs. Fortunately, most dealerships offer the opportunity to take a test drive before making a purchase. This allows you to get behind the wheel, experience how the car handles on the road, and see if it meets your expectations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During a test drive, you can ask questions about features and specifications that matter to you. If you\u2019re buying a used car, this is the opportunity to find out if the car has any engine, mechanical, or handling problems as well. Don&#8217;t be afraid to ask for one &#8211; it could save you from making an expensive mistake down the road.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6. Do You Have the Car\u2019s Maintenance History?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to purchasing a used car, one of the most important pieces of information to gather is the car&#8217;s maintenance history. This refers to the service records and repairs that have been performed on the vehicle throughout its lifetime. Having access to this information can provide valuable insights into the car&#8217;s overall condition and help you make an informed decision about whether or not to buy it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-31713\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/wp\/G\/tt\/GettyImages-1165311243-1-scaled-1-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"mechanic holding clipboard\" width=\"696\" height=\"465\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/wp\/G\/tt\/GettyImages-1165311243-1-scaled-1-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/wp\/G\/tt\/GettyImages-1165311243-1-scaled-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/wp\/G\/tt\/GettyImages-1165311243-1-scaled-1-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/wp\/G\/tt\/GettyImages-1165311243-1-scaled-1-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/wp\/G\/tt\/GettyImages-1165311243-1-scaled-1-2048x1367.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/wp\/G\/tt\/GettyImages-1165311243-1-scaled-1-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/wp\/G\/tt\/GettyImages-1165311243-1-scaled-1-696x465.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/wp\/G\/tt\/GettyImages-1165311243-1-scaled-1-1068x713.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/wp\/G\/tt\/GettyImages-1165311243-1-scaled-1-1920x1282.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7. Has It Been in Any Accidents?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the most important questions to ask before buying a used car is whether or not it has been in any accidents. Accidents can cause damage to the car that may not be immediately visible, but can have long-lasting effects on its performance and safety. As a result, it\u2019s important to find that out before making a purchase.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All cars sold on CARSOME have been thoroughly inspected by our qualified inspectors to rule out major accident, fire, and flood damage, so you can rest assured when you buy a CARSOME Certified car.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">8. Does It Have Any Problems or Damages?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s normal for a car to encounter problems and damages over its lifetime. From minor paint damage to more serious mechanical issues, these are problems that can appear in a used car. When buying a used car, make sure you determine if it has any defects, and the severity of them, if any. A car with minor cosmetic damages such as small scratches or faded interior upholstery isn\u2019t really a dealbreaker as these things don\u2019t affect its safety and performance. In fact, they could be points to help you lower the car\u2019s price.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Accessing the Inspection Report of CARSOME Cars<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At CARSOME, all cars come with a comprehensive report covering the condition of 175 inspected points including critical mechanical components such as the brakes, engine, and steering. You can find this report on each of our listings or simply request our CARSOME Consultants to help you with it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-34294\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/CARSOME-Inspection-Report-Example-Proton-Iriz-1024x539.png\" alt=\"Online CARSOME Inspection Report Example\" width=\"696\" height=\"366\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/CARSOME-Inspection-Report-Example-Proton-Iriz-1024x539.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/CARSOME-Inspection-Report-Example-Proton-Iriz-300x158.png 300w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/CARSOME-Inspection-Report-Example-Proton-Iriz-768x404.png 768w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/CARSOME-Inspection-Report-Example-Proton-Iriz-1536x809.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/CARSOME-Inspection-Report-Example-Proton-Iriz-150x79.png 150w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/CARSOME-Inspection-Report-Example-Proton-Iriz-696x366.png 696w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/CARSOME-Inspection-Report-Example-Proton-Iriz-1068x562.png 1068w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/CARSOME-Inspection-Report-Example-Proton-Iriz.png 1738w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Example of the inspection report on CARSOME\u2019s car listing page<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">9. What\u2019s the Age &amp; Mileage of the Car?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The age and mileage are two of the most important factors that determine a used car\u2019s value. Its\u00a0 age and mileage can have a significant impact on its condition, performance, and overall worth. While some buyers may be hesitant to purchase a car with high mileage, others may see it as an opportunity to get a good deal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While the age and mileage of a car are important considerations, they don\u2019t make or break a car. As long as a car is properly maintained and driven responsibly, it can last for well over 100,000km and still serve you well. That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to view the car in person and take it out for a test drive. A test drive will allow you to evaluate the way it drives and notice things you wouldn\u2019t if you just inspected the car without driving it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Read More: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/item\/car-inspection-tips\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6 Car Inspection Industry Secrets Shared by CARSOME Inspectors<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">10. Do You Have Any Discounts or Promotions?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to purchasing a new car, every penny counts. That\u2019s why car manufacturers and dealerships often offer a variety of promotions to help you with your purchase. Be sure to ask the dealer for any available discounts or promotions as you never know what\u2019s the latest available deal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re looking for a used car from CARSOME, you can look out for the latest promotions on our website or app. You can also ask the CARSOME Consultant at our Experience Centers for available deals to get even more savings when you buy from us.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">11. Are There Special Financing Terms?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Buying a car is a significant investment, and finding the right financing option can make all the difference. Fortunately, many car dealerships and lenders offer special financing terms to help you get behind the wheel of your dream car without breaking the bank.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Car financing deals can include promotions such as low-interest rates, cashback offers, or easier loan approvals. These can help you save money on your car loan and even help make it easier for you to secure a loan.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shopping for the best car loan can be a tedious process.

Can You Deliver the Car to Me?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you live far from a car dealership or don\u2019t have the convenience of collecting your car in person, you can often ask the dealership to deliver the car to you. Be sure to ask them if that\u2019s an option and if it comes with any cost. When you buy from CARSOME you can choose to collect your car in person at your chosen Experience Center or opt for a home delivery where we\u2019ll deliver the car to your doorstep at absolutely no cost!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Experience the Trusted Way to Buy a Car at CARSOME<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Buying a vehicle at CARSOME is more than just about choosing and booking your car online.
