Purchasing a used car can be a daunting experience. Many dealershipswill advertise that they have “great cheap cars” for sale, but many forget that quality and condition should always be the first concerns. From private sellers to used-car corner lots, consumers have to be diligent in their used vehicle search to avoid ending up with a lemon.
Thankfully, if you’re looking for a used car in Niagara Falls, St. Catharines, Welland, Grimsby or anywhere in the Niagara region you can come to one of the PerformanceCars dealerships.

Here are some “best practices” to keep in mind while searching for your used car:
1. The first thing you should remember is to purchase your used car from a reputable dealer who conducts a thorough inspection of the vehicle before advertising it for sale. Buying from a dealer means you won’t discover any “surprise” liens being held against the vehicle later on.

2. Do some research. There are a lot of vehicle manufacturers out there, so take the time to get to know more than one –you want to make sure you find the car that’s right for you.

3. When you’re considering a used vehicle, a methodical inspection is a must. Don’t examine a vehicle at night or in the rain, as these conditions will obscure its appearance. Opt for a clear, sunny day instead. The staff at any PerformanceCars dealership will be happy to go over a vehicle’s history with you as well.

4. Set a budget. Knowing how much you’re able to spend will help you greatly in your search. Another advantage of purchasing from PerformanceCars is the access we have to various financial institutions and the financing divisions of the manufacturers we represent. You’ll find the used car leasing and financing options we offer to be some of the most competitive plans in Niagara.

5. Get some insurance. And we don’t mean monthly payments. PerformanceCars offers a 30 day Vehicle Replacement Guarantee – if you’re not satisfied with your purchase, we’ll give you a full-value exchange on any vehicle on our lot.

6. Lastly, if you’ve found your dream car then take it for a spin! We’re always excited to take our guests out for a test drive if they’re considering one of our used cars in St. Catharines. Booking a test drive is simple – it can even be done through our website. And it’s FREE!
