A used Honda can actually be a very smart investment if you choose the correct model. There are just a few extra things to keep in mind when considering a pre-owned vehicle.

Do Your Research

Before considering a pre-owned vehicle, make sure that you do your research. Search online for information about the model you’re interested in, including reliability scores, reviews from actual owners, and more.

  • What do the current owners think of the vehicle? What do they like about it most?
  • How does it stack up on performance and safety tests?
  • Does it have any common issues?
  • Are there any open recalls?

Review the Vehicle History Report

It’s so important to check out a pre-owned vehicle’s history report before purchasing it. It shows you the vehicle’s past ownership and how it was used (for personal or commercial use, as a rental, as a ride-share, etc.).

It will also let you know if the vehicle was ever involved in an accident, as well as its maintenance and repair history.

Take a Test Drive

Even if a vehicle looks great on paper, that doesn’t necessarily mean its great for you. We encourage you to stop in for a test drive so you can make sure the vehicle is the size you need and has the performance you want. With a pre-owned vehicle, you also want to make sure it doesn’t have any excessive wear or mechanical issues.
