Ok, so this Friday or Next Friday (my days off) I plan on checking out car at a dealership. Ive been to this dealer before, and wasn't pleased with their sales. They have a show floor, but house their cars at a WH then send a runner to get it. I went last time looking at Corvettes, took 20 mins to talk to me, and then 30 mins after that I asked a guy so did anyone grab the car so I can see? They did, but never went back to me to lmk. I'm 28 now, was like 25 then. I don't dress to impress so most assume I'm broke AF.
Ive never bought a used car over $15k, so I usually don't care to much about inspections. Ill test drive it, check for sounds, look under, feel the steering and simple things like that. Never really had a problem. (Ive bought 6 cars I think) Only issue was a Starter went out a day after I bought. It started up fine, probably 6 times before I left the guys house but made a hard turn at like 40mph and that's when something happened no idea, but it wouldn't start afterwards. Since that, Ive had that car 2 years, no issues.
This car however is $30k for an 05. So if something does go wrong, Ill be a little more pissed off. I don't know any Techs in that area I can have the car inspected by. It has a supercharger which I like, but also makes me nervous.
So pretty much, my question is this, what steps can I take to feel a little more confident about buying a 10 year old, used $30k car?
