2. Buying from a private seller
• Used cars come with a whole world of apprehension.
Especially when buying from a private seller. If you’re opting
for this route when buying your next car, you need to be
extra careful and absolutely sure that this is the right car
for you.
• Dealerships, like Toyota of Orlando, are held to certain
standards and are required to abide by state and federal
laws when selling their vehicles.
• To make sure you ask the right questions,Toyota of
Orlando is here with a simple to follow guide on what you
should find out before you hand over your cash.

3. 1) Why are you selling your car?
• This should be the first question you ask a private used car seller.The reason
why they’re letting go of their vehicle could be a good indicator of whether or
not you should abandon this particular used car as an option.
• If they seem hesitant or untruthful in their answer, you might want to explore
some different options.

4. 2) How many miles are on it?
• Make sure to check out a vehicle history report before
asking this question.Ask the seller what the current
mileage on the used car is and check it against the history
report.
• If the number doesn’t match, walking away and looking for
a different Orlando Toyota vehicle is a fine option.
• You may also want to ask if the miles on the car are
predominantly from city or highway driving.

5. 3) How many previous owners?
• How many previous people have driven or owned the Orlando Toyota you’re
interested in? While more than one previous owner isn’t necessarily a bad
thing, it does mean that there’s a greater likelihood that the used car has run
into issues.

6. 4) Have there been any undisclosed
accidents or collisions?
• Any and all previous accidents and damages should be
disclosed on a used car history report.
• Make sure that the seller is honest about the Orlando
Toyota vehicle’s accident history when asked.
• Be sure to inspect the vehicle carefully before shaking
hands and exchanging money.

7. 5) What kind of paperwork do you have?
• To really verify that all the answers you got were truthful, request paperwork.
• Ask for service and repair receipts, parts and accessory orders, and any
warranty documentation.
