“Caveat Emptor,” or " Let the Buyer Beware, " is a well-known phrase for a good reason.
Every used car, truck, or van is sold “As Is.” That means it’s up to you (the buyer) to make sure you know what you’re buying.
For clarity, whenever the text reads “used car,” it is referring to any used vehicle, whether it’s a car, truck, van, SUV, etc.
Once you drive the vehicle off the lot, it’s yours. There may be some legal relief for some things (like mileage rollbacks), but when you sign the papers and drive off the lot, for better or worse, you’re an owner.
If you make a mistake or change your mind, it’s generally too late to do anything about it. You must thoroughly check out the vehicle before you sign on the dotted line.
It’s precisely why most people have little regard and disdain for used car dealers and salespeople.
They’re not all bad, but there are enough bad ones to cause concern, so make sure you do everything possible to make the right decision.
Buying a vehicle is usually an emotional experience that can often lead to poor judgment and bad decisions.
