How to Research Used Ford Cars

Jun 21, 2023

Navigating the pre-owned car market can seem like a labyrinth at first. However, with strategic research and a clear plan, finding the perfect used Ford car to match your needs and budget can be a smooth and rewarding journey. Here’s a guide to navigating the process of browsing pre-owned Ford vehicles at Griffin Ford Fort Atkinson.

Determine Your Needs

The first step is to identify what you need in a vehicle. Are you seeking fuel efficiency, passenger space, towing capacity, or advanced safety features? Your needs will guide you toward the right Ford model, whether that’s a compact Ford Focus, a rugged Ford F-150, or a family-friendly Ford Explorer.

Set Your Budget

Establish a budget before delving into research. Remember, owning a car involves more than its upfront cost; consider insurance, fuel, and maintenance expenses as well.

Explore Reliable Sources

Start your research on reliable automotive websites that offer comprehensive data on specific models and model years. Look for detailed information about the Ford models you’re considering, including their reliability ratings, available packages, and the average market price.

Check Vehicle History Reports

Once you’ve shortlisted potential vehicles, obtain their Vehicle History Reports using the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number). These reports provide crucial information like ownership history, recorded accidents, and maintenance records.

Schedule a Pre-Purchase Inspection

Lastly, have one of our trusted mechanics conduct a pre-purchase inspection of the car. This will reveal any hidden issues and give you a clear picture of the car’s current condition and potential future repair costs.
