Browse our Used Car Buying Guide for all the information you’ll want to know before starting the process.
Calculate the Value
Research, Research, Research. One of the most important things you’ll want to do before coming to see one of our used models is gauge the current market for the vehicle you want. You’ll get a good understanding of the value your vehicle should hold and what you should be looking for. If you’re wanting an accurate report of how much your vehicle is, use Kelley Blue Book® or Edmunds and give yourself more information to work with. Any research that pertains to your vehicle or the value of your vehicle can be an instrumental tool to your search. Ready to trade in your current vehicle? You’ll want to take advantage of our trade-in estimator to calculate the value of your current vehicle.
Determine the Vehicle’s History
While you're researching everything about your used vehicles, request a CARFAX® Vehicle History Report™ for an in-depth look at the vehicle’s maintenance history, number of owners / title changes and mileage discrepancies (if any). When you shop from us here at Joe Cooper Dodge of Shawnee, we want to give you the most up-to-date information, so that you’re prepared from the beginning.
Look Under the Hood
Lift it up and take a look for yourself. If the CARFAX® Vehicle History Report™ isn’t enough for you to feel safe, you’re more than welcome to check under the hood. Need some help as to what you’re looking at? One of our certified technicians can walk you through what they inspected for your vehicle specifically, but generally, our technicians will search for abnormal noises or vibrations, unsavory smells (burning, fermenting) and undesirable sights (leaky batteries, oil dripping under the car). We don’t feel comfortable giving you a car that hasn’t been inspected or that needs repairs.
Take a Long Test Drive
Ready to see how it drives for yourself? Test drive your new vehicle for the most complete experience.You’ll want to get a feel for how your vehicle drives and test out all the features that you’ll be using. We’re here to give you as much time as you need to make a decision. When you’re ready to get started on your test-drive, just ask one of our incredible team members!
