At LCM Used Car Center, we know one of the most important experiences you'll have before deciding to purchase a pre-owned car is the test drive. Getting behind the wheel is a sure-fire way to tell if everything is in top working order and that you and your potential purchase fit together. Scheduling a test drive is something we recommend everyone does, and the people at Cars.com agree.
"No matter how sure you are that a car is perfect, everyone should still take a test drive," says Joe Wiesenfelder, Cars.com Executive Editor. "This is your chance to size up the car when it's stationary, and to drive it like you plan to every day."1 In other words, if you know what to look for, taking a car for a test drive can actually be a very informative experience. As such, here are a few tips to getting the most out of your next test drive.
- Inspect the interior before even starting the car, so that you're not distracted on the road- Make sure the driver seat is adjusted and that you're completely comfortable, so that you can focus on how the car drives and not whether or not you're able to reach the gas pedal
- Check for the level of visibility in each window
- Bring a friend along who can ride with you during the test drive. They might notice a nice feature or a point of concern that you otherwise wouldn't
Once those things have been done, you're good to test how the car drives. And that's exactly what LCM Used Car Center invites you to do with the used car near Lancaster you've been eyeing at 5250 Main St in East Petersburg today.
