Cumberland Gap, Pineville, Barbourville, Corbin, and East Tennessee shop smarter with

Important Questions to Ask Before Buying a Used Vehicle

Does the vehicle have a clean title and vehicle history?

Always review the vehicle history report before buying a used vehicle. Ask for a
CARFAX® report or AutoCheck® report to verify accident history, ownership records,
title status, and mileage accuracy. A clean history can provide added confidence when
shopping for used cars near Middlesboro, KY.

Are maintenance and service records available?

A well-maintained vehicle typically lasts longer and performs better. Ask whether the
previous owner completed regular oil changes, tire rotations, brake service, and
manufacturer-recommended maintenance intervals.

Are there any open recalls on the vehicle?

Before purchasing any used car, truck, or SUV, use the vehicle VIN to check for
unresolved recalls through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
Redmond Chevrolet can also help verify recall status for many Chevrolet models.

Can I review the inspection checklist?

Ask for the dealership’s multi-point inspection report. This checklist often includes
brake condition, tire tread depth, battery testing, suspension inspection, fluid checks,
and drivetrain evaluations completed by certified technicians.

Chevrolet Model-Specific Used Vehicle Checks

What should I inspect on a used Chevy Silverado, Tahoe, or Suburban?

On some V8-equipped Chevrolet trucks and SUVs, inspect for excessive oil consumption
or engine ticking related to Active Fuel Management (AFM). During your test drive,
listen for unusual engine noise and ask about previous maintenance history.

What should I look for on a used Chevy Colorado?

When test-driving a used Chevy Colorado, pay attention to transmission shifting quality,
electrical operation, and steering responsiveness. Some earlier models experienced
occasional transmission shudder or electrical concerns.

How do I test a used 4WD truck or SUV?

Engage both 4-High and 4-Low during your drive if possible. The transfer case should
shift smoothly without grinding noises, hesitation, or loud clunking sounds. This is
especially important when shopping for used trucks in Kentucky where winter weather and
towing demands are common.
