Firstly, make sure that the used car you want to buy has a vehicle history report. Ask for a CARFAX History Report when you shop for your next pre-owned vehicle at our local Mazda dealer. You will want to note any extensive damage to the car, as well as any minor scratches or small dents that sometimes come with used vehicles. Additionally, be sure to take it for a test-drive and listen for any mechanical issues or unusual noises.
