Steps After Buying a Used Car

So what are the next steps after buying a used car near Boca Raton? There are a few tasks to complete that avoid legal issues and provide general peace of mind. Check out what our team recommends: 

• Insure the Vehicle: Since you cannot legally drive a new or used car from a dealership lot without insurance, you’ll want to insure your ride. This is actually a step to take before completing your used car purchase. You can either 1) obtain insurance prior to visiting the dealership or 2) get coverage during the car-buying process. 
• Transfer the Title: The title proves that you are the true owner of the vehicle. Depending on which dealership you work with, the title transfer is taken care of for you. Since we pride ourselves on being the premier West Palm Beach used car dealer, we are among the dealerships that do title transfers! 
• Register the Car: Our dealership handles car registration tasks as well. If you buy from a private seller, you must visit your local DMV to register the vehicle. Bring the correct paperwork if you go the DMV route, which includes your driver’s license, car title, and proof of insurance, among other documentation. Check what your state requirements are!
• Review the Owner’s Manual: Your owner’s manual provides important information about vehicle usage, maintenance, and more, such as whether it takes regular or synthetic oil, and the estimated battery life. 
• Schedule Auto Services: Tire rotations, spark plug changes, an engine check, and an oil change are among the maintenance services your “new” vehicle might need. Our Service Center offers a comprehensive range of maintenance options to keep your vehicle running smoothly. 
• Consider an Extended Warranty: Researching extended warranty possibilities is always a good idea in light of the vehicle’s maintenance requirements. Make certain your selected extended warranty will be honored at our Land Rover Palm Beach used car dealership or anywhere else you go.
