Hey everyone,
I recently moved to San Diego and I’m starting the hunt for a reliable used car. Since I’m new here, I’m trying to figure out where people usually find the best deals on used cars in San Diego. Some folks suggest dealerships for the paperwork and warranties, while others swear by private sellers or online listings to save money. I’m also curious about how locals approach negotiations and what the must-do steps are when checking a car’s history and condition. For example, do most buyers here run a Carfax, get a mechanic’s inspection, or rely on trust with the seller? I’d really appreciate any tips or experiences, especially about the documents and inspections that are essential before finalizing the deal. I feel like this info could help not just me, but a lot of newcomers trying to avoid mistakes when buying their first used car in San Diego.
