Why Choose Lava Automotives for Your Automotive Needs

• Vehicle History: Check for accidents, service records, and previous ownership.
• Condition: Inspect the exterior, interior, and under the hood for any signs of wear or damage.
• Test Drive: Always take the car for a test drive to assess performance and comfort.
• Mileage: Consider the mileage in relation to the car’s age; lower mileage often indicates less wear.
• Warranty: Look for any remaining warranty or consider purchasing an extended warranty.

You can buy used cars from various places, including:

• Dealerships: Reputable dealerships often offer certified pre-owned vehicles.
• Online Platforms: Websites like Autotrader, CarGurus, and Craigslist list used cars for sale by private sellers and dealers.
• Auctions: Car auctions can be a good source for finding used vehicles, though they may require more research.
• Private Sellers: Buying directly from a private seller can sometimes lead to better deals, but be cautious and conduct thorough checks.

While it’s generally required to pay sales tax on used cars, there are a few scenarios where you might reduce or avoid this cost:

• Trade-In: Some regions allow you to deduct the trade-in value from the purchase price, reducing the taxable amount.
• Exemptions: Check if you qualify for tax exemptions based on specific criteria, such as purchasing for non-profit organizations or military exemptions.
• Private Sales: In some areas, buying from a private seller may have different tax implications, but this varies by location.
