Examine The Vehicle History Report
One of the great technological advances in the automotive industry is the online vehicle history report.

Some red flags to look for include:
- Salvage title or flood damage
- Accident history
- Consistent service intervals
- Exorbitant number of owners
Listen & Look For Mechanical Problems
Luxury car engines should have a smooth and consistent sound. The brakes should operate smoothly when applied. If anything feels out of place, it’s safer to walk away and look for something else. Other problems to be on the lookout for include:
- Excessively bouncing suspension
- Soft brake pedal with minimal stopping force
- Harsh noises from the transmission
Interior Damage
Modern luxury cars are outfitted with world-class materials for the upholstery and other surfaces. It’s best to avoid vehicles with:
- Excessive damage to the seats, accents and dashboard
- Make sure all systems work properly
- Test environmental controls
