Steps After Buying a Pre-Owned Car

Curious about what to do after buying a used car in Fairfield? Once you’ve signed on the dotted line, you’ll want to take the following steps to ensure every base is covered as a Norwalk car owner:

  • Get Insurance: Before you leave our Fairfield lot, you want to be sure your vehicle is fully covered. You won’t be able to drive the car legally to your home without insurance.
  • Transfer The Title: If you’ve purchased your vehicle from a dealership like Mercedes-Benz of Fairfield, we’ll take care of the title transfer. When buying from a private seller, you need to do that yourself.
  • Register The Car: Once again, we’ll undertake to register your vehicle, but you’ll need to visit your local DMV with the correct paperwork if buying from a private seller.
  • Choose The Right Mechanic: If you’re looking for a reliable collection of experienced technicians, our service center can maintain your chosen vehicle for years.
  • Schedule Service: Remember to schedule maintenance for necessary repairs, including a quick oil change or tire rotation. Even if a pre-owned vehicle has a great service history, it may need small repairs. 
  • Review The Owner’s Manual: Take some time to familiarize yourself with the car you’ve purchased. Learn about all its features, how to use the included keyfob, the right oil type, etc.
  • Check For Recalls: Both new and pre-owned vehicles can have recalls issued for something related to their mechanical or technological features. As a car owner, be on the lookout for any recalls that affect your model.
  • Consider an Extended Warranty: Extended warranties can come in multiple forms, so it’s important to determine what seems best for your needs. Some warranties might only be usable at certain auto shops, so be sure you know what you’re paying for.
