1.Lack of accurate car service and repair records: If the seller can’t provide you with the reliable car service log and repair records, then you should  walk away. Cars with detailed set of repair and maintenance records will give you a good idea about how well the car has been kept.

2.Dents and stains: You can easily spot the evident signs of neglect by checking the dings and chipped paints of the potential Chevrolet model in Whitesboro or any other vicinity.  A car owner who overlooks fixing up the dents or ugly stains of his vehicle won’t even care about its mechanical condition.

3.Rust and wet spots: A good under-the-hood check of the late model used cars can help you in checking wet spots, which may indicate leaking oils or fluids. On the other hand, signs of rust may be the signs of flood damage.

4.Recall works and technical service bulletin: If the car was recalled to make any repair and the owner failed to get the work done, then it is known as an open recall. Give up the thoughts of buying a car that is subjected to an open recall. Ask whether the potential Chevrolet model is current on all recall works. Also check the technical service bulletin reports of the car.

 
Vigilant selection of an automobile, reviewing the car service records and a detailed inspection by a trustworthy mechanic will help you  ensure that you aren’t getting stuck with a lemon.
