Tips for Buying Used SUVs
From providing extra cargo space to tackling Alberta’s rugged terrain, there are plenty of reasons to choose a used SUV. Before you make a purchase, there are a few points to consider to ensure your SUV meets your lifestyle and driving needs.

Here are some key tips to keep in mind when shopping for a used SUV!

Choosing Your SUV
Used SUVs don’t come with that fresh-from-the-factory guarantee, so doing your homework is essential. Make sure to research models that suit your priorities — whether that’s fuel efficiency, towing capability, or advanced safety features. Walk around the SUV and look for exterior issues such as dents, scratches, rust spots, or uneven gaps between panels that might indicate prior damage.

Pay attention to tire condition by checking tread depth and sidewalls for cracks. Don’t forget to inspect lights, mirrors, and roof racks to ensure they are intact and functional.

Inspecting the Interior Space
After your exterior walk-around, step inside and inspect the interior. Check for stains, rips, or excessive wear on the seats and floor mats. Test all electronics like the infotainment system, rearview camera, power windows, and sunroof to confirm they work properly. Lift the mats to look for signs of water damage or rust on the floor.

Under the Hood
Pop the hood to inspect belts and hoses — they should be firm, not cracked or frayed. Look for fluid leaks and rust on components like the battery or radiator. When you start the engine, listen for unusual noises, and check that warning lights on the dash function as they should.

Taking a Test Drive
During your test drive, test all controls — from climate settings to wipers and headlights. Pay attention to steering responsiveness, brake feel, and acceleration. Notice any strange sounds or vibrations. Make sure you feel confident about the SUV’s handling, especially if you plan on driving in challenging conditions.
