Best Way To Find A Specific Used Car
Finding the perfect pre-owned car can be a challenge, especially when you have a specific make or model in mind. At Cassels Garage in West Melbourne, FL, we understand how important it is to find a used vehicle that meets your needs, budget, and preferences.
At Cassels Garage, we offer a Car Concierge Service to help you locate the right vehicle through a network of trusted sources. If you’re searching for a used car, our team is here to guide you through the process and ensure you make a well-informed decision.

- We Do the Research – Our team leverages an extensive network of car dealers and trusted sellers to find options that fit your criteria.
- Vehicle History & Inspection – We help you verify vehicle history reports, including Carfax reports, and recommend thorough inspections before purchase.
- Test Drive & Purchase Support – Once we locate a potential vehicle, we will guide you through the test drive process and assist you with securing financing options if needed.
Steps To Finding The Right Used Car
Even if you prefer to search on your own, following these steps can help simplify your car-buying experience:
1. Define Your Needs & Budget
Before beginning your search, outline the following:
- Preferred make and model
- Year of manufacture
- Mileage
- Features and trim levels
- Body style
- Safety ratings
- Price range and financing options
2. Search Through Reliable Listings
If you’re searching independently, use reputable sources such as certified dealerships, online car websites, and trusted seller networks. Cassels Garage can connect you with verified sellers to ensure a safer transaction.
3. Consider Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) Vehicles
Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) vehicles undergo rigorous inspections and often come with manufacturer-backed warranties, offering peace of mind when purchasing a used car. A CPO car provides added confidence when making a car purchase.
4. Check Vehicle History Reports
Review the Carfax report or similar reports to verify past ownership, accident history, title status, and maintenance records. Cassels Garage can help interpret these reports so you can identify potential problems.
5. Verify The VIN (Vehicle Identification Number)
Before purchasing, use the VIN to confirm the car’s history and ensure it matches the seller’s description.
6. Inspect & Test Drive The Vehicle
Once you’ve found a potential match, schedule an in-person inspection and test drive to evaluate performance, comfort, and overall condition. If you’re unsure, Cassels Garage can assist in arranging a professional inspection to have the car inspected before purchase.
7. Compare Car Prices & Negotiate Smartly
Research similar models to ensure you’re paying a fair price. Our team can provide insight into market trends and fair value estimates.
8. Evaluate Financing Options
If financing is needed, explore different lenders for the best interest rates. While Cassels Garage is not a lender, we can connect you with trusted financing resources to support your car purchase.
9. Consider Private Sellers Vs. Dealerships
Private sellers may offer lower prices but lack dealership-backed warranties. Cassels Garage can help you weigh the pros and cons of different purchase options. Additionally, checking the Better Business Bureau for reviews can provide additional insights into a seller’s reputation.
