The town of Clarksburg is well-known in northern West Virginia for its rest and relaxation destinations, including the Splash Zone, Tuscan Sun Spa and the 212 Pub. But to get a great deal on a used car, truck or SUV, Bridgeport, WV is where it's at. Bridgeport is just a short drive from Clarksburg and home to Jenkins Subaru, one of the state's leading sources for high-quality, used automobiles.
If you're in the market for a "new" used car, there are a few things to watch for as you go about your car-quest. For example:
- The test drive. Don't just take it around the block. Drive your car in a couple of different scenarios, including on local roads and on the highway to see if there are differences in the way the car peforms and responds.
- The leak test. Any car that's leaking fluids may be in need of a major repair. While you're out for your test drive, find a clean area on the road to park and let the car run for at least a minute or two. Then check for traces of any substances. Black fluid could be oil, while green fluid is typically antifreeze and pick fluid is probably related to the transmission.
- The third-party test. It pays in the short term to find a good, independent mechanic give your car a thorough once-over before you make a deal. If you have a regular mechanic or repair shop, they may do it for free.
