When it comes to used cars for sale in Waukesha, you need to buy from someone you can trust. That's where Ewald Auto comes into play. We are a car dealer near Waukesha who cares about our community and customers. We have multiple convenient locations in the Milwaukee and Waukesha area and flexible hours.

Should I buy a used car from a dealership?

Yes, you should! Oh, what a surprise. The used car dealer is endorsing buying used cars for sale in Waukesha from dealers. But seriously, buying from a trusted dealer (like us) will save you time, money, and stress.

• Let's say you choose to buy from a private seller. First, you have to get online and find a few cars that fit your specifications. Then, you have to get to each seller and test drive their car individually. You have to get the vehicle history report from them and be more careful about examining the car than you would at a trusted dealership. If you find a car that suits you, you have to take care of all the paperwork. After all that, you might still have problems with the car down the road.
• If you buy from Ewald Auto, we have a massive inventory of certified pre-owned cars. These have undergone rigorous inspections and come with an optional 3-year/100k mile warranty on qualifying cars! This way, you can buy with confidence.
• We make things easy for you at Ewald Auto. You can even search through all our used cars for sale near Waukesha from your own home. Just head to our website and start shopping.
• We will take care of all the paperwork! Whether you're planning on financing or don't want to deal with registration, we can do it for you.
• You get a quality repair shop in the deal when you buy from us. We offer you the Ewald guarantee: complete satisfaction, or we'll re-do the work at no extra cost or refund your money! You won't find that offer with many other used cars for sale near Waukesha.

How to buy a used car from a dealer

If you've decided on buying your used car in Waukesha from a dealer, you need to know how to shop. Luckily, it's much easier than other options.

• Before you come in, figure out what you want. Do some research on what car would be best for your situation. Do you have a family? Research all used SUVs for sale in your area. Do you do a lot of intense off-roading and towing? Check out our used trucks for sale here.
• Figure out your budget. Then, when you come in, we can show you the used car for sale that will work for you in Waukesha.
• What do you think about financing? Get pre-approved before you even set foot in one of our dealerships. Pre-approval will make it easier to focus on the important part: finding the Waukesha used car for sale of your dreams.
• Once you come into the dealership, take test drives seriously. Check every aspect of the car on your test drive. Test drive multiple cars, even if you think you know exactly which model you want. We want you to be 100% happy with your choice!
• After you've found your dream car, let us know! We'll take it from there.

How to get the best deal on a used car

It's more important than ever to get a good deal on a used car for sale. The market might not be great, but you can still get a great price if you follow these steps.

• First of all, you need to know precisely what kind of car you want. Narrow it down as much as possible, maybe even to the make, model, and year. The more you know what you want, the better your chance of getting a good deal.
• Next, research that car. Figure out how much that used car for sale costs in the Waukesha area. Know what you should pay, and don't let a dealer swindle you. However, you don't have to worry about that at Ewald Auto with our transparent live market pricing process.
• Get financing before you enter the dealership. Having financing means one less thing to negotiate during the process. The more numbers in the equation, the more confused you might get. Check out our pre-approval process for financing here.
• Shop where supply is high, and demand is low. This advice can mean different things. It could mean coming in at the beginning of a month when dealers have more inventory. Or, it could mean figuring out what used cars for sale in Waukesha are in low demand. Maybe people around here don't care much for hybrid cars. Do some more research to figure it out.

What to ask when buying a used car from the dealership

If you want to be confident that you're getting a quality used car, there are some specific questions. Of course, all our used cars for sale near Waukesha are top-quality at Ewald Auto. But we want you to ask us any questions that come up for your peace of mind.

• How many owners has the car had? Compare the answer to its age and mileage. If it had too many previous owners, there might be something wrong with it.
• How long has it been sitting on the lot? If a dealer can't move a car off the lot, it might be because something is wrong with it.
• Can I get an independent inspection done? An inspection from a mechanic you trust will give you peace of mind. Plus, if a dealer is reluctant, that might be a bad sign.
• How old is the car/what is the mileage? Most used cars for sale in Waukesha and all over have been driven about 14,000 miles per year. Do some calculations to see if it's around that number.
• How does this dealer price their cars? At Ewald Auto, we use live market pricing. It's completely transparent. The system takes thousands of used cars for sale in Waukesha and surrounding areas into account, plus our inventory.

You are ready to start your new-old car journey with all this information. So why are you waiting? Start researching, or head over to the inventory on our website to see what we have available. When you're ready to come in and start test driving, we'll be waiting!
