Before you buy

Three things, in order. Ten minutes of work, standing at the car.

  1. 1
    Run the VIN for open recalls

    5 open — all free fixes. Confirm each is closed before you hand over money.

  2. 2
    Test-drive checklist
    • Confirm the EPS recall for the exact model and year is completed -- 10V073000 for Cobalt/G5, 14V153000 for G6/HHR/Ion and the 2010 Cobalt.
  3. 3
    Get a pre-purchase inspection

    An hour with a mechanic on the items above is the cheapest insurance you’ll buy.
