8 Steps After Buying a Used Car

1. Get Insurance: In order to legally drive your vehicle in Akron, it must be insured. 
2. Transfer the Title: If you buy a used car from Great Lakes Volkswagen of Canton, we’ll transfer the title for you. Those buying from a private seller will need to handle this themselves. 
3. Register the Car: Again, this is something the dealership will handle but that you’d need to do yourself if purchasing from a private seller in Alliance. 
4. Choose a Service Center: Find a reputable service center like the one at Great Lakes Volkswagen of Canton to check and service your vehicle.
5. Schedule Service: Schedule a service appointment to make sure that everything’s been updated and that there aren’t any minor repairs that need to be made. 
6. Read the Owner’s Manual: Look through the owner’s manual to make sure you can enjoy all of your vehicle’s features and so you know how to maintain your make and model. 
7. Check for Recalls: Keep an eye out for any recalls that might impact your vehicle.
8. Research Extended Warranties: There are a variety of extended warranties on the market. Some can be used anywhere, while some require you to visit certain service centers. Look through your available options to see what makes sense for your vehicle.
