Consumer Watch: What to Know Before Buying a Used Car in Nevada
With car prices rising, more people in the Las Vegas Valley are turning to used cars as an affordable option. However, consumer attorneys warn that a "good deal" can end up costing thousands if not careful.
A local resident, Marie Sepian, shared her recent car-buying experience. She thought she found a great deal when purchasing a used 2024 Honda Civic from a small East Las Vegas car lot.
"This car had 13,200 miles on it and looked in excellent shape," Sepian said. "I asked them if it had been in an accident, and he swore there were no accidents."
However, Sepian later discovered that the car had major structural damage, which the dealer never disclosed.
Consumer attorneys advise caution when buying used cars to avoid costly surprises.
