There's a lot more to getting a good deal on a used Chevrolet Suburban than simply negotiating with the car dealer or private seller. Being prepared, and doing your research and homework can all translate into money saved in the end on your pre-owned Chevrolet Suburban.
Used Chevrolet Suburban cars are typically less expensive, but have more risk associated with buying. You should take the pre-owned Chevrolet Suburban car you would like to buy into a garage for a mechanic to give it a diagnostic check prior to paying for it. This check will prevent you from purchasing a "lemon" Chevrolet Suburban, and is definitely worth the money.

When purchasing a used Chevrolet Suburban car it's best to have a mechanic look at it. If you don't want to spend the extra money on the mechanic, check it yourself.
Make sure everything works in the used Chevrolet Suburban. Radio, heater, windshield wipers, cigarette lighter, rear window defogger, and horn. Test the headlights, taillights, flashers, backup lights, brake lights, turn signals, and parking lights. Check for proper seatbelt operation.
The Chevrolet Suburban brakes. While driving the Chevrolet Suburban cars at 30 to 40 mph, being certain there is no one behind you, apply the brakes three or four times. If you get a consistent pull, either left or right, while the brakes are being applied, there is a problem with the pre-owned Chevrolet Suburban.
The Chevrolet Suburban tires. Check the tread for depth of wear, the tire sizes for matching, and for any other obvious damage. All the used Chevrolet Suburban car tires should be evenly worn. Uneven wear could mean neglect, abuse, improper wheel alignment or bent front-end components.
Under the hood. Check all hoses. Examine the battery for leaks, and check the oil dipstick. If the used Chevrolet Suburban car has an automatic transmission, check the transmission fluid to see if it is dark colored or has a burned odor.
