There's a lot more to getting a good deal on a used Volkswagen Jetta S 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 Volkswagen Jetta S.
Used Volkswagen Jetta S cars are typically less expensive, but have more risk associated with buying. You should take the pre-owned Volkswagen Jetta S 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" Volkswagen Jetta S, and is definitely worth the money.

When purchasing a used Volkswagen Jetta S 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 Volkswagen Jetta S. 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 Volkswagen Jetta S brakes. While driving the Volkswagen Jetta S 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 Volkswagen Jetta S.
The Volkswagen Jetta S tires. Check the tread for depth of wear, the tire sizes for matching, and for any other obvious damage. All the used Volkswagen Jetta S 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 Volkswagen Jetta S car has an automatic transmission, check the transmission fluid to see if it is dark colored or has a burned odor.
