Has the underbody been checked for rust, and are there any open safety recalls?

Older cars in salt-belt states can hide frame and brake-line corrosion. Open recalls are fixed free at a franchised dealer, but you need the VIN to check.

What is the out-the-door price in writing, including the doc fee, taxes, title and any add-ons?

The advertised price is rarely what you pay. An itemized out-the-door quote exposes doc fees and pre-installed add-ons before you negotiate.

What reconditioning was done before listing, and is there a recent inspection or Carfax report?

Dealers inspect and repair trade-ins to different standards. Ask what was replaced, what was left alone and whether the state inspection is current.

Is the title clean, and has it had any reported accidents or more than one owner?

A branded title or prior accident lowers what the car is worth and what a lender will finance, regardless of how it looks today.

Who am I dealing with?

Used Cars of Baltimore listed this 2012 Nissan Altima and sets the price. FMYCAR is a marketplace, not a dealer: it takes no commission and never sits between you and the seller. You buy from Used Cars of Baltimore directly.

What does FMYCAR charge me?

Nothing. Browsing, messaging the seller and the free car-buying guides cost you nothing. The only paid things on FMYCAR are optional: a $249 Deal Review or a $499 Full Concierge, when you want a person to check the numbers before you sign.

What happens after I send a message?

It goes to Used Cars of Baltimore with your name and contact details, and FMYCAR keeps a copy. Used Cars of Baltimore replies to you directly by phone, text or email.

Why check the deal before signing?

The listed price is rarely the whole price: doc fees, add-ons, the financing terms and the trade number are decided at the desk. A $249 Deal Review reads the paperwork line by line before you sign, paid only by you.
