How to Find a Car in Minnesota
- 1). Write down a list of features that you are looking for in a car, whether it is a specific make, model or year, or if you are looking for one with low mileage. It could simply be that you have a budget and don't want to go over that budget. These factors will narrow down your search.
- 2). Go online and search for auto dealers in Minnesota. Go to Edmunds and type in your city and state or ZIP Code, and click "Go." A list of dealerships near you will be displayed in a list. You can select the dealerships that are closest and view their inventory online.
- 3). Go to Automotive.com and enter your ZIP Code to search for used vehicles and their specs in the Minnesota area. This will give you a comprehensive list of cars for sale and their specifications, including the price and mileage of the car. You can further specify the make and model you are seeking if you know it.
- 4). Go to the "Classifieds" section of the Star Tribune, a major Minnesota newspaper, and browse the ads from car sellers.
- 5). Contact the dealership or seller once you have decided on a car. Arrange a time and place, if necessary, to take the car for a test drive. Ask for any paperwork on car repairs and a car history report.
- 6). Contact the Minnesota Department of Transportation (see References) to find out how to get your new car licensed and how to transfer ownership title, if necessary.
