Before you buy

1. Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
2. Verify brake-assist recall completion and ask about braking symptoms.
3. Confirm the emergency jack recall remedy was completed.
4. Request service records for power train and electrical problems.
5. Open recalls are repaired free at any Buick dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
