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. Request proof of brake-assist recall completion.
3. Verify that the emergency jack received the recall remedy.
4. Ask about engine, shifting, or fuel-system symptoms and related repairs.
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.
