Auto Buyer's Guide – Car Smart Of St Cloud

Shopping for a vehicle at Car Smart Of St Cloud in St Cloud, Minnesota? Follow these steps to buy with confidence.

  1. 1

    Pull the vehicle history report

    Run a CARFAX or AutoCheck report using the VIN before you visit. Look for accident history, odometer rollbacks, and title brands like salvage or flood. Ask Car Smart Of St Cloud if a report is available for any listing.

  2. 2

    Take a thorough test drive

    Drive on both city streets and the highway. Accelerate hard. Brake firmly. Listen for any clunks, vibrations, or warning lights. Test the AC, heat, and all electronics during the drive.

  3. 3

    Inspect for hidden wear

    Check for uneven panel gaps, mismatched paint, or overspray — signs of past bodywork. Push on each corner of the car to test the shocks. Look underneath for frame damage, fluid leaks, or rust.

  4. 4

    Get a pre-purchase inspection

    Have a trusted mechanic inspect any used vehicle before you buy. A $100–$150 PPI can uncover issues that save you thousands. Ask Car Smart Of St Cloud if a third-party inspection is permitted.

  5. 5

    Negotiate the out-the-door price

    Focus on the total out-the-door price, not the monthly payment. Understand every fee on the sales contract before signing. Dealer add-ons like paint protection and VIN etching are negotiable at Car Smart Of St Cloud.

I bought a jeep for 10k. I had test drove it a few blocks and everything seemed fine. On the drive home (just over 20 miles) a check engine light came on. The transmission and o2 sensor had set it off. The repair shop replaced the transmission and sensor for 5k. When I asked how did this happen it was because 1.) I am a fool. 2.) The dealership knew and cleared the warning lights hoping for someone like me. This wiped me out. I would have still bought A car from the place... I needed one. But I didn't need to buy something they knew was dying. This was a devastating hit for me. It shouldn't have happened. I informed the dealership of the transmission the 2nd day I owned it. His reply was "when are you picking up your license plates". The warning lights were CLEARED. The dealership said they had looked at it, but transmission was on its last miles. The sensor had been going off and was cleared so I wouldn't know.

I highly recommend this dealership! I’ve been looking for about a week and a half for cars, I’ve been to more than 5 different places looking for the right car. I found a few I liked but when I went to carsmart I found a car within the first 10 minutes it was perfect and a nice price! Dave is hands down one of the best people you could buy a car from! I love this place and I will only buy cars from here. I’ve had no issues with my vehicle and it’s amazing!

Dave is a great guy to work with! Very professional and knows his stuff. Very personable and easy to talk to. You won't be disappointed when you stop by his lot. If he doesn't have it, he will keep an eye out for you. I highly recommend him and his business.

Dave provides the highest levels of customer service and professionalism. I've come to him on numerous occasions and he truly believes the customer should be the focus. In February of 2021, I needed a new battery in the midst of a -20F storm and he made it happen even though his shop was very busy at the time.
