Optima Lx Shopping Online

• Examine the Optima Lx yourself using an inspection checklist. You can find a checklist in many of the magazine articles, books and websites that deal with buying used Optima Lxs.
• Test drive the used Optima Lx under varied road conditions - on hills, highways, and in stop-and-go traffic.
• Ask for the car's maintenance record. If the owner doesn't have copies, contact the dealership or repair shop where most of the work was done on the Optima Lx car. They may share their files with you.
• Talk to the previous owner, especially if the present owner is unfamiliar with the car's history.
• Have the used Optima Lx inspected by a mechanic you hire.
