Frequently Asked Questions
How do I sort your used inventory?
Begin with the search filters on our used car page, where you can search by type, year, make, model and keywords. We also provide some options for shoppers who have something specific in mind: a Low Mileage Vehicles page with inventory under 20K miles, a Priced Under 10K page, and a Certified Pre-Owned inventory that has been inspected and is still covered by a warranty. Select which of those might be most important to you, and go from there. Or, call our sales department at 605-886-8081, and we can help you find your perfect match.
Sedan, Crossover, SUV, or Truck: Which Is Best for Life near Watertown?
Start with your week. Sedan-compact, parking-friendly, fuel-efficient for running to the grocery store, running to work, running to South Dakota State. Crossover/SUV-more room to stretch out; more room for gear and kids; more all-wheel drive for those icy snow days; more relaxing trips to Brookings or Aberdeen. Pickup-when you’re throwing things in the bed; hauling lumber; towing a boat or trailer; working outside. Every body style has its advantages and disadvantages in terms of size, fuel economy, and price, so there’s no one right answer. Describe how you drive and we’ll help you compare a few.
What costs should I plan for besides the vehicle price?
The sticker price is only part of the picture. Plan for taxes, title, and registration fees, which vary, plus insurance, fuel, and routine maintenance like oil changes and tires. Older or higher-mileage vehicles may also need repairs sooner, so a small cushion helps. Use our Payment Calculator to see how down payment and loan length change a monthly payment, keeping in mind the results are estimates. Our team at Sharp Automotive Group in Watertown can walk through the full picture with you so there are no surprises at signing.
How often does your used inventory change, and how do I avoid missing a vehicle?
Our used inventory changes often as vehicles sell and new ones arrive, so a listing you like today may not last. Check back regularly, and use the save feature on our site to keep the vehicles you’re considering in one place. If something catches your eye, call us at 605-886-8081 before you drive in to confirm it’s still on the lot and ask your questions. If you’re serious about a specific vehicle, ask our team what options are available, since availability can change quickly.
What should I be aware of during the test drive?
Make sure to have ample time, and vary the drive route; drive around town, stop a few times, and go on the highway. You want to pay attention to strange sounds, check for pulling or vibrations, and check the brakes, heating and air conditioning system, windows, and touchscreen functionality. Don’t forget to check how comfortable the seats are and whether you have good visibility, since you will be spending a lot of time sitting there. A cold start would be useful, too, considering freezing morning temperatures in South Dakota. Contact our salespeople to arrange for a test drive.
