We understand that there can be risks when buying used cars. However, knowing what you are buying can give you the peace of mind you need.
We’re highlighting the things to look for from a used car at Mike Toler.
How Many Miles is Too Many?
No two vehicles are alike, which is why we can’t predict what the lifespan of a used car, truck, or SUV will be. On average, they say a driver drives their vehicle approximately 12,000 to 15,000 miles a year.
It’s a good idea to see how that compares with the age of the vehicle you are eyeing.
Are Used Cars with Low Mileage Better?
When you are looking at a used car, a low-mileage vehicle isn’t necessarily better. After all, a vehicle that has been well cared for would be much more reliable than one that has not.
It’s important to look at a used car’s vehicle history report to see how a vehicle has been cared for.
- If it’s been involved in an accident
- The repairs it has received
- How many owners the vehicle has had
- If it was used for personal or commercial use
How Can I Increase My Car’s Lifespan?
One of the best ways to get the most out of your used vehicle is to ensure it gets routine maintenance. In fact, we believe so much in the importance of maintenance that we provide it for free.
Each new or pre-owned vehicle we sell comes with two years of free routine maintenance, including four lube oil and filter changes and two tire rotations.
