What Should I Look For When Buying a High-Mileage Pre-Owned Car?
Purchasing a pre-owned vehicle has many advantages, but you want to make sure it’s the best pre-owned vehicle for you. Here are a few things to keep in mind when test-driving high-mileage pre-owned vehicles:
- Exterior Condition: Not all damage is a deal breaker, but you still want to be aware of damage before you purchase a vehicle. If you notice signs of rust or corrosion, move onto the next pre-owned vehicle option.
- Starting, Stopping, and Steering: It’s always important to make sure the vehicle drives, brakes, and responds the way it’s supposed to. Pay attention to how it turns over, how responsive it is when you take corners and turns, and how quickly it brakes.
- Interior Features: You want to make sure the interior features function properly as well. Check out audio system connectivity, lights, and command center options.
- Tires: A pre-owned vehicle’s tires can tell you a lot about how the car was driven and what kind of condition it’s in. Look for signs of uneven wear, damage, bubbling, and more, to determine if a vehicle is the right used car for you.
