There are many benefits to picking out a pre-owned Mazda vehicle. When you purchase a pre-owned vehicle, you’ll have access to big savings and a wider range of available models. But you want to make sure it’s the right pre-owned vehicle for your driving needs.
Here are just a few things to check when it comes time to buy pre-owned.
Mileage
The mileage on a pre-owned vehicle can tell you more about how it was driven than the age alone. While high mileage isn’t necessarily a deal breaker, it’s important to look at how hard the vehicle was pushed, and to account for potential service needs associated with high mileage.
Service History
The more you know about a vehicle’s service history, the better. A comprehensive history of Mazda service is a good indication that the vehicle was well cared for and properly maintained, which means peace of mind on every drive.
Accident History
You also want to look into any history of vehicle accidents, as well. As with mileage, accidents aren’t necessarily a hard no, but any history of accidents will need to be factored into your budget, for potential future repair needs.
Corrosion Inspection
Before you begin the test drive process, you want to peek at the rust-prone parts of the car, like the fenders and wheel wells. Other damage and wear are relatively easy to fix, but it’s best to walk away from rust.
