Do you feel yourself being swayed by the prices of used cars? We don’t blame you! A used vehicle can be a smart financial decision for any buyer – as long as you are getting a vehicle you can trust. Keep these factors in mind when shopping for a used vehicle from Cook Mazda.
Has the Vehicle Received Regular Maintenance?
Maintenance doesn’t just keep your vehicle running smoothly. It can actually help increase the lifespan of your vehicle. We put our vehicles through a lot every day – whether by driving in extreme weather, on rough terrains, or even over the occasional curb or pothole. Think of auto maintenance as the extra TLC your vehicle needs to make up for it.
Was the Vehicle Inspected?
A used vehicle inspection should be meticulous, looking at every last detail of the vehicle. Rest assured, this is something our trained and certified Mazda technicians always complete before listing a vehicle on our lot. We look at everything including the vehicle’s powertrain, drivetrain, heating and cooling systems, cosmetic condition, and more.
Does the Model Year and Mileage Align?
It’s also important to consider the age of the vehicle. Typically, drivers add approximately 12,000 to 15,000 miles to their odometer every year. So, even if the vehicle is only a few years old, but has excessive mileage on it, the vehicle could have been driven quite frequently and stretched the limits of maintenance and care. On the other hand, vehicles rarely driven can show different types of concerns.
When in doubt, it’s always best to check with an expert on a used vehicle you are considering. When shopping at our Mazda dealership in Aberdeen, MD, you can be confident you’re getting a vehicle you can trust!
