Drivers can enjoy many benefits when purchasing a used Subaru vehicle. But how do you know which car is right for you? At Herb Gordon Subaru, we’re sharing a closer look at the factors to consider when buying pre-owned, like mileage and age.
Vehicle Age
Age is an important factor to look at when you buy a pre-owned vehicle, especially if you want the latest in safety and entertainment technology. Subaru vehicles are designed to last, however, so you can consider a vehicle that’s a little older, but still running great.
Vehicle Mileage
Compared to age, the vehicle’s mileage can tell you a lot more about how hard the car was driven and how much life it has left. For example, if a vehicle is only a few years old but there are a lot of miles on it, you may find yourself replacing essential parts and systems, or even the vehicle itself, sooner than expected. Overall mileage is typically more important than age when determining a vehicle’s condition and lifespan.
Additional Factors to Consider
Age and mileage aren’t the only things to look at. Here are some other factors you may want to take into account:
Vehicle’s Service History
One of the first things to look at is the vehicle’s service history. The more comprehensive the history is, the safer and more reliable the vehicle will be, and the longer it will remain in your family.
Number of Owners
The fewer owners a pre-owned vehicle has, the better. With fewer owners, it’s more likely that the service and accident history is accurate, and less likely that the vehicle has been tampered with to make it more appealing for sale.
