What Questions Do I Ask When Buying a Used Car?
The most important questions you can ask about a used car revolve around its service history, warranty coverage and general mechanical condition. This means inquiring about common repair and maintenance items and reviewing any paperwork that might validate recent Toyota oil changes and tire rotations. Here are some specific questions you can ask your Toyota sales associate:
- Does the car have a clean Vehicle History Report?
- Are there maintenance records or receipts to verify any prior servicing?
- What safety features and other technologies is the car equipped with?
- Is the vehicle still covered by the factory warranty? If not, is it eligible for an extended warranty?
How Many Miles is Good for a Used Car?
Generally, lower mileage is ideal, as a vehicle that hasn't seen as much road time will usually have less wear and tear compared to a high-mileage car. That said, well-maintained vehicles with higher mileage are often available for a highly competitive price point, making them a great choice if you're looking for a used car under $15,000 or $20,000.
