Pre-owned vehicles, like the ones offered by Peruzzi Toyota in Hatfield, PA, are a hot commodity these days for budget-conscious drivers. Of course, you want to get the most for your money, so let’s look at one of the top questions that our knowledgeable sales experts frequently get. That question is, should a buyer consider the mileage on a pre-owned vehicle or its age?
Let’s start with “age.” Generally speaking, the older a vehicle is, the less expensive it will be. However, a newer car or truck will likely be in better condition and thus, could save you money over time on potential repairs. Of course, all of this depends on how well the previous owner(s) cared for it.
Then there’s “mileage.” There’s no hard-and-fast rule about what ideal mileage should be in a pre-owned Toyota. It largely depends on the kind of driving that was done. For instance, if the vehicle was driven in a lot of stop-and-go city traffic, that means more wear and tear on things like brake systems. A car with equal mileage that did mostly easy highway driving will be a better bet.
So, the bottom line is, when it comes to choosing age versus mileage when buying a pre-owned car, it often gets down to “six of one, half-dozen of the other.” The way to crack the code comes down to a qualified team of mechanics and service technicians who will thoroughly inspect that vehicle before offering it for sale. That’s what we do at Peruzzi Toyota in Hatfield; every pre-owned car, truck or SUV on our lot has been given a complete, comprehensive going-over to ensure that you’ll have a reliable (and affordable) vehicle for years to come.
