When it comes to buying a pre-owned Toyota car, the decision often comes down to two factors, the mileage of the vehicle and its age. In general, the older the car is, the less expensive it will be, and the more miles it has, the less expensive it will be. But which factor is more important when determining the quality of a pre-owned car? The dealers at MotorWorld Toyota explain.
Pre-Owned Car Mileage
Buyers that visit our dealership often ask us about the ideal mileage for a pre-owned Toyota car. At the end of the day, there’s no hard-and-fast answer to this question. Some miles weigh harder on an automobile than others. For instance, if the vehicle did a lot of stop-and-go driving in the city, it’s likely that it experienced more wear and tear on its brake system than a vehicle that drove mostly on the highway.
Pre-Owned Car Age
When you’re buying a pre-owned Toyota car, the age of the car should merit consideration. Pre-owned cars that are newer may be more likely to provide you with long-lasting and reliable service. For the best quality and newest pre-owned cars on our lot, shop our selection in the Certified Pre-Owned Toyota inventory.
Maintenance Considerations
All in all, mileage and age play an equal role when determining the quality of a pre-owned car. However, in the opinion of our mechanics, how well the previous owner maintained the car plays a bigger role than both. If the car received regular maintenance and timely repairs throughout its life, it can last you a long time even if it is older and has a lot of miles on it.
