Shopping for a Used Car

Buying a used vehicle can be a great way to find the features and capabilities you want while staying within your budget. When comparing used vehicles, consider mileage, condition, maintenance history, ownership history, available vehicle history information, and the features that matter most to you.

What should I look for when buying a used car?

Consider the vehicle's overall condition, mileage, maintenance history, ownership history, features, and vehicle history report. A test drive and professional inspection can also help you make a more informed decision.

How many miles is too many on a used vehicle?

There is no single mileage number that makes a used vehicle a good or bad choice. Maintenance history, vehicle condition, age, and how the vehicle was driven can all be important factors. A well-maintained higher-mileage vehicle may still be a good option.

What's the difference between used and certified pre-owned?

A certified pre-owned vehicle is a used vehicle that meets specific manufacturer requirements and goes through a manufacturer certification process. CPO vehicles may also include additional manufacturer-backed warranty benefits. Coverage and requirements vary by brand.

Is a one-owner vehicle better?

A one-owner vehicle can be appealing because it may have a simpler ownership history. However, the vehicle's maintenance records, condition, mileage, and history are also important factors when evaluating a used car.

Should I buy AWD for Ohio winters?

All-wheel drive can provide additional traction in certain driving conditions and can be useful for Ohio drivers who regularly encounter snow and slippery roads. Tires, road conditions, and driving habits are also important factors in winter performance.

What are the benefits of buying a low-mileage used vehicle?

A low-mileage used vehicle may have less wear and tear and can offer many of the benefits of buying used while providing additional remaining vehicle life. However, mileage is only one factor to consider, so be sure to also review the vehicle's age, condition, maintenance history, and vehicle history.
