If you’re thinking about buying a pre-owned BMW sedan or SUV, don’t take the decision lightly. Here are three areas you’ll want to focus on before making a decision.
Know What “High-Mileage” Means to You
When it comes to mileage, sometimes it’s in the eye of the beholder. What’s considered "high mileage" for one person might be different for someone else.
If a car has 100,000 miles on it, for example, that may seem high, but if the car is a decade old, it’s really not. These days, vehicles can typically last a lot longer than they used to, so this is something to keep in mind.
Think About Average Miles Driven
A car with 100,000 miles on it may immediately turn you off, but it shouldn’t automatically. If it is 10 years old, that 10,000-mile per year average is actually pretty low.
The average number of miles driven yearly is around 14,000. If a vehicle were to have well over 150,000 miles, then you may want to steer clear of it.
Look at the History Report
You don’t want to buy any sort of pre-owned vehicle without knowing as much about it as possible. This is where the history report can be valuable.
?You’ll be able to learn about service and maintenance, replacement parts, and whether a vehicle was involved in any accidents. Knowing how a car was treated by previous owners can give you a glimpse into its longevity.
