Are you considering purchasing a pre-owned Cadillac car near Orange Park, FL? Buying a pre-owned vehicle is not too different from buying a new automobile. To help you out, here are three useful tips for acquiring a pre-owned automobile at our dealership.
1. Look at the Odometer
It’s not a deal-breaker if a pre-owned car has a bit more mileage in relation to its year of release. This is especially so if it’s a Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) model that has undergone a multi-point inspection.
Nevertheless, some buyers prefer mileage to fall on the lower end. The average commuter drives about 10,000 miles per year. If a vehicle is five years old, then it may be considered a high-mileage car if it has more than 50,000 miles on the odometer.
2. Check the History Report
Carfax® and AutoCheck are the two main vehicle history report services. It’s highly recommended that a pre-owned car has a history report unless you’re buying from a trusted friend or family member.
If the history report reveals a salvage title, meaning it was declared a total loss by the insurance, then stay away. A history report also yields useful information regarding past ownership and maintenance.
3. Make a List of Desired Models and Trims
Make a list of the models you’re considering, like the Cadillac CT5 or Cadillac Escalade. One benefit of buying a pre-owned model is that you can also factor in higher trim options, which may be out of your budget in a current-year model. You also have additional options, such as year and choosing between CPO and non-CPO vehicles.
