If you’re on the search for a used VW, look no further than Heritage Volkswagen Catonsville. We believe that sporty, safe, and capable vehicles should be available at any budget, and purchasing pre-owned is a wonderful way to save on the next car or SUV. Here are just a few things you’ll want to look for in pre-owned vehicles.
Signs of Corrosion
A history of damage or accidents isn’t necessarily a dealbreaker, but you do want to keep an eye out for rust or corrosion. Rust can be difficult, if not impossible, to repair, so it’s best to move onto the next ride.
That said, we thoroughly inspect every model before they ever reach our lot, so we doubt rust or decay will be an issue.
Tire Condition
The tires on a vehicle can provide a lot of information about how that vehicle was driven and how well the car was maintained. If your tires look poorly cared for, or as if they have been damaged in extreme driving conditions, replacing them is an additional cost to consider.
Mileage
While the age of a vehicle can give you some insight into its condition, mileage is typically a more important detail. Some pre-owned vehicles are only a few years old but have a high mileage, whereas older cars may have lower mileage. Mileage can tell you how hard the vehicle was driven and give you an idea of what kind of service and repairs the car will need.
Vehicle Service History
It’s also important to look at how well the car was maintained. A comprehensive VW service history can improve the value of the vehicle, since service helps to keep a car running like new. Always look at both the service and accident history before purchasing a pre-owned vehicle.
