When it comes to used cars for sale in Virginia Beach, most drivers are looking at two main factors when they start their search: model and mileage. And while most drivers come to us already knowing what model they want, our used car dealers get a lot of questions about mileage.
They want to know, "what is good mileage for a used car?" The truth is that there is no one answer to that question, but the experts at your RAM, Dodge, Jeep, and Chrysler dealership have a few tips to help!
Used Car Mileage
Mileage isn’t the only thing that can tell you about a Jeep SUV or Dodge car’s history, but it’s an important start. Here’s some things to consider when it comes to used car mileage:
- Most drivers average around 12,000 mile on a used car. So, if a car is three years old, 36,000 miles would be pretty average.
- Consider the service schedule for a vehicle. There are a lot of “milestones” where parts should be examined, repaired, or replaced based on the mileage, so you’ll want to ask about those.
- High mileage isn’t a deal-breaker. In fact, you might be able to find a good deal! For high-mileage models, be sure to dive even deeper into the vehicle history. How has it been maintained? What problems has it encountered with those miles? Which parts have been replaced, and how recently?
- Consider number of owners! If a vehicle has had only one owner, the chances are high that it was maintained more consistently than a car, truck, or SUV with several previous owners.
