The odometer is probably the first thing you check on a used car you’re thinking about buying. So, do most of our Harrisonville customers. Why? It’s likely because you want a used car with good mileage on it. But what is good mileage on a used car? We want you to make an informed buying decision. So, let’s talk about what constitutes good mileage for a used car, and then apply for financing today.
What qualifies as good mileage for a used car often depends on how old it is. A good rule of thumb is that a car should accumulate no more than 12,000 to 15,000 miles in a year. That means if a car is five years old, it should have no more than 60,000 to 75,000 miles on the odometer. If it has more than that, the car has likely gone through a lot of wear and tear in a short amount of time.
To determine what is good mileage for a used car, you need to find out how those miles were put on the car. Everything from driving conditions to maintenance history can impact the condition of the vehicle and whether it’s worth purchasing. Here are some things to take into consideration when you’re shopping for a used car:
