When you plan to buy anything used, it’s a good idea to first do your research. When something isn’t in pristine condition, you need to know that it will meet your needs and is ultimately worth buying.
If you’re thinking about a used Buick, this guide will help you make a good decision.
Age is Important But…
Obviously, the older something is, the greater the chance that isn’t in the best condition. While you definitely should look at the model year when perusing an inventory, this shouldn’t be the only thing you look at.
Here are two examples why:
1. Younger Car but with High Mileage
Let’s say you’re looking at a 2020 Buick Encore that has 50,000 miles on it. While the age is great, what about the mileage?
When you factor in the average number of miles a driver puts on their car every year – which is around 14,000 – you can see that this car has been driven quite a bit in a short period of time.
2. Older Car but with Lower Mileage
Now, let’s say there’s a 2016 Buick Envision with 75,000 miles. At 12,500 miles per year, that’s below the average. In this case, while the age is older and the miles are higher, it may make more sense to go with the Buick Envision.
Don’t Forget About the History Report
You don’t want to make a decision about a used car without looking at its history report. This will give you a wealth of knowledge about its maintenance, repairs, replacements, and whether it was involved in any accidents.
