When you buy a used Mazda car or SUV, you can get all the style and performance you expect from a new Mazda vehicle, but without the high sticker price. That’s just one of the many perks of buying a pre-owned vehicle. We recommend you look out for these indicators of quality when buying a used vehicle from Woodhouse Mazda.
A Complete Service History
For a vehicle to be as efficient as it can be, it needs to be maintained regularly. Every vehicle has a recommended maintenance schedule, detailed by the manufacturer in the owner’s manual. We encourage you to review the vehicle’s history report to check its service history and make sure its previous owners kept up with regular maintenance.
A Thorough Inspection
Even if the vehicle has a complete service history, it’s still important to have it inspected by a professional. Our trained technicians always carefully review every detail of a vehicle before it goes on our lot, both inside and out. We make sure that everything is working properly and there are no signs of unusual wear.
A Rock-Solid Test Drive
Next, it’s important that you make sure the vehicle meets all of your needs. You want to take a test drive to check the vehicle’s condition as well as make sure that it is indeed the vehicle for you.
A few things to watch for include:
- Does it feel too crowded inside?
- Is it missing some of your favorite features?
- Is the acceleration sluggish?
- Does it make knocking or grinding noises?
- Does it have too much wear and tear?
- Are the tires bald or worn?
