Deciding to buy a used Nissan SUV is one of the smartest decisions a driver can make. Used Nissan SUVs are a great option when you need a quality, affordable vehicle. However, there are some things to keep in mind when shopping for used cars, so Tom Wood Nissan is here to help you out. Here’s our guide on what to look for when buying a used vehicle.
A Quick Inspection
Start by taking a close look at the interior and exterior of the vehicle and check for any damage. Be sure to open and close all doors, windows, and the trunk to see that everything works correctly. Also, now is a good time to head inside the vehicle and test the vehicle. When you can go for a drive to see how the vehicle performs, make sure the A/C works and there aren’t any strange sounds or smells.
If you find something amiss, just bring it up to your Tom Wood Nissan dealer. We'll find a solution that works for you.
Check Out the Mileage
Every driver has a different preference when it comes to the mileage of a used Nissan car. So high mileage isn’t necessarily a deal-breaker, just as low mileage isn’t always a sure thing. Instead of taking the mileage as the final indicator, check if the vehicle is in overall good shape, regardless of mileage.
Research the Vehicle’s History
Try to learn as much as you can about the vehicle’s previous history by either asking your used Nissan dealer or by doing your own research. Online sites like CARFAX can give you the rundown when you use the VIN, vehicle identification number, to get a complete report on the vehicle’s past including any accidents.
