Looking to buy a used car that will last me. Is this a good car? It has 25k mileage on it.
Almost all cars these days are “good” but not all are backed with the same warranty. So a car is only as good as the warranty that comes with it per say. Hyundai advertising as offering America’s Best Warranty at 10 years/100,000 miles. That is pretty hard to beat. That means the manufacturer is placing odds that the car will last 10 years or 100,000 miles minimal issue.
How long will it last?
How the vehicle is maintained and driven play a large roll in how long it will last. Is the car being taken to the drag strip on the weekend or driven by grandma to the grocery once a week? I think you get the picture. Having the oil changed and the tires rotated on a regular bases will also make a difference. Fortunately this particular car only have 25k miles on it. So it is just now thinking about being broke in. Many more miles left on this one.
Should I buy It?
Most all cars are in pretty good shape with only 25k miles on them. So you may want to focus on what is important other than the obvious shape of the used car. Instead focus on cleanliness, comfort and overall appearance. Usually a nice clean car has been well taken care of and for our hard earned money, that is what want. We also want to be comfortable while driving and not feel like we are cramped up, etc. And of course we all enjoy the “Wow Factor” when looking at our new purchase.
