Buying a pre-owned vehicle doesn’t have to be risky. It’s easy to find a quality pre-owned Mercedes-Benz car at Mercedes-Benz of Annapolis. You just have to avoid these common mistakes.
Not Reading the Vehicle History Report
When you are shopping for pre-owned vehicles, the vehicle history report is key. It’s important to make sure that the vehicle was serviced regularly, so that you know it will last.
Skipping the Test Drive
Even if a vehicle looks good on paper (and in real life), you still need to ensure it performs well. Check to see how the vehicle stops, accelerates, and turns. Listen for unusual sounds and keep an eye out for issues.
Too-Good-To-Be True Prices
Pre-owned vehicle price tags can be persuasive. However, make sure that you are shopping with your needs in mind first, not just looking for the best price. If a vehicle’s price tag seems too good to be true, it probably is.
Only Picking the Low-Mileage Cars
There are certainly advantages to having a vehicle with low mileage, because more miles can lead to more repairs. However, don’t just automatically assume a vehicle is in good condition because of the low odometer reading. Plus, many high-mileage vehicles can still have a lot of good life left.
Avoiding the Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles
Yes, a Certified Pre-Owned Mercedes-Benz vehicle can cost more than a pre-owned one. However, it’s for good reason. CPO vehicles are meticulously inspected and include warranty coverage, giving you priceless peace of mind.
