Have you been considering buying a pre-owned BMW at Fields BMW Northfield? There are a few extra criteria to keep in mind when shopping for a pre-owned model. To start, you want to ensure you are getting a reliable vehicle that you can count on.
Check the Vehicle History Report
One of the best ways to know if a pre-owned vehicle is reliable is to know how it was cared for by its previous owner. Routine maintenance is crucial in keeping a vehicle in like-new condition and making sure it will stay that way for years to come. When you review a vehicle history report, you can see the vehicle’s service history. You can also see if it was in an accident and if it got all the repairs it needed.
Take a Test Drive
Test drives are an important part of car research. How do you feel behind the wheel? Do you have the space you want? Plenty of legroom? Does it have the acceleration you want? Do you feel comfortable navigating it? There are a few extra questions to keep in mind when buying a pre-owned vehicle, including:
- Does it still have the features you want?
- Does it perform like-new?
- Do you notice any unusual wear and tear?
Consider a Certified Pre-Owned BMW
