Why High-Mileage Used Cars Aren’t Always a Bad Choice Anymore

Many buyers see red flags when they look at used cars, particularly if they have high mileage. However, high-mileage cars don't always have to be counted out anymore. We're sharing all the reasons why high-mileage used cars aren't always a bad choice anymore at Gillman Chevrolet Harlingen.

Cars Last Longer

Modern vehicles often have better engineering and quality than older vehicles, so longevity isn't always a concern. Plus, the innovative safety features in new vehicles can help to limit accidents and damage. This can also help to preserve vehicles, as well as improve their lifespans.

Maintenance is the Top Priority

When it comes to a vehicle's reliability, there are things more important than its mileage. In fact, a vehicle's service records is one of the most critical factors. A vehicle that has been maintained according to the manufacturer's recommendations can last well upwards of 100,000 or even 200,000 miles. You can check the vehicle's history report to see how well it was maintained.

They're More Affordable

One of the biggest reasons that buyers consider a used vehicle is their affordability. You'll often save significantly by purchasing a high-mileage used vehicle. Used vehicles avoid the depreciation that comes with a new car, and that savings is passed onto you. Your savings can increase drastically as the mileage climbs.

They Can Still Have Like-New Quality

If you want to buy a pre-owned car with the peace of mind that comes with a new one, consider one of our Certified Pre-Owned Chevy vehicles. These vehicles are meticulously inspected, both inside and out, to make sure that they are high-quality vehicles. They also come with warranty coverage that protects you if an issue should arise.
