We hear questions from used car buyers in Solon, Cleveland, and Hudson, OH, every day. We've put some of the most Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) here on this page, so you can get the answers you need.
How Many Miles Should Be on a Used Car?
The odometer is one of the first things to catch your eye when you step inside a used car. How many miles does it have on it? Is that too many? Modern vehicles are built to last. When cared for properly, even vehicles with high mileage can perform well for years to come.
There's no straightforward answer to the question, how many miles should be on a used car? Mileage is relative to age. The average driver covers about 12,000 miles a year. That means:
- 3-year-old vehicles will have about 36,000 miles
- A 6-year-old vehicle should have about 72,000 miles
- 9-year-old used cars could have over 100,000 miles
If you have your eye on an older used car, it may actually be better to see more miles on the odometer. That means the vehicle has likely been serviced properly. It may even have had a few major components replaced, so it will serve you well for years to come.
Can You Get Service Records From a Dealer?
It's easy to secure vehicle service records from a reputable used car dealer like ours. The pre-owned vehicles on our lot come with a CARFAX® Vehicle History Report™. It will give you more information about things like:
Service records- Reported accidents
- Registration information
- Title history, and much more
Service recordsService records are key to making sure previous owners kept up with the vehicle's manufacturer-recommended maintenance schedule. If they did, you'll have the confidence that comes with a dependable used car that will serve you well for years to come.
Our dealership can help you get service records whether you're shopping online or here in our showroom. Online, you can click on the CARFAX® symbol next to your favorite used car, and you'll have its service records right in the palm of your hand.
What Is Certified Pre-Owned?
Certified pre-owned vehicles are a special kind of used car backed by the manufacturer. For example, certified pre-owned Land Rover SUVs must pass a 165-point inspection before qualifying for the program.
Land Rover Certified Pre-Owned cars must be less than five years old, and they must have fewer than 60,000 miles on the odometer. They'll have plenty of life left by the time you get behind the wheel.
A 1-year/unlimited mileage or 2-year/100,000‑mile limited warranty comes with all certified pre-owned Land Rover vehicles.1 It may help cover the cost of some repairs, so you'll have more peace of mind when you hit the road.
