When you’re looking for a premium family-friendly vehicle, you can’t go wrong with a pre-owned Mazda CX-9. The three-row SUV is safe, spacious, and comfortable. You just need to keep a few extra precautions in mind when purchasing a pre-owned vehicle, which we’re outlining at Heritage Mazda Catonsville.
Review the Vehicle History Report
Even the best-looking low-mileage vehicles aren’t the best option for you if they haven’t been serviced regularly. We encourage you to review the vehicle’s history report, which can show you the vehicle’s service records. Plus, you can see how many previous owners the vehicle has had, any accidents it was involved in, and any open recalls.
Check the Cosmetic Condition
While minor scratches or dings are trivial to many drivers, a vehicle with serious cosmetic issues is typically one you want to avoid. If the vehicle has major dents or cracks, they may not have gotten the necessary repairs after an accident. Even rust or corrosion could be a sign that that the previous owner didn’t follow the recommended maintenance schedule.
Put It Through a Variety of Tests
When you test drive a vehicle, particularly a pre-owned vehicle, it’s important that you don’t just take a quick lap around the block. We recommend testing it on a highway, if possible, to see how it accelerates and performs at high speeds. You should also see how comfortable you feel navigating it in and out of parking spaces and in stop-and-go traffic.
