Used Car FAQs
01
How many miles is good for a used car?
Drivers put an average of 12,000 miles on the odometer each year. Using that metric as a baseline, multiply the vehicle’s age by 12,000. While some cars will naturally have more mileage than the national average for vehicles of the same age, these models are still great options if they were well maintained. We have plenty of affordable and low mileage used cars for sale on our lot for recurring and first-time car buyers alike, so stop by today to learn more.
02
Should I buy a used car from a dealership?
Getting a used car from a dealer vs. a private seller can be more streamlined, organized and informative. Not only does our Indiana GMC dealership provide as much vehicle history as possible, but we’ll also be here for service and assistance throughout your ownership experience. We also have auto financing options, so you can pay for your vehicle over time with a competitive car loan.
03
Are used cars worth it?
Yes, used cars are worth buying. One aspect that makes buying a used car a great choice is its slower depreciation. Vehicles depreciate in value quickly for the first two years, so getting the keys to a pre-owned Buick or Chevy means you’re getting a better value.
04
What should I ask when buying a used car?
Important details to ask for when you buy a used vehicle are mileage, previous accidents, service records and battery condition. We recommend taking a test-drive to see how the vehicle handles, which can help guide the questions you have for our used car sales team.
