1. What is the optimal mileage to look at?
Optimal mileage can vary depending on the make, model, and maintenance history of a preloved car. However, as a general guideline, many buyers consider preloved cars with mileage ranging between 30,000 to 60,000 kilometres. Cars within this mileage range often strike a balance between reliability and potential longevity.
2. Can I trade in my car if I still owe money on it?
Yes, it’s possible to trade in your car even if you still owe money on it. However, the trade-in process can be complicated because you must pay off the remaining loan balance before completing the transaction. Weelee and other dealerships may offer assistance in navigating the trade-in process, including assessing the outstanding loan amount and facilitating the transfer of ownership.
3. Will I need to get new tyres?
The need for new tyres largely depends on the condition of the tyres on the preloved car you’re considering. During the inspection process, assess the tread depth and overall condition of the tyres. If they show signs of excessive wear or damage, you may need to budget for replacement tyres. Weelee may offer insights into the condition of the tyres and advise accordingly.
4. Is it a big deal if a car comes without a full-service history?
While having a full-service history is preferable, the absence of one doesn’t necessarily indicate that the car is unreliable. However, a complete service history provides valuable insights into the car’s maintenance and upkeep over time.
5. Can I go on a test drive?
Yes, absolutely! Going on a test drive is crucial in the preloved car buying process. It allows you to assess the car’s performance, handling, and overall condition firsthand. Weelee and other trusted sellers usually suggest that buyers schedule test drives to make sure the vehicle meets their needs.
