We believe safe, capable, and versatile vehicles should be available within your budget, and we carry a wide inventory of pre-owned models for you to pick from. Our Woodbridge, NJ, car dealers are here to answer your pressing questions about which factor is more important when buying a used car: age or mileage.

Vehicle Age

It is important to consider the vehicle’s age when you purchase pre-owned, especially if you like having access to the latest performance, safety, and entertainment features. That said, age can’t tell you as much about a pre-owned model’s history and reliability as other factors can.

Vehicle Mileage

Mileage is much more important to consider when purchasing a pre-owned model at Sansone Auto. Mileage can tell you about how hard the vehicle was driven and how much life the car has left. This will make it easier for you to calculate vehicle value to find a car that meets your needs. 

Number of Owners 

There are a few other factors you’ll want to account for when purchasing a pre-owned vehicle, including the number of previous owners. Fewer owners are preferred since you’ll have a more comprehensive understanding of how well the vehicle was cared for and when auto parts were replaced.

History of Accidents 

Don’t worry if the pre-owned vehicle you like has been in an accident. Many vehicles with an accident history are perfectly safe and comfortable to drive. It’s still important to know about the history, however, in order to better care for your vehicle in the future.

History of Service 

There’s no better way to extend the life of your vehicle than with regular car service. Pre-owned vehicles with more comprehensive service histories will likely be more reliable and longer lasting.
