There are many reasons to consider a used Subaru vehicle for the next great adventure. But whether you’re buying or selling a pre-owned Subaru car, it’s useful to know what factors can impact the vehicle’s value. Explore our inventory and trade in your current vehicle at Herb Gordon Subaru today.
Mileage
When it comes to pre-owned vehicles, mileage can actually be more important than age in determining the health and longevity of a vehicle. Mileage provides insight into how hard a vehicle was used, and how much life might be left in the essential parts and systems. Vehicles with lower mileage tend to sell for more.
How Many Owners It Has Had
You always want to look for pre-owned vehicles with fewer previous owners. You’ll have a more comprehensive history of vehicle service and care, and it’s less likely that the vehicle will have been tampered with in order to make it more appealing for sale. This can lead to a higher vehicle value.
History of Accidents and Service
A history of accidents isn’t necessarily a reason to walk away from a vehicle you love. If the accident was small or there were expert repairs made, the vehicle can be as good as new. It’s just useful to know, so you can calculate future repair costs, and because a history of accidents can reduce vehicle value.
On the other hand, a history of comprehensive service and car care can increase the value of the vehicle, because it shows the car was well-maintained and will continue to drive smoothly.
