When you’re shopping for a used Volkswagen model, you need to know what factors to look for. Specifically, you need to determine what features are important and what you should look at when examining the vehicle. Learn what to look for when buying a used Volkswagen model at Patrick Volkswagen.
Mileage and Age
One of the best ways to know whether a pre-owned vehicle is right for you is by checking the mileage and age. Mileage helps you determine how much the vehicle has been used, which (combined with service history) lets you know how well it’s been maintained. The vehicle’s age is also an indicator of upkeep, but also whether newer features are available on the specific model.
Solid Upkeep and Maintenance Records
Every pre-owned vehicle in our inventory will have maintenance and ownership records on file. When you test-drive a model, feel free to ask us about previous owners and what services have been done on the model recently. This will help you understand how well the vehicle has been maintained over the past few years.
Performance and Handling
You should always test-drive a used Volkswagen model before you take it off the lot. That’s the only way you’ll truly know how the model handles, especially if you’re not used to the model line. Performance can sometimes vary on the same model as pre-owned vehicles, so you should start the engine and test the acceleration, braking, and steering before you buy.
