It’s an age-old question: how many miles are too many? When shopping for a Honda car, we know that not everyone is looking to buy the latest Honda Civic. In fact, for many drivers in the area, we’re looking to get a great offer on a used Honda car.
However, there’s always at least one question that comes along with getting a pre-owned Honda model, how many miles are too many?
Used Car Mileage
So, what’s more important? Mileage or age? Is one more important than the other? The truth of the matter is that both matter. However, the mileage may be more of a factor.
Unlike the year the car was built, mileage and the odometer are really the indicators of how much a car has lived. You could have a car from the ’60s with fewer miles than, say, a 2008 model. Which one is going to be more reliable?
Here at your Bel Air Honda dealership, we tend to put more stock in mileage. With that said, age does matter too. Yet, it’s not as good of an indicator of a vehicle’s longevity.
While cars are more than capable of traveling well over 100,000 miles, a car with 70,000 miles on it versus a vehicle with over 100,000 miles will have drastically different values.
That said, the way a car has added its miles is essential as well. For example, a vehicle that racked up its miles in a city with more stop-and-go traffic will likely have more wear and tear than a vehicle that drives more on the highway.
