Is Mileage or Age More Important for Used Cars?
1 Answers
Both are very important. The higher the mileage of a used vehicle, the more frequently it has been used. The older the vehicle, the more its performance may have declined. When purchasing a used car, it is essential to consider both factors comprehensively and understand the potential costs of future use. It is explicitly prohibited by law to import used cars or their parts for any reason. Below are methods to check if a used car has been in an accident: 1. Check the glass production date: Normally, glass is not replaced, so you can look at the production date of the glass. The date is usually indicated by numbers and dots, with the numbers representing the year and the dots representing the month. 2. Examine the wear on the frame: If the car has been in a major accident, the body frame will show varying degrees of dents and misalignment. Thus, the condition of the frame can indicate whether the car has been in a serious accident. 3. Inspect the screws: Check the screws on the hood, radiator support, and door connections. If any of these screws show abnormalities, it is highly likely that the car has been in a major accident. 4. Review maintenance records: You can check the maintenance records at an authorized 4S shop. Any accident car repaired at a 4S shop will have a system record of the repairs.
