What's the Best Mileage to Sell My Car?
What's the Best Mileage to Sell My Car in San Antonio?
The second or third year of ownership can generally be seen as a great time to sell your vehicle. The worth of a pre-owned car at the time of selling comes down to reliability and mileage.
Reliability mainly relates to the level of maintenance and attention the car has received before it’s sold. Later, the optimal mileage to advertise a car at a lucrative price tends to fall between the second and fourth year of ownership.
While Gunn Auto Buying Center can offer you a great price for your used car at any point in time, we also have you covered with these prominent car sale milestones below that you should consider before selling your car.
Your Vehicle’s First 25,000-40,000 Miles
Many major auto brands provide some type of comprehensive maintenance warranty that covers anywhere from the first 25,000 up to 40,000 miles. After that point, heavier maintenance services are usually required. If you’re able to sell your vehicle before this major maintenance milestone, the more you’ll probably be able to get for it.
Your Car’s 60,000-70,000 Mile Mark
At this mileage point, most manufacturer powertrain warranties will expire–this timeframe usually corresponds to the second major service interval. If you can sell before this point, you’ll most likely be able to get more than you would if you service it and exceed the powertrain warranty period.
90,000-100,000+ Miles
At this point, your maintenance attention could be 100% optimal and your vehicle could be riding as smoothly and strongly as ever. However, many individuals who don’t understand how much more maintenance prolongs auto life might scoff at a reasonably priced model that has 90,000+ miles on it.
That’s where we come in. We can tell if you’ve cared properly for your vehicle and we won’t discriminate against its mileage if we see that it’s in great condition.
