Very low mileage used cars in dealers?

nexus1 · 21-09-2010 06:30AM #1

I see a couple of 2007 cars in dealers with just 4 to 5 Kmiles. They are priced well below the same model of the same year with a typical say 30Kmiles from other garages.

So would these be any the worst mechanically? I guess it might be better if the engine was run in in the first year with typical driving on the same oil? Thanks!

Some people do tiny mileage. My uncle traded a 08 Passat with 10k km on it at the begining of the year. The car spent more time in his driveway than on the road but he still trades up every 2 or 3 years.

All I will say though is don't automatically assume a low mileage car is a better buy than a higher mileage similar car. Low mileage cars can more than often not be serviced regularly because their owners still get their cars serviced at mileage intervals rather than time intervals. Personally, if you are doing very small mileage your car should still be serviced at least once a year.
