Buying A Used Car-How Many KM Are Okay

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 ต.ค. 2024
  • In this video, I talk about buying a used car. I tell you the significance that the number of kilometers (or miles) represents with regards to the quality of the used vehicle. The truth of the matter is that the odometer reading is just a number to use as a gauge, but the real way to tell whether or not a used car is likely going to be a good purchase is to do a full inspection. I also give you some tips with regards to figuring out how long you want the car to last, and using that number to guide your purchase.

    Average is 20,000km per year. So once i decide on a car i do that math and it helps me decide. Your other advice is sound as well. Match up the km to the condition of car. You can also google the recomended maintenance schedule for the car your thinking of and look at was has been done or has to be done at what km’s

    Just because his voice is naturally loud, doesn't mean he's yelling. I don't find anything wrong with his voice and his speeches sound educational. If you think this is yelling then you've never been yelled at in your life and you don't even know what it sounds like when someone REALLY yells at you, stop being so entitled

      Agreed. Modern cars with normal use, even as much as taxi use, run normally significantly more. For example toyota camrys in NYC are used as yellow cabs may go up to 250 thousand miles. Thats 400 thousand kilometers.

    Gentleman as you said, the driven feeling of the car cosmetically can be very much enhanced to make sure you take your feelings on the top and take the worst decision of your life to have that car in your garage. Not much impressed as not many innocent people know the tactics used by the car Market about the car feeling stuff mate.

      Kind of irreverent if you’re getting a high mile car and you’re a low mile driver. I don’t even do 10k Kms per year I can take a 4 year old car with 100km and it won’t have 160 at 10 years old.
