Considerations When Buying a Used Jeep Wrangler
If you travel frequently, you may prefer a used Jeep Wrangler with less mileage. However, even vehicles with over 100,000 miles can still last a long time. Check the vehicle history report using the Vehicle Identification Number or VIN. This gives you information such as past ownership, service history, recalls, and title issues. You can commonly get this information free on several sites, including the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Look for Certified Preowned Vehicles around Chico, CA, which means the vehicles must pass inspection before dealers can sell them. A CPO commonly has better mileage than an average used vehicle and is less than five years old. Sometimes, you get extra perks, such as a free maintenance check and roadside assistance.
Reasons to Buy a Used Jeep Wrangler From a Dealer
Unlike a personal seller, a dealer often has financing options, so you don't have to pay all at once. You commonly only need to make a down payment equal to 10%-20% of the vehicle value.
You may also pay less for insurance on a used Jeep Wrangler because the value is lower. In most cases, you only need liability to cover the other driver, but the minimum requirements vary by state. The biggest advantage of buying a used vehicle from a dealer is you get to test drive it before you buy. This way, you know more about what you are getting, so you don't get surprises.
The warranty from the original maker may still apply, which can save you money on repairs. Typical warranties cover repairs for three years but may be longer with extended warranties.
