Ford used cars

Have you been checking out your Ford used cars? Let Griffin Ford Fort Atkinson help you on your journey from finding a vehicle you love to drive to finding financing options designed for your individual budgetary needs.

Whether you’ve been purchasing pre-owned vehicles for years or this is your very first ride, we have what you need to make the process as smooth and easy as possible.

What Should I Look For When Purchasing Pre-Owned?

There are many benefits to buying a pre-owned car, but you want to make sure it’s the best model for your driving needs. Here are a few things to consider when taking your next pre-owned vehicle home:

  • What is the Accident History? An accident isn’t necessarily a reason to pass on a great car, but when you know the history in advance, you’ll have an easier time maintaining your pre-owned vehicle.
  • What is the Service Record? The more comprehensive and complete a service history the vehicle has, the more reliable and safer to drive it will be.
  • Is it Safe to Drive Home Today? If work needs to be done on your Ford F-150 or Ford Escape before you take it home, you’ll want to know so you can adjust your budget and make a service appointment.

Is a Low-Mileage Vehicle Worth It?

The short answer is—it depends. While a low-mileage vehicle can stay in the family for a long time to come, it’s not always the best option. Modern vehicles last a long time, which means you don’t need to worry so much about the impact of the mileage.

You may find that a new car with a higher mileage is actually the better choice for your driving needs. No matter what used vehicle you pick, the Ford service center team here at Griffin Ford Fort Atkinson will work hard to keep it safe and reliable. Schedule your next test drive in Fort Atkinson today.
