Looking at Paperwork with a Deal (1).pngA Mercedes-Benz pre-owned car or SUV is still a luxury vehicle with advanced amenities and features. However, the previous owner can have a big impact on the vehicle. We encourage you to avoid these common mistakes we see at Mercedes-Benz of Owings Mills.

Failing to Research First

Everyone has their own list of must-haves out of a vehicle, whether it’s space, fuel efficiency, performance, or just cozy heated seats. Use our inventory filters to shop with your must-haves in mind and make sure you research your favorites.

Neglecting the Vehicle History Report

A solid service history is key to a reliable pre-owned vehicle. Make sure that you review the vehicle’s history report to see its service records, as well as its accident and repair history.

Not Taking a Thorough Test Drive

A test drive shouldn’t be just a quick run around the block. We encourage you to test the vehicle on the highway, if possible, to see how it performs (and sounds) at high speeds. Test it in stop-and-go traffic too.

Avoiding the High-Mileage Cars

We know that high-mileage cars can seem like a risky purchase. However, if the vehicle was well cared for, it can be a better purchase than a low-mileage car with a spotty history.

Only Focusing on Price

It’s easy to get persuaded by the incentives. However, it’s important to look for vehicles that also tick off your must-haves, so you aren’t left with buyer’s remorse.
