Used cars can be tricky, but so long as you vet them properly you should be fine.&nbsp;One of the biggest things&nbsp;that people look at is the mileage on a car. A high number seems scary, but is it really?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>How Many Miles Should a Used Car Have?&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s a given that a car is going to have miles on it if you\u2019re going to a used car dealership. Some people might think that a high number automatically disqualifies a car.&nbsp;It\u2019s not&nbsp;as cut and dry as just looking at the number and knowing if it is good or not.&nbsp;It\u2019s a general rule that a car puts on 10,000 to 15,000 miles in a year. So, a 10-year-old car that has 100,000 to 150,000 miles&nbsp;isn\u2019t out of the ordinary. It all comes down to how well a car is taken care of.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>A car with fewer miles, but more drivers and no service record is a bigger risk than a well-maintained car. You should always try to get an accurate history of the car. Regular maintenance helps keep a car running&nbsp;healthily. If a car isn\u2019t regularly serviced, then it\u2019s not going to be in good condition and there might be problems lurking under the surface.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carvillesautomart.com\/blog\/what-speed-saves-the-most-fuel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Does Driving Slower Save Money?
