What to Look for in a Used Chevy Suburban

If you’re in the market for a used Chevy Suburban, you have to know what to look for. This quick guide from the experts at Wilkinson Automotive can give you a few ideas!

A Maintenance History

Cars last longer when they’re well taken care of. If there are maintenance records for the Chevy SUV you’re thinking about buying, that’s a good sign. It means that this used Chevy Suburban model could have a long life ahead of it if you stay committed to proper car care.

Few Signs of Damage

A used car is going to have some signs that it lived a life before you, but you don’t want to be overly permissive about what you’ll accept when you buy used. Some scratches and minor dings are okay, but you might not want a vehicle that shows signs of heavy damage from an accident. You’ll also want to look for signs of rust or corrosion. These can be damaging issues that cause more headaches and financial stress later on.

“Good” Mileage Over “Bad” Mileage

If you can, try to figure out if a used Chevy Suburban has more “good” mileage than “bad.” Good mileage is highway miles, when a car is able to get up to its full potential and smoothly drive without too many interruptions. Bad mileage usually refers to short trips around town, which involves a lot of low speed travel and stopping frequently.

Knowing how an SUV was used can better help you evaluate its condition.
