Planning maintenance on a vehicle under $13,000

At this budget, many vehicles have passed or are approaching the mileages where certain periodic maintenance items are scheduled by the manufacturer. This is not a sign of wear but a normal stage in a vehicle's life. Understanding it lets you buy knowing what to expect, and choose a vehicle whose milestones have already been met or are easy to plan for.

The periodic maintenance items to know

Depending on the model and mileage, a few items come up regularly in the maintenance schedule:

• Fluids: oil, brake fluid, coolant and, on some transmissions, fluid at defined intervals.
• Wear parts: pads, rotors, tires and wiper blades are replaced over the kilometres.
• The battery: its lifespan depends on use and season.

What the inspection and Carfax reveal about maintenance

The Carfax report included with every vehicle lists recorded servicing and shows which items have already been done. The 160-point inspection performed by our technicians assesses the current condition of wear parts and fluids. Together, these two sources help estimate which maintenance items are recent and which are coming up. An advisor can go through this information with you for a specific vehicle.
