At Gandrud Chrysler Dodge Jeep® RAM, we carry more than just new Jeep vehicles, but we also have an array of quality used Jeep SUVs to choose from. Jeep vehicles are famous for their power, durability, and ability in different terrain. Finding one that fits your needs and lifestyle isn’t as difficult as you think.
We’ve created a list of questions to ask when looking at used Jeep SUVs with the professionals at our Green Bay Jeep dealership.
What is the mileage?
Of course, it’s always good to find a used vehicle with the lowest number of miles possible.
But while you may think a low mileage number is all you should be concerned with, the road conditions the Jeep SUV has traveled are also crucial. Checking the state of the undercarriage will be a good indicator of how long the Jeep vehicle has spent on rough terrain.
Does it have any modifications?
Ask your sales professional to tell you about modifications made by the previous owners. You may decide to keep or change them or choose to add more customizations. Remember that a Jeep that’s been altered may cost more than one with fewer modifications.
What is the mechanical condition?
While cosmetic damage is usually easy to see, problems under the hood can be hidden. Examining the state of the engine is essential to get an indication of the overall mechanical condition of the Jeep. Check the engine’s behavior when it’s running — any loud or noticeable ticking should be a red flag. Also, the dealership should have a record of any vehicle recall and maintenance service.
Once the engine is checked, ask for a test drive to get a feel of the transmission. It should be a smooth and precise transmission. Any noticeable creaks will be a worry when going off-roading.
