Get More Miles from Used Toyota Cars

Posted: Jan 12, 2011 |

Used Toyota cars are very popular in South Africa's second hand car market, as they are known to be reliable and give you years of service.

But you will have to look after your car properly in order to ensure that it will remain in a good condition. A few things are important if you want your car to last for years to come.

First of all, when you do look at used Toyota cars, do insist on seeing the previous owner's service history. Check that the car has been regularly serviced according to the set service plan.

When the car goes for a service, the mechanic will check that everything is working properly. He will therefore be able to pick up any possible malfunctions that the car has. Often the car might have a minor error, like a tiny oil leak, that you might not even be aware of. But if it is not picked up early, the tiny leak could become a much bigger leak, which in the long run could become harder and harder to fix.

For the same reason you should continue to have the car regularly serviced by a trusted mechanic once you've bought it.

Always listen out for strange or new noises or squeaks that your car is making. It might just be something small, but it is worth taking the car to your mechanic to have it checked out, and fixed if necessary.

Other tips to consider if you want to get more miles from used Toyota cars:

  • When there is a scratch on the car, get it fixed sooner rather than later. This will help to prevent rust damage.
  • Regularly check that the oil, water, brake fluid and power steering fluid is at a safe level.
  • Before getting into the car, walk around the car and check that none of the tyres have deflated.
