Test driving may be the best part of the whole vehicle-shopping process, but it can be easy to miss signs that a vehicle is not what it seems. When test driving used Lincoln cars, there are certain things you're going to want to keep an eye out for. To help you get the most out of your next test drive, here are three things to pay attention to throughout the cabin.
Check the Mileage
Mileage is something to consider when shopping used, but well-maintained vehicles can easily last for hundreds of thousands of miles nowadays.
That said, the odometer can still be a good indicator of how much longer a vehicle has on the road. Make sure to consider mileage alongside the current state of the model and its history of maintenance.
Examine the Electronics
Take some time to twiddle with the buttons and knobs on the dashboard, making sure that everything is in good working order and is easy to access from behind the wheel. You want to try every feature over the course of the test drive, so make sure to take your time with this step.
Listen For Strange Noises
Take the vehicle around a route you know well so that you can pay close attention to the vehicle as it travels. After turning the ignition, listen to how the vehicle idles, and listen to see if you notice any change in the sound when you put it in gear.
So now that you know exactly how to go about test driving a potential purchase, it's time to put your skills to the test.
