At Helfman Alfa Romeo, we inspect pre-owned Alfa Romeo vehicles for mileage, accident history, and more. Talk to our team about how we evaluate pre-owned vehicles today!

Mileage

If you bring your pre-owned car into a dealership for appraisal, one of the first things they’ll look at is the mileage. On average, cars are expected to be driven about 13,000-15,000 miles per year. If your mileage averages out to more than that, you can expect to have your car valued less to make up for the extra depreciation it’s gotten on the road.

Accident History

There are many good reasons to drive safely, and protecting your resale value is one of them. Any accident, even minor ones, will show up on a vehicle history report. Even if the damage has been professionally repaired, some buyers may prefer to only pick cars with clean histories.

Features and Options

Additional features, options, and packages add extra value to your car, making it more valuable when it’s time to trade it in. These packages and options, like the Performance Driving Package and Active Assist Plus Package, also provide more features and thrilling performance while you’re driving the car, making it a win-win.
