What to check before you buy
Estimate your yearly mileage, expected sale date and any seasonal downtime. Check whether the agreement’s maintenance requirements depend on time as well as mileage and whether the repair locations fit where you keep the vehicle.
Work through your own numbers
At 2,500 miles a year, a 24-month term covers about 5,000 miles of your expected use before the calendar limit. Compare the full quoted price over those two years.
