Q: Hello! Planning to go for 2015 Chrysler 200 preowned, please advise.

asked by on December 15, 2016

Hello my friend, Me & my wife had test driven a 2015 Chrysler 200 yesterday. We liked the ride a lot. However we had some concerns (which i had listed below) can you advise please.

  1. Though its a 2015 vehicle, it has enough mileage on it 44k. Is that good? Our plan is to drive for 2 yrs & change it. In the next 2 yrs l, will this vehicle push me to pay more on maintenance?

  2. There were two recalls, both were electronic related. However on the showroom they say its fixed. Of course its a certified preowned. Is that a good sign? Please advise.

Many Thanks...Paval
