We highly recommend choosing vehicles with a Run & Drive Verified status. However, if you have experience in repairing vehicles with more significant damage, you may consider exploring all available options.

Cars with mileage below 100,000 km are typically in good technical condition, with minimal wear on critical components like the engine and transmission. Choosing a vehicle with lower mileage can help you avoid major repairs and reduce future maintenance costs.

When considering such options, it is essential to exercise caution and thoroughly assess potential repair costs. We strongly recommend obtaining a detailed condition report on the vehicle or contacting Autoplatforma specialists for consultation to evaluate all potential risks before purchasing.
