3. Is mileage more important than age, or is age more important than mileage when purchasing a used car? 

“I'd have to go with lower mileage, even if it's a little bit older.”

4. Is it true that it’s cheaper to buy a car with cash? 

“No. Cash isn't king anymore. That's not how it works anymore. Because as a dealership you’d rather do a finance section, we don't do a lot of cash. We always approach our consumers from a financial affordability suitability point of view.”
