Tips to Help You Choose a Great Car for Your Teen

Your teen has their driver's license in Cary, NC, and now it's time to pick out their first car. While this sounds simple enough, the truth is there are a lot of variables that go into making a solid choice for a teen's first car. At Johnson Subaru of Cary, we want to help you navigate these variables successfully so that both you and your teen end up happy.

One thing to consider when looking at any vehicle is the vehicle's service history. If the car was serviced at a reputable vehicle service center, all of the service records should be on the vehicle history report. If a vehicle was regularly serviced, there's a better chance that it will be reliable, thus reducing the risk your teen will end up stranded on the side of the road.

It's also a great idea to check the crash test ratings of the vehicles you're considering. While you don't want to have to take advantage of a vehicle's crash safety features, it's great to know they're there. The two major crash test agencies have ratings that go back several years so that you can check on pre-owned vehicles with ease.
