Certified pre-owned cars come with many advantages that most used cars don’t. Below are just some of the exceptional benefits that come with certified pre-owned cars.
4 Advantages of Shopping for Certified Pre-Owned Cars
1. Certified Used Cars Have Stringent Inspections
One of the biggest advantages of certified pre-owned cars is that they must pass an extensive manufacturer inspection. In the state of Wisconsin, all used cars sold by a dealer must pass a basic safety inspection. But a certified preowned inspection has much stricter standards.
A service technician, certified by the manufacturer, must inspect the vehicle and any problems that are identified will be corrected by the factory trained technician. Recalls will be completed if any exist per manufacturer guidelines and safety protocols. Any required maintenance necessary will be performed along with necessary replacement parts installed. In the end, you get a safe and reliable vehicle that’s in great condition.
Many of these vehicles have never had any mechanical problems at all. Most commonly, certified
pre-owned vehicles are returned leases or fleet vehicles that were used for a short time, so they tend
to be in good condition already. But the extra level of inspection gives added confidence when you go car shopping.
2. Recent Model Years
Certified pre-owned cars are known for having lower mileage. Certified pre-owned cars are required to be more recent model years and have mileage limits in order to be certified.
Often there is subvented finance rates available from the manufacturer when purchasing a certified pre-owned. This allows you to receive a relatively newer car with lower interest rate options.
3. Certified Cars Come With Detailed Maintenance History
In addition to inspections, certified used vehicles usually have robust maintenance records. These details assist in making a confident purchase. Knowing that your car has been taken care of goes a long way in providing peace of mind that your purchase is going to run great the day you drive it off the lot and for many more miles to come.
When comparing certified pre owned cars to used cars for sale, you’ll see that the certified cars tend to command a higher price. However, that investment is well worth the additional cost based on the condition of the car and the warranty it carries.
4. Certified Cars come with a Manufacturer’s Warranty
Typically certified used cars come with a lengthened warranty from the manufacturer, not the selling dealer. You can also ask your local dealer about extending the warranty even further.
