What is a Certified Used Car?
If you want the security and peace of mind of buying a brand-new vehicle but prefer the cost and value of a used vehicle, choosing certified used is the best of both worlds. These used models are low in mileage and guaranteed by the manufacturer to be in like-new condition. They also come with the savings of buying a traditional used car.

What is a Certified Used Car?
With many leases or trade-ins from newer vehicles, car dealerships often end up with an abundance of late-model vehicles that are in great condition. Because these vehicles are low in miles and almost new, manufacturers developed a certification program to provide buyers with the same benefits of buying a new car with the savings of buying used.
We have the option of certified used cars or certified pre-owned cars that come with a multi-point inspection and warranties direct from the manufacturer.
What Does Certification Entail?
Certified used vehicles are late-model vehicles with low mileage and no signs of damage or wear, and many manufacturers require them to be a certain model year to enter the program. From there, these vehicles must pass a rigorous multi-point inspection from manufacturer-trained technicians to ensure that every aspect of the vehicle is up to their high standards. If there are any issues, the vehicle is repaired or restored and given an opportunity to pass the inspection.
In most cases, certified used vehicles have manufacturer warranties like a new vehicle, as well as some additional perks of ownership. These may include roadside assistance, maintenance programs, financing specials, or other benefits.
Certified Used vs Traditional Used Cars
Certified used vehicles may come with a slightly higher cost than a traditional used vehicle, but that’s due to the manufacturer inspection, warranties, perks, and guarantee. You can rest assured that your certified used vehicle is safe, runs well, and is protected.
Still, that’s not to say that you can’t find a perfectly suitable traditional used vehicle. Inspections, vehicle history reports, and other research can help you determine if the vehicle you’re considering is worth your investment, but by choosing certified, all of this legwork is done for you.
