Why Buy Used vs Certified?

First, let's talk about used cars and why you might want to buy one. The most significant advantage of buying a used car is the diversity of choices. With so many used cars for sale on the market, you will have plenty of makes, models, and body styles to choose from. Regardless of your personal preferences, you'll have many options to consider as you look for a used car. 

Are you a driver on a budget? Buying a used car is also great because you'll have no shortage of budget-friendly options to explore. There are many options for varying price points—for instance, our used inventory under $10K. 

Next, let's discuss what makes a certified pre-owned car different from a traditional used vehicle and why you might want one. Certified pre-owned vehicles undergo testing and a certification process, the exact details of which vary depending on the manufacturer. The Honda Certified Pre-Owned program, for instance, requires all vehicles to undergo an 182-point inspection. 

Let's say you have a young family, and safety is at the top of your list. Maybe you're the type of person who likes to do a lot of research before buying and know what you're in for. You may like buying a certified pre-owned vehicle because you'll have a detailed inspection report to review, giving you ultimate confidence in the car's quality. 

Another certified pre-owned benefit is warranty coverage. The exact details will vary depending on the program, but with Honda, you’ll receive the following: 

• 7-year / 100,000-mile Powertrain Limited Warranty (from the original date of sale) 

• 48-month / 48,000-mile Limited Warranty on models less than three years from their original date of sale 

• 12-month / 12,000-mile Limited Warranty on models purchased after the initial Limited Vehicle Warranty has expired 

Thus, CPO vehicles will work excellently for people focused on safety and reliability. You'll have qualifications and coverage to increase your confidence. 

Ultimately, both used and certified pre-owned vehicles have their benefits, and whether budget friendliness or included coverage is your priority, there are options for you. Our dealership team can help you find a pre-loved vehicle that meets your needs.
