What Is a Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle

If you are looking for a used car, you have probably come across the term "certified used vehicle". If you are wondering about this, this article may be able to help you. Let's take a closer look at what a certified pre-owned vehicle is.

The Benefits of a Certified Pre-Owned Program

For starters, it's important to note that vehicle certification programs don't come from dealerships, but from manufacturers. Each manufacturer offers its own certification program for its used cars and SUVs, which can be found at its dealerships.

The purpose of these certification programs is to ensure the reliability and quality of the used cars offered by the manufacturer's retailers. They also help provide buyers with greater peace of mind. They offer much the same elements, but they always differ from one manufacturer to another. It is therefore important to do our research and compare.

For starters, all certification programs offer a full inspection. This inspection affects several points of the vehicle, from the interior to the mechanics, and the inspection often also includes a test drive. The purpose of the inspection is to detect possible problems before putting the vehicle for sale.

So when you see a "100 point" or "195 point" inspection, we are talking about the number of items inspected on the car.

More affordable financing options

In addition to inspection, the majority of used vehicle certification programs also offer promotional interest rates. These rates are much more attractive than what is usually found on non-certified pre-owned vehicles.
Second, certified pre-owned vehicles offer several extended warranties that vary in length or mileage. What is certain is that it is possible to durably protect your used car and thus ensure greater peace of mind with certified used vehicles.

In short, with a certified pre-owned vehicle, we obtain several elements that ensure the reliability of our new purchase and make it more affordable. We can offer you all of these services at Montreal West Motors. Come today to find out more!
