Automakers are making used vehicles to appear fancier to car buyers. Don’t be surprised if you end up purchasing a new one instead of a used one? Chances are you’ll be staring at one of the new kinds of used car, which has an automaker warranty, and vehicle inspection.
These vehicles are labeled as “certified” used car. About a decade ago, car manufacturers were introducing programs to sell certified used vehicles. These programs were not as appealing until recently, buyers decided to give it a try. They prefer to save the money on other things, and give the option a chance. In fact, it is very similar to purchasing a new car.
These certified used vehicles are used, lower-mileage, late model vehicles that have been inspected by the dealership’s service department. These vehicles do have some type of auto manufacturer warrant for a length of time. Moreover, some of these vehicles do have a roadside assistance programs. Manufacturers such as Jaguar, Honda, and Acura provide a vehicle history report, as well. With these services, consumers are increasing in the market. Certified used vehicles are a way of saving the time to purchase a brand new vehicle.
GM’s certified program offers a bumper to bumper warranty of three months/3000 miles coverage. Their certification guarantee allows you to return it with three days/150 miles for exchange of their money back. Jaguar has the best program for certified luxury cars for 4 years. According to IntelliChoice Inc, which analyzes the certified used programs, state that Jaguar provides coverage for up to six years/100,000 miles from the car’s original in service date. Jaguar also provides a 24 hour roadside assistance during the period.
Other top luxury certified used car programs are Cadillac,Lexus,and Audi, Muscle.Volkswagen’s certified used car program is ranked top in the non-luxury for the first time.Volkswagen’s experience a 112-point mechanical and appearance inspection, a title check, and are recondition to new status.The program also provides 24-hour roadside assistance.
Other manufacturers such as Mercedes Benz are beginning to show interest in their certified used car program. Other car makers joined in too, and have updated their programs to suit consumers. Before entering the certified used car program, all cars must be inspected before receiving the “certified” car label. Dealers decide which cars on their parking lot need to be certified.
