One way to get an affordable and reliable used vehicle is to get a certified used car or truck from its original dealership. Most of these auto dealerships are used car dealers as well and that's where you'll see all there used certified vehicles come back for sale. Most of these dealerships offer some free stuff when you buy one of their certified automobiles. It's usually a free oil change that is set to a certain amount of kilometres you can go to.
Another reason to buy certified vehicles is not just the low price it might be, but the re-assurance that the vehicle is certified by the automakers dealership. Most dealerships let their used car dealers handle the 150-point mechanical and appearance inspection. They do all major systems tests that include tires, suspension, steering, engine, drive train and brakes. If some of the 150-point functions don't meet the standards, then they will be replaced and retested to meet the certified standard.
There are other things that sometimes scare consumers with buying used vehicles like the automobiles history report. The thing that makes people much more at easy when buying a certified used vehicle is you get a complete free vehicle history report from CARFAX. This report will let you know everything such as if the car or suv has been in a flood, fire or a bad accident etc.
Most used car dealers who sell certified used cars or trucks on behalf of the main dealership have great used warranty programs as well. These warranties would include coverage for all components such as engine and transmission, and the power train. These would be covered up to a certain amount of mileage or a certain number of years that the warranty covers.
These are some of the benefits you get with a certified used automobile from its original dealership. They offer more assurances and provide great warranties that you would never get on a basic used car lot.
