New cars give consumers a sense of reliability because they are backed by a manufacturer’s warranty insuring the consumer against any defaults in the vehicle. Unfortunately, most consumers cannot afford the price tag or hefty down payment associated with a new car. Used cars are certainly more affordable but buyers must be aware of the inherent risks. Consumers who buy used cars are not privy to the prior service records of the car or the amount of maintenance the previous owner provided.

Would you like the dependableness of a new vehicle but the lower price of a used vehicle?

Then a certified used vehicle, also referred to as a factory certified pre-owned vehicle, will give you the benefits of both. The biggest benefit of a certified used vehicle is the warranty. The warranty on a certified used vehicle is backed by the original manufacturer. Before a car becomes a part of the certified used car program, it must endure a 100 point inspection by the dealer to determine that it is suitable for coverage.

Often, the warranty you receive with a certified used car gives you more coverage than you would have had with a new car. Because of these strict standards, certified cars are usually no more than 5 years old and have less than 80,000 miles. Lastly, certified used vehicles do not have the same rapid rate of depreciation of new cars.

How do you make sure you are getting a factory certified used car? If you’re looking for your dream car factory certified used cars have warranties backed by the original car manufacturer.

• If you are buying a Toyota and the warranty is not through Toyota then it is not factory certified.

• Additionally, most certified used cars cover expenses for out of town breakdowns.

• Ask to see a copy of the inspection report and the written warranty on the vehicle. Ask the dealer if there are any deductions associated with the warranty.

• Remember the factory certification is the dealer’s way of standing behind the product and assuring the consumer that even though the car is not new it is still of superior quality.

Beware of dealers who offer used cars with an extended warranty or service contract through a third party. Some dealers will try to pass these cars off as certified. Do not be fooled; these are not truly certified and probably haven’t been subjected to the same stringent tests as factory certified used vehicles. Additionally, many third party providers require you to pay for the repairs first and then send in the receipts for reimbursement. You have very few remedies if the third party goes out of business.

Certified used cars come with many new car benefits.

For instance, your car will be serviced at the dealer which means access to a service loan car, roadside assistance, and shuttle service. Also like a new car, most factory certified used cars can be financed through special low interest offers.

For low price and dependability, a factory certified used car is the ideal choice.
