What is a Certified Used Vehicle?
A Certified Used Vehicle is a vehicle that has undergone a detailed inspection and safety testing process by a manufacturer-certified technician before being offered for sale. It must meet certain criteria, including age and mileage, but these may vary from one brand to another. In addition, this type of vehicle comes with various advantages for the buyer, such as warranty and service. In short, it's a guarantee of quality, value and peace of mind - the assurance that you've made a better choice.
Enhanced Warranty
A certified pre-owned vehicle is sold with a manufacturer's warranty that goes beyond that of non-certified models. This warranty is honored at all dealerships across the country and can be extended to suit the buyer's needs.
Quality Inspection
Before being put back on the market, each certified pre-owned vehicle undergoes a rigorous inspection of more than 100 points (mechanics, brakes, suspension, bodywork, interior, etc.) as well as road tests. The vehicle is then reconditioned by specially trained technicians. In short, a used vehicle sold like new.
Preferred financing
Financing can make a big difference in the calculation. Preferred options and rates come with certified pre-owned vehicles, which translates into greater savings for the buyer.
History Report
Knowing the history of a used vehicle is important and that is why the dealer will provide the buyer with a report on the maintenance history, accidents, claims and outstanding safety recalls. This document allows the buyer to make a more informed decision.
Roadside Assistance
No one is immune to a bump on the road. The added value and peace of mind of a Certified Pre-Owned vehicle extends to the road with a roadside assistance service offered for a specified period of time. The vehicle will be repaired on site or towed to the nearest dealer.
Exclusive Privileges
The purchaser of a Certified Pre-Owned vehicle can be offered privileges such as free maintenance, access to online services or the possibility of exchanging the vehicle within days of purchase if it does not meet expectations.
These vehicles are typically considered by consumers who want the peace of mind, reliability and safety associated with a new vehicle, but also the savings associated with a used vehicle.
