Buying Certified Pre-Owned vs. Used Cars

Are you thinking about buying a certified pre-owned or used vehicle in Richmond, VA? There are quite a few factors that you'll want to consider during the process. But don't worry. We've got all of the details for you right here in this comparison between buying certified pre-owned vs. buying used in Richmond.  

Used Vehicle Benefits

First off, let's talk about the overall benefits of buying used. Buying a used car is an excellent way to save some money when looking to purchase a vehicle. It allows you to avoid paying the premium price and avoid the steep depreciation many brand new vehicles are prone to when driven off the lot. But those aren't the only benefits:

• Not only will you not pay the premium you'd pay on buying a new car, but you'll save on interest since the overall price of the vehicle is lower.
• This means you'll enjoy lower monthly payments.
• You might even make out with a few extra features you wouldn't otherwise have been able to afford. 

 Non Certified Used Vehicles Negatives

Ford Certified Pre-Owned Program & Positives

When you decide to purchase a certified pre-owned Ford vehicle you minimize many of the negatives mentioned above, because all Ford Certified Pre-Owned vehicles come with:

• A 12-month/12,000-mile Comprehensive Limited Warranty 
• A seven-year/100,000-mile Powertrain Limited Warranty. 

In addition to the ease you'll feel knowing that your vehicle will be covered under an amazing warranty, you'll have confidence in knowing that your vehicle is in good working order. Why? Because each of the Ford Certified Pre-Owned vehicle:

•  Has gone through and passed a 172-point inspection performed by a factory-trained technician. 
• If the vehicle doesn't meet the program standards, it will be reconditioned using Ford Authorized Replacement Parts or new Ford Motorcraft parts. So you know you're getting the best.
• Each Ford Certified Pre-Owned vehicle comes with a vehicle history report, which will tell you all about the history of your Ford vehicle.

Should anything ever happen, not to fear because:

• You'll also get roadside assistance for the duration of the vehicle's Limited Warranty that covers expense reimbursement, destination expense assistance, and rental car reimbursement in the event of a breakdown, blowout, or bad weather.
