Don’t feel like you’re rolling the dice on a possible lemon when you decide to buy a used vehicle. Instead, look for a certified pre-owned vehicle in Las Vegas at Valley AutoMall, which is the next best thing to buying new.
- Only the Best Used Cars Qualify
No matter the manufacturer, when a vehicle is listed as certified pre-owned, you can rest assured it is the best of the best in terms of used vehicles. Only a select few qualify to be called certified pre-owned. It must meet certain criteria for mileage and vehicle history. If it has too many miles on it when it is traded in, or it doesn’t have a clean history, it can’t be called certified pre-owned.
- Inspection and Reconditioning
Before a dealer can list a used car in Las Vegas as a certified pre-owned vehicle, it must pass a rigorous inspection process. What is examined varies from manufacturer to manufacturer, but on average, a certified pre-owned vehicle must pass 100 to 200 separate inspection points before it passes.
Certified pre-owned vehicles also go through an extensive reconditioning process to get them ready for sale. Because of the extra attention the vehicle is given, many certified pre-owned cars come with better warranty terms than your typical used vehicle. Manufacturers and dealers can offer better terms because certified pre-owned vehicles that go through this process are the crème de la crème, and are expected to perform better than other trade-ins.
- Financing
A certified pre-owned vehicle can often cost a little more than another used vehicle of the same make, model and production year. That’s because they are in much better condition, ready to serve you for many miles down the road. Certified pre-owned vehicles still retail for less than new vehicles, and the difference in price over a standard used vehicle represents the better investment a certified pre-owned vehicle represents.
The trade-off to slightly higher sticker prices comes in available financing terms. Our dealers are able to negotiate better financing terms for you because of the certified pre-owned designation. Lower finance rates negate the difference in price for a used car in Las Vegas, indicative of the expectation it will be on the road much longer.
