THE BENEFITS OF BUYING CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED BUICK AND GMC VEHICLES

When buying a pre-owned vehicle from a dealership, many important factors must be considered. Who was the previous owner? Are there any mechanical issues that I should be aware of? How do I know if this used vehicle will be reliable? It can seem scary, but when you shop at a dealership that specializes in certified pre-owned vehicles, you can guarantee that the car, truck or SUV you’re purchasing will be well taken care of and ready for you to drive for many years!

But what is a certified pre-owned vehicle, and why should you buy one over any other used car? Here are four reasons to choose a certified pre-owned vehicle from McLarty Daniel Buick GMC in Bentonville, Arkansas when purchasing used.

THOROUGH INSPECTION AND RECONDITIONING

Certified pre-owned vehicles aren’t just any used vehicle; they undergo rigorous testing and inspections to ensure they are in tip-top shape before being sold to a customer. When a vehicle undergoes certified pre-owned, or CPO, inspection, major components are inspected to ensure they are running correctly. These parts include the engine, transmission, tires, battery, and brakes. The inspection usually occurs pre-sale before the vehicle ever reaches our lot.

The CPO process can also include exterior and interior inspections to clean the vehicle and verify there’s no significant damage anywhere on the vehicle, such as a significant paint scratch, a major dent, or interior seating damage. Reconditioning, or retuning, of engine and transmission components happens at this stage as well to fine-tune every part of the vehicle and take all the steps necessary to be certain it’s ready for sale.

WARRANTY COVERAGE

Another benefit of a CPO vehicle is added warranty coverage that you can’t get from most used vehicles. When new cars reach a specific mileage or number of years since the purchase date, they typically lose their manufacturer’s warranty. So when you buy non-CPO vehicles, chances are they’re no longer covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.

However, with CPO vehicles, warranties can be extended or renewed. These warranties are typically backed by the manufacturer and can include powertrain and bumper-to-bumper coverage. Additionally, you can ask for a free vehicle history report from the dealership to see the car’s history and if any major repairs were made to it. The warranty coverage you get from a CPO can provide peace of mind, like buying a new car! You can always check with us, or any other dealership, to see what warranties they offer with their CPO vehicles; you might be surprised at how much they cover!

BETTER FINANCING OPTIONS

When you buy a CPO, you get better financing options than buying a non-certified pre-owned vehicle. You always have the option to negotiate the price and financing options with your salesperson, but CPO vehicles often have more favorable starting terms anyway.

When you shop at McLarty Daniel Buick GMC in Bentonville, Arkansas, you can guarantee you’re already starting with the best deal on the market!

PEACE OF MIND

Finally, buying a CPO vehicle offers you the opportunity to experience something that money can’t buy: peace of mind. When you buy CPO, you know you’re getting a vehicle that has undergone rigorous testing and inspections. We don’t sell a CPO vehicle that isn’t guaranteed to be thoroughly tested and approved! The combination of a thorough inspection, warranty, and additional benefits provides you with greater confidence in the reliability and quality of the vehicle you’re purchasing.
