The Advantages of a Certified Car

Most dealerships offer tempting second-hand vehicles. There's plenty to choose from, and the quality is top-notch. But precisely because quality is paramount, it's best to opt for certified pre-owned vehicles. All certification procedures are managed by the manufacturers. And the least we can say is that this option is highly advantageous for buyers. Peace of mind, personal satisfaction and a good deal - that's what it's all about. To get you started, let's take a closer look at why certified pre-owned cars are so attractive.

1 - Inspection complète

All pre-owned vehicles offered for sale by your local dealer undergo a full inspection beforehand. This has been done to reduce the risks associated with buying a used car. The certification label ensures that customers receive a top car in terms of safety and reliability. The car passes a rigorous electrical, mechanical and electronic inspection to be certified. The engine, gearbox, cooling systems, lighting, brakes, steering, suspension, starter circuit, air conditioning... all have to be checked. The bodywork, passenger compartment and underbody must also be thoroughly explored to ensure there is no damage. Once the inspection is complete, the vehicle undergoes a final test, this time on the road, to assess its capabilities.

2 - Extended warranty

Certified pre-owned vehicles sold by dealers are often no more than 6 years old. It's up to the brand, but generally, the buyer benefits from a minimum 2-year contractual warranty. For some models in particular, the warranty period may even exceed this limit. The engine, gearbox and safety devices are usually covered. On the other hand, some used cars are still covered by the original manufacturer's warranty. This will remain valid until its expiry date. Other dealers offer more comprehensive coverage, with additional warranties tailored to the local market. The best thing about these warranties is that they remain valid throughout the manufacturer's network.

3 - Guaranteed Traceability

Buying a used car from a private individual or an underground garage is not safe. If you're lucky, you may come across an uncertified but functional car. But you'll be in a lot of trouble when the vehicle breaks down due to a lack of professional inspection. You'll be sorry you didn't choose a certified pre-owned vehicle. It's legit! The sale is transparent, the history is complete. This includes all interventions (maintenance, repairs...) carried out on the vehicle, papers, liens, a history report and more.

What more is there to say?

Certified pre-owned vehicles from Edmundston Honda  are great bargains. You'll find a quality, reliable car with a transparent history. Their price is a tiny bit higher than that for which a non-certified car is offered. Opting for this choice will give you the same satisfaction as with a new car.
