Buying Guide | Pre-Owned Vehicles

Today's cars are of higher quality, they last longer and are more reliable.  Leasing continues to increase in the popularity, resulting in a huge inventory of two- or four-year-old cars, trucks, and SUVs.  Many of these cares are in excellent condition with low mileage and some portion of the factory warranty remaining!  

 The automotive industry as a whole is changing for the better, not surprisingly so are the ways consumers shop for and purchase vehicles.  

• One emerging method is the manufacturer-certified used-car program at new-car dealers. 
• Another is used-car superstores. Rental-car companies sell much of their inventory directly to consumers for attractive prices.

Certified Pre-Owned programs provide customers with an extended warranty on the engine and drivetrain that is actually continued protection by the factory and is honored at any of that manufacturer's dealers. 

While surfing the Net, shoppers might paddle over to the eBay wave. Buying a car sight-unseen is counter to everything we've all been taught, but as online shoppers have gained confidence in eBay's process and business practices, they've bought more cars, and more mainstream cars, via the online auction: Last year, eBay moved nearly one million vehicles, most offered for sale by dealers.

eBay puts a one-year limited warranty on cars sold on its site and will buy back any car that's misrepresented. Extended warranties are also available for a fee, and professional inspectors can examine potential purchases for buyers before they commit.

Is a Certified Car Right for Me?

It’s always a good idea to research a brand’s CPO program to make an informed judgment. Most companies make an inventory search available on their website that will allow for quick comparison shopping. The warranty that comes with a CPO car can help allay the fear of purchasing a used / pre-owned vehicle.

The used-car marketplace will continue to evolve toward emulating the experience of buying new.

The Automotive Car Dealer Why Choose Them?

 

 

Top 5 Reasons to Use a Car Dealership for Your Service and Repair Needs.

1.  Trained Techs:
     Unlike most independent auto service facilities, dealership technicians are specifically trained
     on specific vehicle makes and models, making them intimately familiar with how that car
     works.

2.  Factory Parts:
     While most aftermarket auto parts are high quality, to be absolutely certain you're getting the
     best parts for your car, it makes sense to use the same parts the factory uses-- or the same
     parts your dealership uses, in other words.

3.  Recall/TSB Information:
     While automakers are required to mail out information about vehicle recalls, dealership
     generally have the latest information about the recall.  Plus, dealerships are privy to
     technical service bulletins (TSBs) from automakers, giving their technicians knowledge
     about specific problems or issues a vehicle might be having.

4.  Diagnostic and Repair Equipment:
     Auto dealerships are required to have the latest and most up-to-date diagnostic and repair 
     equipment to service vehicles.  It is rare to hear a dealership explain that they do not have the
     parts or equipment to service even the newest vehicle models.          

5.  Customer Satisfaction:
      Ever wonder why dealerships are so concerned about ensuring their service customers
     "happiness" They have to be.  Factories require dealerships to maintain minimum customer
      service scores in order to be considered for special programs and, in some cases, to even

      keep their franchise

Deer Mating Season Is Here:

Fall means a substantial increase in deer-to-vehicle collisions.  These accidents can cause serious injury and damage.

According to a leading insurer, such collisions have risen more than 20% since 2008. For the last four years.   Each year, collisions with deer kill about 200 people, and the average cost of damage is $3,103. Deer accidents occur most frequently between 6 p.m. and 9 p.m., but herds are also very active in the early morning. 

Remember that deer typically travel in groups, so if you see one, there’s a very good chance more will pop out. It’s mating season, so bucks will be more aggressive than usual. If you should strike a deer, keep in mind that they can be dangerous, especially when injured.

A collision with a deer is covered by auto insurance provided you have comprehensive or, other-than Collision auto coverage. In an effort to save on insurance costs many people have cancelled their comprehensive insurance.  Be sure to check your policy and give your insurance company a call and protect yourself and add the coverage if needed.
