What's the difference between used and certified pre-owned?
A used car is one that has had at least one previous owner and can be any age. A used car will usually only offer the remainder of the manufacturer's warranty, if it still applies.
A certified pre-owned car or CPO is usually not more than 5-7 years old and is backed by the manufacturer. These vehicles are put through rigorous, multi-point inspections by trained technicians, and come with an extended warranty. The complete inspection of a CPO results in the replacement or repair of any damaged or worn parts before the car is certified and offered up for sale.
Do I need to get my car serviced even if I'm not driving as often?
Your vehicle may be spending a lot more time in the driveway these days, delaying a mileage milestone that illuminates a service reminder light. While maintenance recommendations are often based on mileage or time, it’s important to consider that right now the suggested schedules could look a little different.
Idle vehicles can suffer from dead batteries, stale gas and flat tires, which can lead to bigger, more costly issues down the road. Staying on top your maintenance routines will keep your vehicle in tip-top shape for when you’re ready to hit the open road.
What's the difference between an electric car and a hybrid vehicle?
Conventional hybrids (HEV) are primarily gas-powered cars that use electric motors to help out the internal combustion engine.
Plug-in hybrids (PHEV) have a battery-powered electric motor that can function independently with enough range for a daily commute. The also have a conventional gas engine to extend the vehicle’s range.
Battery electric vehicles (BEV) are powered solely by a battery and electric motor.
Fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV) use compressed hydrogen gas for fuel. When hydrogen is combined with air in the vehicle’s fuel cell, electricity is created and used to power the car’s electric motor.
Can you lease a used car?
Traditionally, used and certified pre owned cars aren't leased like new cars but depending on the manufacturer, you may be able to availability depending on the current programs. Usually used cars are bought outright or financed but used car leases may provide you with a short term alternative compared to long-term ownership if your vehicle leasing needs may change.
What is good mileage for a used car?
When looking for a used or certified pre-owned vehicle, you may be wondering what the used car mileage range is that you should be using to narrow down your search. The best mileage for used cars really depends on your needs. Average used car mileage ranges from 8,000 to 15,000 miles per year the car has been driven. Keep in mind that some used car mileage can be much higher, or much lower depending on the previous owner. Consider the car's service and maintenance history, coupled with its mileage to make the best decision on a used or certified pre-owned car for you and your family.
Do dealerships register cars for you?
This is a good question. The answer all depends on which state the car is purchased in. In some states the buyer will need to take care of the registration outside the purchase of the vehicle, while in other states the dealership pays the registration on the buyer’s behalf as it is factored in as total cost of the vehicle. In the latter instance, the dealer registers the new car at the point of sale and forwards the information onto the DMV. In this scenario, it typically it takes about three weeks for the buyer to receive their registration in the mail.
