Quality Guarantees
Used cars come with no particular guarantee to their quality, history, or value. You can easily find older cars on the open market that are highly overvalued despite having mechanical or body issues and no collectible value. Finding a fair price for a specific make and model can take up more time than you think. You’ll also need to take any used cars you find on the open market to a mechanic for a thorough inspection before trusting that it’s reliable. Certified pre-owned cars and trucks are inspected and repaired by our reliable service team, ensuring that you’re getting a high-quality vehicle at a fair price.
Cleaning and Repairs
Speaking of repairs, our Washington PA team gives each certified pre-owned vehicle a 172-point inspection before it’s put up for sale. Here at Bortz Chevrolet, we prepare each certified pre-owned vehicle so it’s like new. Our customers appreciate the extra lengths we go to with cleaning and repairs. You’ll hardly be able to tell you’re driving a used car at all. Used vehicles can come in practically any condition, although all of the used cars and trucks you’ll find here at our dealership are thoroughly cleaned before being put up for sale.
Overall Price
Used cars tend to cost slightly less than certified pre-owned vehicles. They’re both just a fraction of the cost of a brand-new car of the same make and model. The difference between certified and used cars tends to be as little as 3% of the total cost or less. Paying just a few hundred to a few thousand more can pay you back significantly with higher reliability and fewer repairs. Consider that it’s easy to spend thousands on repairing a used car immediately after purchasing it, while the warranty terms on a certified pre-owned car protect you from that kind of spending in most cases.
Reliability
Used cars won’t come with warranty coverage like a new car. Certified pre-owned vehicles usually do include warranty coverage to give you peace of mind. That’s not just a great way to protect yourself from unexpected repair expenses, but it’s also a sign of the higher quality and reliability of a certified pre-owned vehicle. When you’re investing in one of our top-selling Chevy trucks for work or play, you can’t risk having a breakdown in the middle of doing important tasks. Get the best quality by sticking with a certified pre-owned model.
