What Does a ‘Certified’ Used Car Really Mean?

Certified used cars explained

 

Buying a used car can certainly be frustrating. We’ve all heard horror stories from friends and family that have experienced poor customer service and/or have purchased a horrible car from a less than honest used car dealer.

But buying a used car can still be a good idea financially and a sound investment, and used car dealers Lawrence stress that buying a new car can also be fraught with frustrations. Certified used cars provide the peace of mind that many used car buyers crave. These cars undergo a lengthier inspection process than many other used cars. That’s because the original manufacturer has a say on which cars can carry the “certified” label.

Thanks for sharing! My husband and I recently bought a cadillac in grand rapids and it was wonderful. I am glad we did the research and bought a new car instead of a used car!

This is an interesting article. I am surprised I did not see any Chevy or Ford's on that list of used cars. I just bought a used Ford F150 and I love it. It is in great shape and runs perfectly fine. I think these two makes are great used car options because they are reliable and affordable. It even makes it better that Car Dealerships in South Jersey have a great selection.

Certified used cars are those vehicles which are tested by the expert technicians. And if nothing wrong is found on vehicles, they are considered as certified one.
Couple of months ago, my younger brother bought certified Sienna from http://www.autopartsfair.com/car_dealers/.
Although these vehicles are bit costlier than the conventional used one, but are much reliable than the same.

Used cars can be of many types, certified, non-certified and salvage title. Their prices may also be from high to low, but it is always better to go in for a certified car so that any proceedings can be dealt with easily in the future. Many sites like http://www.automotix.net/bargain_cars.html also link with various used car dealers where customers can choose from exactly what they need.
