Used Or Certified Pre-Owned: Which is Right For You?
Who Kia of Cape Coral Is and Why It's a Preferred Car Dealership in Cape Coral
If you're a Cape Coral driver who has made the decision to pursue a vehicle “new to you,” but at something other than new car prices, going the route of used or certified pre-owned is an incredibly popular option.
But, nearly as important as what you buy is who you buy from. With an enviable reputation steeped in customer loyalty, comfort and satisfaction, Kia of Cape Coral is that “who” for many area drivers.
Certainly, with our objective being to keep the lights on, so to speak, our need and desire is to sell vehicles and services. But, it's about more than that. Part of achieving comfort and trust in potential customers is to inform and educate.
That's precisely the intent of these next few sections. With gray areas for many potential car buyers on the pros and cons of used and certified pre-owned, it's important to go in with good clarity. To help you determine what may be the best choice for you, learn about the differences below. We then encourage you to visit Kia of Cape Coral to check out our large inventory of both.
Why Certified Pre-Owned Over Used
When it comes to the certified pre-owned vs used car decision, many drivers find better peace of mind going the cpo route from Kia of Cape Coral. And, here's why:
- Late models
- Low miles
- Subject to extensive 164-point check
- Includes industry-leading 10-year/100,000-mile Certified Pre-Owned Limited Powertrain Warranty
- 12 months/12,000 miles Platinum Comprehensive Coverage, Travel Breakdown Coverage and Roadside Assistance
- Vehicle History Report included
While cpo used cars do cost more upfront than used vehicles, with those kinds of perks, you're likely to spend less on maintenance and repair as you make your way down the road with it. Keep in mind, cpo vehicles are like new in all ways but one; price. Certified pre-owned vehicles run much lower than anything new.
When a Traditional Used Car vs Certified Pre-Owned Makes Best Sense
For a number of perfectly understandable reasons, some drivers routinely find all they want and need from used vehicles. The biggest, and most obvious, reason for that is cost. You pay a fraction of the cost of a new vehicle.
Other alluring qualities to used include:
- Less depreciation. While a new vehicle begins to lose its value the moment it leaves the car lot. A used car, on the other hand, loses its worth at a much slower rate. To many, that's taken as a better investment
- Lower insurance rates
- Good chance for included car warranty. Since many used cars remain under some sort of limited or extended factory warranty, you could expect added coverage there
- More options and bigger selections. Since new vehicles are tied to just the most recent model year, pre-owned cars of interest could be from any number of previous and model years
While the car-buying list of perks from cpo programs and non-cpo programs cannot be disputed either way, the choice boils down to one factor; you. When you need a helping hand keeping the used or cpo vehicle in peak performance, count on the Kia of Cape Coral service center. You can learn more about that in the last section below.
