MAZDA Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles vs. Used Cars

When you visit Med Center Mazda to purchase a pre-owned vehicle, one of your biggest decisions will be whether to buy a regular used car or a Mazda Certified Pre-Owned car. Here at our dealership, we understand that this can be a difficult decision to make, as both options offer advantages. This is an overview of the differences between these two pre-owned car options.

Vehicle Age and Quality

One of the biggest differences between standard used cars and Mazda Certified Pre-Owned vehicles is their age and quality. The standard used car inventory here at Med Center Mazda consists of vehicles of varying ages and with varying types of histories.

On the other hand, only the best-maintained late-model vehicles make the Mazda Certified Pre-Owned vehicle cut. To be eligible for the program, they must pass a rigorous 160-point inspection. From major to minor components, each vehicle is scrutinized and tested to make sure that it meets the highest standards set by Mazda. The extra level of quality typically comes at an extra cost, as Mazda Certified Pre-Owned vehicles tend to be more expensive than standard used cars at our dealership.

Warranty and Additional Benefits

While the warranty options on standard used cars can vary, every Mazda Certified Pre-Owned vehicle is covered by any remaining portion of its original 3-year/36,000-mile New Vehicle Limited Warranty. On top of that, the 12-month/12,000-mile Mazda Certified Pre-Owned Limited Vehicle Warranty adds even more reassurance.

Furthermore, Mazda Certified Pre-Owned vehicles come with complimentary 24-hour Emergency Roadside Assistance, assisting with jump starts, lockout assistance, flat tire changes, and towing. And with a free three-month trial to SiriusXM® Satellite Radio, buyers can enjoy commercial-free music, sports, talk, and more.
