Buying Guide | Pre-Owned Vehicles

Today's cars are of higher quality, they last longer and are more reliable.  Leasing continues to increase in the popularity, resulting in a huge inventory of two- or four-year-old cars, trucks, and SUVs.  Many of these cares are in excellent condition with low mileage and some portion of the factory warranty remaining!  

 The automotive industry as a whole is changing for the better, not surprisingly so are the ways consumers shop for and purchase vehicles.  

• One emerging method is the manufacturer-certified used-car program at new-car dealers. 
• Another is used-car superstores. Rental-car companies sell much of their inventory directly to consumers for attractive prices.

Certified Pre-Owned programs provide customers with an extended warranty on the engine and drivetrain that is actually continued protection by the factory and is honored at any of that manufacturer's dealers. 

While surfing the Net, shoppers might paddle over to the eBay wave. Buying a car sight-unseen is counter to everything we've all been taught, but as online shoppers have gained confidence in eBay's process and business practices, they've bought more cars, and more mainstream cars, via the online auction: Last year, eBay moved nearly one million vehicles, most offered for sale by dealers.

eBay puts a one-year limited warranty on cars sold on its site and will buy back any car that's misrepresented. Extended warranties are also available for a fee, and professional inspectors can examine potential purchases for buyers before they commit.

Is a Certified Car Right for Me?

It’s always a good idea to research a brand’s CPO program to make an informed judgment. Most companies make an inventory search available on their website that will allow for quick comparison shopping. The warranty that comes with a CPO car can help allay the fear of purchasing a used / pre-owned vehicle.

The used-car marketplace will continue to evolve toward emulating the experience of buying new.

Tips to help save money at the pump.

Fuel Conservation for Sizable Savings

No matter where gas prices go, everyone is interested in saving money at the pump.  Here are some simple steps that will improve your mpg.  Save your hard-earned money for something nice at the mall and reduce your carbon footprint at the same time!

 

 

Fuel Saving Tips 

• Maintain a steady speed at the designated speed limit (driving 55 instead of 60mph can reduce fuel consumption by nearly 10%).
• Accelerate slowly on gravel or slippery roads to prevent wasted gas from wheel slippage as well as extra-wear on your tire tread.
• Drive nice and steady (unnecessary steering waste fuel-burning tire drag).
• Refrain whenever possible from using the air conditioning at lower speeds.
• Avoid unnecessary braking (use rolling resistance to lessen brake-wear and gas consumption).
• Turn the vehicle off at red lights, idling quite simply wastes gas.
• Avoid "jack rabbit" starts which, not only increase fuel usage, they are hard on tires.
• A poorly tuned engine can increase fuel consumption by up to 50%.  

 

Proper vehicle maintenance today will extend the life of your vehicle and puts more money in your pocket. And please remember  .  .  .

• Under-inflated tires can increase gas usage by 10%.
• Changing spark plugs regularly lead to substantial fuel savings.
• Balanced, aligned and properly inflated tires make for a smoother ride, and saves gas.

Don't be penny wise and pound foolish, you'll save on gas and extend the life of your vehicle in the long run.
