Keep reading to find the answers to our most frequently asked questions!
What's the difference between used and CPO?
Think of Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) cars as top-tier used models. This is because these vehicles undergo an inspection that’s even more rigorous than our typical inspection, with strict guidelines outlined directly from the manufacturer. In order to make it into this superior league of used models, a model must meet certain age and mileage requirements as well. Some pre-owned vehicles may also be covered by limited warranties that will sweeten your driving experience even more.
What is good mileage on a used car?
Thanks to ever-evolving technology, today’s cars can last many more miles than their older counterparts. With the latest powertrain capabilities, a modern car typically won’t experience any major issues until around the 200,000-mile threshold — some will even last until 300,000 miles! This will vary depending on the make and model of your ride, so always conduct research to find out the average longevity of your particular vehicle.
How do I know that I'm getting a good deal?
When you shop at any of our dealerships within the Perrin Auto Group, rest assured that you’re getting a great deal. However, feel free to research the market before you begin your car search. Consult trustworthy third-party sources like Kelley Blue Book® or Edmunds in order to receive accurate information. The market is always changing, so make sure you stay up-to-date on any fluctuations that may occur. If you’re interested in making a trade, many of our dealers provide online trade estimator tools so that you can get an estimate for your current ride from the comfort of your home.
Why should I buy from a dealership?
Purchasing a used car from a dealership (like one of ours) is the best way to ensure you’re getting behind the wheel of a secure ride. For our customers' peace of mind, the Perrin Auto Group is transparent with all vehicle pricing and information. We also offer a variety of used car specials so that you can potentially save even more on your next affordable model. When you buy a pre-owned vehicle from a private party, you run the risk of not getting a fair deal. Plus, there’s little you can do once the sale is finalized. Eliminate the stress of purchasing a used car by shopping with the Perrin Auto Group!
