Certified Used Cars: Potential Risks for Buyers
With the rising cost of new vehicles, many people opt for used cars. A new car's price can easily equate to a year’s salary, making used cars an appealing choice. However, buying a pre-owned vehicle comes with its own set of risks. What if the car is defective or was previously deemed a lemon? It’s wise to be cautious, as there’s a reason why the original owner decided to sell.
To address these concerns and compete with large used car retailers like CarMax, major auto manufacturers have introduced "certified used cars." These cars are inspected, repaired if necessary, and sold with enhanced warranties, offering buyers peace of mind?"albeit at a higher price.
This system benefits dealers, who find it easier to sell these vehicles, and manufacturers, who collect certification fees from dealers. However, there’s a downside for consumers: some cars marketed as certified might not truly meet certification standards. Worse, some may have significant issues that make them unsuitable for sale.
Certain states have strict laws preventing the sale of cars with serious damage from fire, floods, or major accidents. Despite this, instances of such damaged vehicles being transported and sold in neighboring states exist, often after their titles have been "laundered." Some of these cars are misrepresented as certified used vehicles.
Several lawsuits in California revolve around the sale of these problematic cars. Until there’s a national standard for used car sales, this issue will persist. Should this deter buyers from considering certified used cars? Not necessarily. It simply means that buyers need to be vigilant, exercising due diligence whether the car is certified or not.
In the end, a cautious approach is always sensible.
