Expert Tips for Buying Certified Used Cars
Summary
Purchasing used cars has become much safer, thanks to certification programs that are reshaping the industry. Many Americans are now opting for used cars to get better value for their money.

The risk associated with buying used cars has significantly decreased due to the rise of certification programs. These programs are helping to eliminate dishonest dealers who might sell damaged cars, particularly those affected by events like last year’s floods, which left about 600,000 vehicles damaged.
With more consumers opting for certified vehicles, sales are expected to significantly surpass the 1.6 million units sold in 2005. Certified used cars not only cost less than new ones but also offer benefits similar to new vehicles, making them a smart choice for many buyers.
However, it’s crucial to recognize that not all certification programs are equal. To ensure you make a wise purchase, here are some expert tips:
Understand the Certification
- Certification Authority: Determine who sets and enforces the standards of the certification program. Manufacturer-backed programs are generally more reliable, as manufacturers are directly involved in the certification process and offer limited warranties along with the car’s existing warranty.
Do Your Research
- Evaluate Options: Look into various makes and models that suit your needs. Access online safety and reliability reports, and compare prices across different locations.
Certification Details
- Inspection and History: Ensure the car has undergone a thorough mechanical inspection and has a verified vehicle history report. Carfax Vehicle History Reports are essential for about 80% of today's manufacturer-certified programs.
Warranty and Extras
- Warranty Coverage: Know the details of the extended warranty offered with the certified used car. Understand what is covered and the duration. Consider purchasing additional coverage if needed.
Negotiate for More
- Additional Benefits: Do not hesitate to ask for extras like roadside assistance, added options, or free oil changes when purchasing.
By following these tips, buying a certified used car can be a rewarding experience, offering reliability and peace of mind.
