Are you in the market for a used Chrysler Pacifica? What about a Dodge Hornet or Jeep Grand Cherokee? If the answer is yes for any of these vehicles and you want to save some money, consider buying one that’s certified pre-owned.
Buying certified pre-owned is a great way to save money – up to thousands of dollars – on your favorite vehicles. Best of all, buying pre-owned gives you peace of mind that the vehicle you’re driving has been recently inspected and given the green light (no pun intended) to leave the lot.
But this is just one of the many benefits of buying a certified used car in Palatka, FL, from Beck Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram. Keep reading for more.
Saves You Money…in More Ways Than One
Brand-new cars are expensive, and very rarely do people have tens of thousands of dollars lying around. While you can go ahead and buy a new car by financing it, you’re still going to be paying the full price, just split over monthly installments.
While the same is true of buying a used car, the total amount you’ll be paying will be significantly lower than it would be if you bought brand-new, thus saving you more money.
However, this isn’t the only way buying a certified used car will save you money. Because it’s harder to place a true value on a used vehicle, your monthly insurance costs will be a lot lower than for those cars that are purchased new. This puts more money in your pocket in the long run.
Better Approval Odds
Buying a vehicle is usually based on your credit score and overall credit history. If your credit is in less-than-great shape, you will usually find it easier to get approved for a certified pre-owned car than you would a brand-new one.
Why? Because the overall cost of a used car is lower than a new one, this plays a significant factor in who can get approved for financing.

Though buying a pre-owned car is cheaper, the one downside is that you aren’t always privy to its history. Who used to drive it? Was it ever in an accident? Did it recently get repairs? Unless the previous owner discloses this information to the dealership or to you directly, you may never know what the car you’re buying has truly been up to.
However, that can’t be said when you buy a used car that’s been certified. When a car is certified, it’s tested to meet several standards, including but not limited to appearance and mechanical.
Every certified used car must meet the outlined standards to become certified. Plus, when you buy certified, you’ll get access to the vehicle’s CARFAX report. This answers the questions posed above, giving you greater peace of mind about what you’re buying.
More Options Available to You
When you visit a dealership to buy a car, they likely specialize in only a couple of name brands or, in some cases, just one brand exclusively. Unless you have your heart set on the particular make and models they offer, you’re going to have to visit multiple dealerships to test drive and learn about multiple brands.
This can be a huge time-waster. However, when you buy pre-owned, you’ll have access to a wider range of makes and models, including those that are outside of the dealership’s specialty. The ability to browse multiple makes and models at different prices makes it easier to find the right car, truck, or SUV for you.
