Certified Pre-Owned vs Pre-Owned Cars in Farmville, NC

Chevrolet and GMC vehicles are known for their durability and exceptional capability, making them excellent choices in the pre-owned market. When you shop for a pre-owned vehicle, you are already making a smart financial decision. But within that market, you have two great options: a traditional pre-owned vehicle and a certified pre-owned vehicle.

Understanding the difference is key to finding the perfect balance of value and confidence. At Doug Henry Chevrolet GMC, we're here to explain the benefits of each path for our customers in Farmville, NC.

What is the Difference Between Certified Pre-Owned and Pre-Owned?

A pre-owned vehicle is any vehicle that has had a previous owner. A certified pre-owned vehicle, however, is a special category of pre-owned vehicles that meet a strict set of standards set by the manufacturer – in this case, General Motors. This certification process provides an extra layer of quality assurance and benefits that you don't get with a typical pre-owned vehicle, making it the highest standard a pre-owned vehicle can achieve.

Chevrolet and GMC Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles

To become certified, a Chevrolet or GMC vehicle must pass a multi-step process that guarantees its quality. This difficult process is what makes certified pre-owned Chevrolet vehicles and certified pre-owned GMC vehicles such a great choice.

First, the vehicle must meet several strict rules to even be considered for the program. It must be less than 6 model years old, have been driven for fewer than 75,000 miles, and have a clean title. This is checked with a free CARFAX® Vehicle History Report.

Next, our factory-trained technicians perform a detailed 172-point inspection. They inspect everything, from the engine and transmission to the electrical systems and the interior condition. If any part does not meet GM's high standards, it is repaired or replaced with genuine GM parts.

Finally, every certified pre-owned Chevrolet and GMC vehicle comes with a package of benefits, including:

1. Two Factory-Backed Warranties
2. Scheduled Maintenance Program
3. Vehicle Exchange Program

This is a key part of the certified pre-owned program. Your vehicle is covered by two main warranties. The 6-year/100,000-mile powertrain limited warranty is measured from the vehicle’s original in-service date and covers major components like the engine and transmission. You also get a 12-month/12,000-mile bumper-to-bumper limited warranty for many other parts of the car. Both warranties have a $0 deductible, which means you won't have to pay for covered repairs.

Your purchase also includes two scheduled maintenance visits to help you get a great start with your vehicle. Within the first 2 years or 24,000 miles, this program will cover important services like oil changes, tire rotations, and multi-point inspections. This adds real value and helps keep your vehicle in top shape from the very beginning.

Every certified pre-owned vehicle comes with a 3-day or 150-mile exchange policy to make sure you are happy with your choice. If you decide the car isn't the right fit for you, you can bring it back and exchange it for another Chevrolet or GMC vehicle. This helps give you complete peace of mind with your purchase.
