Shopping for a different vehicle can leave you a little confused. The choices can seem overwhelming, especially if you are unfamiliar with terminology. What’s the difference between new, used, and certified pre-owned? The professionals at McKinnon Nissan in Clanton, Alabama are prepared to help you choose the vehicle that’s right for you.
New, Used And Certified Pre-Owned Defined
The word “new” in the car world is self-explanatory. It refers to a vehicle that has never been purchased by an individual. The questioning begins with the distinction between used and Certified Pre-Owned. Used simply means that someone has purchased or leased the vehicle before. Certified Pre-Owned vehicles are used vehicles that meet specific criteria for becoming certified.
Certified Pre-Owned Requirements
At McKinnon Nissan, our Certified Pre-Owned inventory consists of vehicles that are less than six years old and that have been driven fewer than 80,000 miles. Each vehicle that qualifies for the Certified Pre-Owned program has a clean title. In addition, the vehicles are subjected to a rigorous 167 point inspection.
Warranty
One benefit of purchasing a Certified Pre-Owned Nissan from McKinnon Nissan is each one is protected by warranty coverage. When you purchase Certified Pre-Owned there is a seven year or 100,000 mile limited warranty to protect your investment. This is another difference between a typical used car and a Certified Pre-Owned Nissan.
Roadside Assistance
In addition to the limited warranty, you will benefit from 24/7 Roadside Assistance. This Emergency Roadside Assistance lasts for the length of your warranty coverage. It includes such services as changing a flat tire, jumping a dead battery, and helping you get into your locked car.
Towing
When your car breaks down, it isn’t often conveniently in the parking lot of your Nissan service provider. The Certified Pre-Owned Nissan program provides up to $100 towing assistance.The program allows your vehicle to be towed to the nearest Nissan dealership within a 250 mile radius of your location.
Car Rental Reimbursement
Your life doesn’t stop when your car needs to be in the shop. With a Certified Pre-Owned Nissan, you qualify for reimbursement of up to five days of car rental costs when your car is in the shop for warrantied repairs. There is a maximum rate of $35 per day for the rental car cost reimbursement service.
Trip Interruption Services
Sometimes your car gives trouble when you are away from home. If your Certified Pre-Owned Nissan requires warrantied repairs more than 100 miles from home, you are eligible for trip interruption coverage. Up to $500 of food, transportation, and lodging is covered with this service.
