subject: The Pros and Cons of Buying Pre-Owned [print this page] If you are in the market for a used Honda but are uncertain whether you want to risk buying a second hand car, remember consumers have more options today than ever before. In the past buying a used car conjured up images of pushy sales staff trying to unload cars that should have been heading to the junk yard. While this could still happen today, there are plenty of reliable Honda dealerships offering quality pre-owned cars that have passed rigorous testing before they are made available to the public. Here are some pros and cons of buying a pre-owned Honda.
Pros of buying pre-owned.
Certified pre-owned Hondas often come with an extended warranty that makes the purchase less risky than buying any old used car.
The process to become "certified" in itself is an assurance for many car buyers. Knowing that the vehicle has been tested and inspected by a trained technician makes the affordable price all the more appealing.
Many pre-owned Honda dealers will offer a buy-back or exchange program for potential buyers of a certified vehicle. This gives the buyer an incentive to at least "try" a pre-owned vehicle and in most cases, they are happy with the decision.
Cons of buying pre-owned.
The biggest con of buying a certified pre-owned vehicle is the cost compared to a used car that has not gone through the certification process. You will pay for the testing and certification in the purchase price and that is a turn off for many looking for a more budget friendly ride.
There is always a chance despite passing the certification process that you could be purchasing a vehicle that will not be reliable. This however could be the case with a new car as well, mechanical problems are not always predicted through previous examinations.
As you can see, there are a lot of things to consider before buying a pre-owned vehicle. Talk to your local Honda dealer to learn more about pre-owned Honda's and what type of vehicles are available for review.
