Pre-Owned 2014 Toyota Sienna Minivans at Toyota of Dothan

Buying a pre-owned car is easier today than ever before. One of the main reasons is the certification process that a Toyota goes through ensures that only the highest quality vehicles get the certified label. This means no worries for the new owner. We Start With Only The Best A candidate for certification can be anywhere from current to six model years old, but no older. It must have less than 85,000 miles and it must have a clean CARFAX report. Finally, the car must go through, and pass, a 160-point inspection process. Can you pass a 160-point inspection? So What Does Certified Mean To Me? Once a pre-owned car is certified, it means that you have peace of mind. You get a full year of roadside assistance from more than 1400 Toyota dealers in North America. You can rely on a limited comprehensive warranty for 12 month or 12,000 mile and a limited powertrain warranty for 7-year or 100,000 mile. Taken together, this is very close to the warranty of a new car. A Certified Car Deal Is Just As Simple As New One thing that people forget is the sheer complexity of buying a pre-owned vehicle either from a pre-owned dealer or an individual. You need to deal with insurance, financing and DMV in all cases. When you buy certified, it’s all handled the same as a new car transaction, including trade-ins, competitive financing rates, DMV paperwork and of course, a free CARFAX report on all certified vehicles. The only thing better than Certified, is new.

Buying a car that is slightly older will offer a number of benefits you simply can’t experience if you buy a brand new vehicle. For many people, your car is the second largest purchase you’ll ever make, right after your home. You can keep some of your hard-earned money in your pocket without sacrificing quality when you buy a used car. Less Depreciation on Used Cars Means Lower Price Tags New cars lose thousands of dollars in depreciation as soon as you drive it home after you buy it.  If you tried to sell your new car soon after purchase, you would probably take a loss. A used car, on the other hand, has already experienced that rapid depreciation. The price tag on used cars is lower and you won’t take a huge loss on depreciation when you buy used. Reduced Dealer Fees When you buy a new car, dealerships have to recover their costs for shipping charges, preparing the vehicle for sale, and destination fees. When you buy a used car, you don’t pay for those dealer fees, and instead just need to visit the DMV to take care of the tag, title, and registration fee. Reduced Registration Fees Most states charge registration fees based on the value of the vehicle and the model year. Often, the price of registration is highest during the first three to five years of new car ownership. When you buy used vehicles, you can save a few hundred or even thousands of dollars on the registration costs of a new vehicle simply by purchasing one that is three or more years old.
