Comparing Pre-Owned vs. Certified Pre-Owned MAZDA Cars

When it’s time to begin the car shopping experience, you will need to decide whether you’ll be researching new, pre-owned, or Certified Pre-Owned Mazda models. While a new car sounds like an ideal option, it’s not always a feasible one.

The good news is that pre-owned and Certified Pre-Owned Mazda vehicles at Medlin Mazda can bring just as much joy to drivers. Discover the differences between these options at our Mazda dealership today.

Pre-Owned Models

At our location, we only accept previously owned models that are in excellent shape. They will be inspected for safety and quality before they are reconditioned for sale. There are many advantages to choosing a pre-owned mode, with saving money being the most significant.

Drivers will also save on monthly insurance premiums and annual registration costs since the value on a previously owned model is lower. In the first year of ownership of a brand-new car, up to 30 percent of its value is lost. By opting for a pre-owned vehicle, drivers can dodge all or most of this depreciation.

Certified Pre-Owned MAZDA Vehicles

If you’re still not sure about pre-owned models but can’t justify the cost of a new vehicle, a Certified Pre-Owned Mazda model is ideal. These models were previously owned but have lower mileage and are relatively newer.

They undergo a rigorous 160-point inspection and must meet standards set by the manufacturer. They also come with an AutoCheck® vehicle history report and 24-hour emergency roadside assistance.

Finally, peace of mind is provided with a 12-month/12,000-mile New Vehicle Limited Warranty and a seven-year/100,000-mile limited powertrain warranty.
