What Are the Benefits of Certified Pre-Owned Buick GMC Vehicles?
You may have seen it talked about in commercials or even as you passed by our dealership here at Mark Wahlberg Buick GMC. That is a mention of certified pre-owned Buick and GMC vehicles. While you may recognize that these specific cars are more than just used models, you may be curious as to what the benefits of certified pre-owned Buick and GMC vehicles are. Below, we outline some of the specific benefits of these vehicles and why you may want to consider one for your drives around Columbus, Grove City, and Dublin, Ohio.
There are a few requirements for a used GMC or Buick car to potentially become a certified pre-owned vehicle. First, it must be less than six model years old and have under 75,000 miles driven. This ensures you can get a car that has a lot of years left of dependable driving, making CPO GMC and Buick vehicles a great pick if you want to buy a car for the long term.
If it meets those requirements, then the vehicle title is looked at, and it must be clean. On top of that, the car must go through a 172-point inspection. This inspection includes testing the function of safety features, examining the components under the hood, and evaluating the performance with a road test. On top of that, you can also get a look at the CARFAX® Vehicle History Report™, which is included with each CPO GMC or Buick. Overall, this gives you the transparency that any GMC or Buick labeled certified is in top condition.
Protection Even After You Leave Our Lot
When you drive off in your certified pre-owned Buick or GMC, you’ll also have peace of mind thanks to the additional protections that are in place. One of which is the warranty coverage these vehicles come with, which includes:
- 12-month/12,000-mile bumper-to-bumper limited warranty
- 6-year/100,000-mile powertrain limited warranty
Along with that, we want to help ensure your CPO vehicle is set for the long term, which is why the first two scheduled maintenance visits will already be covered. You’ll also have professional help arrive at your location when you run out of fuel, get locked out of your car, or need help with a flat tire thanks to the 24-hour Roadside Assistance Program included with CPO Buick and GMC vehicles.
While having a newer model year will mean you’ll get to enjoy a lot of the modern tech that is featured in Buick and GMC vehicles, a certified pre-owned vehicle will include a few additional technologies to enhance your travels. That includes a limited trial of OnStar.
With OnStar, it can sense when you have been involved in a collision and automatically contact emergency services. It also features Advanced Diagnostics, so you can stay ahead of any issues with your car.
Any of the CPO GMC or Buick models that are equipped with SiriusXM® also come with a 3-month trial subscription. With it, you can enjoy a wide range of entertainment options, including commercial-free music, live sports coverage, and various types of talk radio.
