Check out this CPO vs. used guide from Honda of Turnersville, then visit us to compare the certified pre-owned and used vehicles we have in stock today!

What to Know About Buying a Used Car

By definition, a used car is one that has been previously driven by another owner or owners. When you’re shopping for a used car around Vineland, you’ll find that you’ll have a wide range of cars, trucks, and SUVs from many different auto brands from which to choose. When shopping for a used car it is important to take note of the model year and mileage, and you should also get a vehicle history report if possible. The main advantage of buying a used car from a dealership like Honda of Turnersville is the competitive pricing and the variety of options available. We offer vehicles of all kinds and offer a fine selection of used cars priced under $20,000. You’ll also be able to take advantage of our used vehicle specials which can make your purchase even more budget-friendly.

The following tips will help you enjoy a successful used car shopping experience:

  • Thoroughly inspect any used vehicle you’re considering, and take it for a test drive before making an offer.
  • Discuss any issues in terms of vehicle condition or performance that arise to ensure the vehicle is fit for your needs and safe to drive.
  • Ask about the vehicle’s service history. Some cars and SUVs can last more than 200,000 miles if they have received proper care and maintenance.

What to Know About Buying a CPO Car

One important difference between CPO vs. used is that certified pre-owned vehicles are like-new, low-mileage models that have received approval from a brand-specific CPO program that has a number of preset requirements. A HondaTrue Certified Pre-Owned vehicle, for example, must be no more than six years old and have less than 80,000 miles. All Honda CPO vehicles must also undergo a rigorous multi-point appearance and mechanical inspection. There are two tiers of HondaTrue warranty coverage that add peace of mind to Marlton-area drivers like you. Take a look at what the HondaTrue warranties include:

HondaTrue Certified (2015-2020 vehicles)

  • Covers vehicles that have been purchased during the New Vehicle Limited Warranty period, and extends that coverage to 4 years/48,000 miles. If the vehicle is purchased after the original New Vehicle Limited Warranty has expired, you’ll get a Honda CPO warranty of 1 year/48,000 miles.

HondaTrue Certified+ (2019-2020 vehicles)

  • Provides coverage for 5 years/86,000 miles on vehicles purchased within the New Vehicle Limited Warranty period.

Both of these HondaTrue Certified and HondaTrue Certified+ warranties include roadside assistance, trip interruption coverage, concierge service, and up to two complimentary oil changes within the first year of ownership. A Certified Honda will allow you’ll enjoy many perks and benefits usually associated with a new car purchase, but at a low used car price.
