While either option has its pros and cons, it is important to carefully research each choice before making a final decision.

What Is A Used Vehicle?

A used vehicle can have many definitions. However, to start, the most notable aspect of one is that it has had a past. The price of a used vehicle can vary depending on many factors, including the make, model, year, condition, and, more importantly, miles driven. The state of a used car is one of the more important factors when determining its worth. For example, a vehicle in poor condition may cost less as it may require more repairs and attention over time. In contrast, a used car in great condition with low miles and taken care of may be closer to the original sale price since it is likely to last longer and require fewer repairs, making it a more worthwhile purchase.

What Is A Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle?

On the other side of the spectrum, a certified pre-owned vehicle is a factory-used option available for purchase at a dealership of the same brand. At Genesis of Denville, we provide a comprehensive selection of certified pre-owned Genesis models to guarantee peace of mind to any driver. In most cases, a certified pre-owned vehicle has low mileage and is accident-free. A notable factor with these vehicles is that they come with warranty coverage from the original manufacturer. Additionally, drivers can safely ride knowing these vehicles are thoroughly inspected to achieve a “like-new” condition.

Each auto manufacturer has different requirements for their certified pre-owned vehicles before being marked for sale. Genesis, however, has a comprehensive checklist to ensure every car is safe on the road and offers drivers additional benefits, ensuring they’re never met with a problem. This includes every vehicle undergoing a 191-point inspection, providing drivers with a complimentary CARFAX report, and utilizing Genesis Connected Services. Additional benefits include a rental car, travel reimbursement, and roadside assistance in the event of an automotive issue. So rest assured, drivers can receive enhanced peace of mind when getting behind the wheel of a certified pre-owned Genesis.
