Certified vs. regular used: is it worth it?
Choose certified if…
You want a factory inspection, a vehicle history report and manufacturer-backed warranty coverage beyond what’s left of the original factory warranty — and you plan to keep the vehicle a while.
Choose regular used if…
Lowest price matters most, or you want an older or higher-mileage vehicle outside certification limits. Ask for the vehicle history report on any used vehicle before you buy.
