Wyatt Johnson Ford is your full service Ford dealer serving Nashville, Tennessee and the surrounding area. If you are unfamiliar with terms used by people in the automotive sales industry, you may find yourself somewhat confused when you start the buying process. Our staff is dedicated to helping you navigate the sometimes murky waters of purchasing a different vehicle.
Exploring Terminology
With the exception of specialty features, new vehicle terminology is relatively straight forward. When you delve into the world of used vehicles is when it gets a little fuzzy. You might hear the words,”used”, “previously owned”, or “certified pre-owned” when referring to a vehicle that has been sold before. Don’t let the terms confuse you. It’s all relatively simple to understand. Used means exactly that. The car has been used. It was purchased or leased at least once before being placed for sale at this time. Previously owned means an individual or business purchased the vehicle before it was placed for sale here. Certified pre-owned means that the vehicle was previously purchased, and it meets certain criteria regarding its current condition.
Benefits of Buying Used
While a brand new vehicle is nice, there are some benefits to purchasing used. You’ve probably seen the advertisements that say, “Show me the Carfax.” When you purchase a used vehicle, you have the option of checking the Carfax to learn about the car’s history. Previous service records are a helpful benefit to purchasing a used vehicle. Both of those things help you know how well the previous owner cared for the car as well as whether the car has had previous issues. Purchasing a used car allows you to purchase a quality vehicle at a more budget friendly price.
Benefits of Buying Certified Pre-Owned
When you purchase a Certified Pre-Owned Ford from Wyatt Johnson Ford you can be confident that you are purchasing a quality vehicle. Certified Pre-Owned vehicles are subjected to a rigorous inspection process to verify that they are not only attractive but also are mechanically sound.
