Certified Pre-Owned vs. Pre-Owned: Which Nissan Should You Buy in Ft. Walton Beach, FL?

Nissan vehicles are great. Any model gives you an exhilarating and comfortable ride. When searching for a luxury or sporty vehicle, consider pre-owned Nissan models. With a pre-owned Nissan, you can save money and enjoy a reliable vehicle. However, you should ensure you're getting a good deal, and the vehicle is in good shape.

Lee Nissan has many pre-owned and certified pre-owned models. Whether you're looking for a sedan or an SUV, you will find something to fit your budget. Still, deciding whether to get a regular pre-owned or a certified pre-owned vehicle can be challenging if it's your first time buying a vehicle that's not brand-new. Our dealership's Nissan specialists are always ready to help you if you have questions or need more information about the certified pre-owned vehicle you're interested in.

Why Is Certified Pre-Owned Different from Regular Pre-Owned?

There is one crucial difference between a certified pre-owned vehicle and a regular pre-owned vehicle. There is a lot of variation in the age and mileage of pre-owned vehicles and the vehicle's condition. A vehicle must meet certain standards before qualifying as a certified pre-owned vehicle.

Generally, a standard pre-owned vehicle is less expensive than a brand-new or certified pre-owned vehicle, although many certified pre-owned models will still fit your budget.

Finding the right pre-owned or certified pre-owned vehicle for your budget and needs is key. Before you buy, look at the vehicle's age, mileage, and history.

Nissan Certified Program

When you buy a certified pre-owned vehicle from Lee Nissan, you know you're getting a reliable vehicle. These vehicles have many advantages over pre-owned vehicles, even though they are a bit more expensive. The mileage of a pre-owned vehicle is one crucial factor differentiating it from a certified pre-owned model. Nissan certified pre-owned vehicles must be less than six years old and have less than 80,000 miles on them to qualify as such.

Factory-trained technicians perform a rigorous 167-point inspection on the vehicles. We will repair or replace any broken or worn parts during the inspection. Nissan Certified, Nissan’s certified pre-owned program, ensures that a vehicle history report accompanies each certified pre-owned unit. These strict guidelines ensure Nissan’s certified pre-owned vehicles are in excellent condition.

Nissan offers a bumper-to-bumper limited warranty for seven years or 100,000 miles as added peace of mind for customers. This warranty becomes effective upon expiration of the original new vehicle warranty. A certified pre-owned Nissan’s warranty begins on the date of sale, even if the new vehicle warranty has already expired.

Nissan Certified also includes roadside assistance coverage for 84 months/100,000 miles. There’s also one year of prepaid maintenance coverage for the first year of ownership or 15,000 miles, whichever comes first.

Certified pre-owned Nissan models also include a limited warranty covering vital components, such as the engine, suspension, transmission, brakes, and electrical systems. Nissan's certified pre-owned vehicles demonstrate Nissan's commitment to providing reliable and trustworthy vehicles - even pre-owned ones.
