Advantages of Buying a Certified Used Vehicle
There are many reasons why you should consider buying a certified used vehicle from a franchised dealer such as Optimum. For starters, a franchised dealer offers competitive prices and will fully stand behind all their vehicles — even after you drive it off the lot. This may not be the case when you buy privately. Even though manufacturers have variations in certification, there are some common elements that most of them offer. You'll benefit from things like: a manufacturer's backed warranty, a careful inspection of the vehicle, an exchange privilege and roadside assistance. When you think about it, buying a certified used vehicle just makes sense.
Whether you decide to shop for a used vehicle from a franchised dealer or privately, it helps to be prepared. This site is designed to help you through the various stages associated with buying a used vehicle. We want to give you practical information, so there are no surprises. After all, the more you know, the more likely you'll end up with the vehicle that's right for you — at the right price.
We've organized this information in six easy-to-use sections. For optimal results, we suggest you start from the very first section and work your way through each step. Along the way, you can save valuable tips, checklists and other relevant information to your printable worksheet. It'll make a handy resource when it comes time to purchase your used vehicle.
Before you start, here's a quick look at what Optimum has to offer.
- Warranty
Warranty is an important consideration when you shop for a used vehicle. It's important to understand who is providing the warranty coverage to the vehicle you are considering. All Optimum vehicles come with warranty coverage backed by the manufacturer.
- 150+ Point Inspection
From the proper operation of the engine and brakes to the condition of the sun shade and map lights, you can be sure that each Optimum Vehicle has been meticulously inspected by licensed mechanics before it's offered for sale.
- Exchange Privilege
With an Optimum Vehicle, you can never make the wrong decision. If you find the Optimum Vehicle you've purchased or leased isn't right for you, or if you're not completely satisfied with your choice, simply exchange it for another vehicle. Included with your Optimum Vehicle is a 30 day or 2,500 kilometre exchange privilege.
- 24-Hour Roadside Assistance
Whether you've locked your keys in your car, had a flat tire, or simply run out of gas, it's good to know that help is only a phone call away. All Optimum Vehicles feature 3 months or 5,000 kilometres (whichever comes first) of 24-hour roadside assistance.
