If you are in the market for a newer vehicle, or if you need a second vehicle for a family member’s new job, you may be looking for a used vehicle to fit your needs. If you want a better vehicle, but don’t want to buy a new model, see the options available in a Toyota Certified Used Vehicle. If you live in La Mesa, Kearney Mesa, or Santee, you can find a great selection of Toyota Certified Used Vehicles at Toyota of Poway.
When you buy a new vehicle, you not only pay a higher sticker price you also pay for any options or option packages that you want over and above that sticker price. Also, when you buy a new vehicle, it loses value from depreciation as soon as you drive it off the lot – up to 10% in the first month and up to 35% in the first year.
With a Toyota Certified Used Vehicle, the depreciation is much slower than that of a new car. Another benefit of a Toyota Certified Used Vehicle is the ability to upgrade. The new car model that you wanted but couldn’t afford at the time may now be more affordable because it is used. Also, with a Toyota Certified Used Vehicle, the sticker price includes whatever options were already on the vehicle when it was still new, so you are not paying extra to have those options added.
Toyota Certified Used Vehicles often have the original manufacturer’s warranty still intact when you purchase the vehicle. With Toyota Certified Used Vehicles, you know that you are getting a quality vehicle at a fraction of the cost if it were new because of Toyota’s criteria for certifying the vehicle.
Toyota’s certification process keeps you in mind every step of the way. For example, a Toyota Certified Used Vehicle (TCUV) must meet certain criteria. Each candidate for certification can be a current model year, up to and including six-year-old models, so long as the odometer has 85,000 miles or less. To be certified, a vehicle must go through a rigorous 160-point inspection, and a CARFAX vehicle history report is reviewed to ensure that only the best Toyota vehicles are deemed a Toyota Certified Used Vehicle.
