Certified vs One-Owner Cars for Sale near Vienna, VA
Used cars are great for motorists who are on tight budgets. To get a quality one that you can rely on for the long haul, consider a certified or one-owner option here at Honda of Chantilly. You can learn about these options in this overview and at our dealership thanks to our skilled team members.
One-Owner
The vehicle you drive should be something that you know will last, and a used car that has been passed from one owner to another doesn’t inspire confidence in many drivers. If you want to go on Vienna outings in a model with only a single previous titleholder, then a one-owner option might be just for you. These have less wear and tear than most pre-owned cars, as well as fewer miles on the odometer. Many were previously leased, which means they were kept to strict service and mileage limitations. Also, you can find a CARFAX® Vehicle History Report™ for each one, which shows where it has been throughout its time on Highway 7.
Certified
The Honda brand is known for its reliable cars, and this is made clear by its certified pre-owned vehicle options. These must pass a rigorous 182-point inspection by a trained technician in order to be considered for this title. Once it is certified, the vehicle will come with a 7-year/100,000 mile powertrain warranty1 that covers its engine and related components. Additionally, if you ever find yourself with a flat tire or a dead battery, you can make use of the included 27/7 Roadside Assistance2 program. Finally, since these cars come with two complimentary oil changes3 in the first year, you can have a great start to your time with the certified model you choose at our nearby location.
Which Is Best?
Each of these used-vehicle categories has its advantages. For example, motorists who wish to save cash without sacrificing much quality will do well to choose a one-owner model. However, since they don’t come with the same warranties as certified Hondas, long-term drivers may prefer the latter. Another aspect to consider is features you want in the vehicle. Certified cars are typically newer, meaning you’ll usually find more modern technology in the cabin. That being said, one-owner models span more model years, so you may find a wider variety of features. To find the one you want to take to Arlington, visit Honda of Chantilly today.
