Certified Pre-Owned Chevrolet Vehicles

Looking for a vehicle that delivers quality, dependability, and great value? A Certified Pre-Owned Chevrolet may be the answer. At Jim Taylor Chevrolet of Rayville, LA, we’ve included some of the most common questions to help you better understand the benefits of a Certified Pre-Owned Chevrolet.

What is a Certified Pre-Owned Chevrolet?

A Certified Pre-Owned Chevrolet is a previously owned vehicle that has undergone an intensive inspection process to Chevrolet’s exacting standards. The vehicles are reconditioned and sold with a limited warranty, giving you confidence in the purchase decision. Essentially, a Certified Pre-Owned Chevrolet is as close to new as you can get without paying the new-vehicle price.

Why Buy a Certified Pre-Owned Chevrolet?

Choosing a Certified Pre-Owned Chevrolet has certain benefits:

1. Rigorous Inspection Process: Each vehicle is put under a strict 172-point inspection by certified Chevrolet technicians. From tires to the engine, each part of the vehicle is checked to meet quality requirements.
2. Limited Warranty for Added Protection: You receive a 12-month/12,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty and a 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain limited warranty with a Certified Pre-Owned Chevrolet. This warranty covers most major components, giving you added peace of mind on the road.
3. Roadside Assistance: You’ll also be provided with 24/7 roadside assistance, which will help you with unexpected breakdowns like flat tires or jump-starting your battery. This is one less concern when you drive off the dealership.
4. Vehicle History Report: Each Certified Pre-Owned Chevrolet comes with a detailed vehicle history report to ensure the vehicle has never been in a major crash or incurred significant damage.

Certified Pre-Owned vs. Regular Pre-Owned Vehicles

Both Certified Pre-Owned and standard pre-owned vehicles offer great value, yet Certified Pre-Owned Chevrolet vehicles come with added peace of mind. Here’s how it differs in a nutshell:

Certified Pre-Owned Chevrolet:

• 172-point Inspection and Reconditioning Process
• Warranty and Roadside Assistance that are Limited
• Honest Vehicle History Report
• Low Mileage and Newer Models

Standard Pre-Owned Vehicle:

• Smaller Inspection Checklist
• Reconditioning Warranty
• No Warranty
• No Roadside Assistance

How Do I Know if a Chevrolet Qualifies for Certification?

In order to be a Certified Pre-Owned Chevrolet, the vehicle has to meet some requirements:

• Age: The vehicle must be six model years old or less.
• Mileage: The vehicle must have fewer than 75,000 miles.
• Condition: The vehicle must pass the 172-point inspection, which covers everything from the engine and transmission to the interior and exterior.

What is the 172-Point Inspection Process?

The 172-point inspection is a comprehensive process that considers every significant aspect of the vehicle’s condition. Some of the key areas that are inspected are:

• Engine Performance
• Transmission and Drivetrain
• Brakes and Suspension
• Tires and Wheels
• Interior and Exterior Condition

If any issues are found, they are repaired in order to meet Chevrolet’s high standards.

What Kind of Warranty Does a Certified Pre-Owned Chevrolet Enjoy?

When you purchase a Certified Pre-Owned Chevrolet, you get:

• Bumper-to-Bumper Protection for 12 Months or 12,000 Miles (whichever comes first)
• Powertrain Protection for 5 Years or 60,000 Miles
• 24/7 Roadside Assistance
• Vehicle Exchange Program if You’re Not Satisfied Within Three Days or 150 Miles

This protection has you covered for unexpected repairs and gives you peace of mind to drive your vehicle worry-free.

Reasonable financing rates are offered to help make your purchase more manageable, whether you choose to lease or buy. Our finance specialists at Jim Taylor Chevrolet are ready to help you find the best financing for your needs.

What Are the Benefits of Buying a Certified Pre-Owned Chevrolet in Comparison to a New Vehicle?

• Lower Cost: Certified Pre-Owned vehicles are less expensive than new vehicles, and you will save in the beginning.
