Certified Pre-Owned vs Used Nissans

Buying Used: A Smart Way to Save

The biggest perk of buying a used car? The price. Used vehicles are generally more affordable because they’ve already been through some depreciation. In fact, a new car can lose over 20 percent of its value in the first year alone. When you buy used, someone else has already taken that hit, meaning you get more car for your money.

Maintenance Tips for Your Nissan

Another plus? You can research the vehicle’s history with a report that shows past accidents, service records, and ownership details. While used cars don’t usually come with a warranty, you can often purchase one separately for added peace of mind. And since used car prices are typically more negotiable, you might even score a better deal!

Certified Pre-Owned: Like New, Without the New Price Tag

If you love the idea of a nearly new car but want to save some cash, a CPO vehicle could be the perfect middle ground. These cars go through a rigorous multi-point inspection, meet strict age and mileage requirements, and come with manufacturer-backed warranties.

CPO vehicles typically have fewer miles and are in excellent condition, plus they often include perks like roadside assistance, free maintenance, and even satellite radio trials. While they do cost more than a standard used car, that extra investment gets you added protection and confidence in your purchase.

Pro tip: Even with a CPO vehicle, it’s always a good idea to have an independent mechanic check it out. While we conduct thorough inspections at McLarty Daniel Nissan, we totally understand wanting a second opinion before making a decision.

Which Option Is Best for You?

It really depends on what matters most to you—budget, warranty coverage, and long-term peace of mind. Think about what fits your needs in terms of brand, model, trim, fuel efficiency, and, of course, price. If you plan to keep your vehicle for a long time, warranty coverage and reliability may be top priorities. On the other hand, if you’re looking for the best value upfront, a used car might be the way to go.

At McLarty Daniel Nissan, we’re here to guide you through the process. Our team will take the time to understand your needs, budget, and lifestyle to help you make an informed decision. Whether you’re leaning toward a budget-friendly used car or the added security of a CPO vehicle, we have a great selection and a knowledgeable team ready to assist you every step of the way.
