Trying to decide if a certified used car is right for you? CertifiedCars.com has pointed out a few major pros and cons of purchasing a certified used car.

Pros:

·      Peace of mind knowing the vehicle has been thoroughly inspected and if needed, repaired, by manufacturer-approved technicians.

·      The certified used car has already passed the highest depreciation period, which takes place within the first few years

·      Consumers are able to buy a make or model that would be to expensive brand-new without having to risk buying a non-certified used car

Cons:

·      Price is slightly higher than a non-certified used car due to the cost of the certification process and warranty

·      Not all certification processes are equal. Third party certification programs are not required to meet specifications set forth by the manufacturer. Avoid over-priced certification programs by only purchasing Manufacturer Certified Pre-Owned cars
