Considering buying a used Nissan car, truck or SUV? Thanks to Nissan’s reputation for quality and value, a lot of people make this choice. We want to point out that there’s a big difference between just buying a used Nissan and buying a certified pre-owned Nissan. At Conyers Nissan, we sell certified pre-owned vehicles that have been thoroughly checked out by our trained technicians. Only if a used Nissan vehicle meets the highest standards will we offer it as certified pre-owned.

At Conyers Nissan we believe that providing the driving public with valuable information is just another part of good customer service. That’s why we’ve put together this list of the 5 big differences between a certified pre-owned Nissan vs. a used Nissan from a third party or used car dealer. See for yourself why it’s worth the drive from Lawrenceville, Stockbridge, Covington, or anywhere in greater Atlanta.

Backed by a Nissan warranty. All certified pre-owned Nissan vehicles come with a 2 year, 40,000 mile warranty in addition to the standard factory warranty. That means your certified Nissan could be covered up to 100,000 miles or 7 years, whichever comes first. This should give you peace of mind that your Nissan is thoroughly protected against mechanical problems.
Inspected and certified by our technicians. Every Certified pre-owned Nissan is given a comprehensive inspection that includes more than 150 independent checks. Our technicians here at Conyers Nissan have performed this thorough inspection on every certified Nissan we sell, and any needed repairs have been taken care of. What this means to you is that your car or truck is as close to perfect as it can get.
Certified pre-owned costs less over time. Although you may initially pay a little more for your certified pre-owned Nissan, the repair costs you avoid will save you much more over time. Any used car has the potential for needing repairs. Because of our inspection process and warranty, you can expect far lower repair and maintenance costs on your vehicle, saving you time and money down the road.
Comes with free roadside assistance. Every certified pre-owned Nissan automatically comes with 24-hour roadside assistance for the full term of the certified warranty. This means that if you do require help, you can count on it being there for you.
Must meet strict Nissan requirements. In order for a used Nissan to qualify for the certified pre-owned program, it must meet strict requirements. First, it can’t be more than 5 years since it was manufactured. Second, it must have less than 60,000 miles on it. Lastly, it must have never been in an accident requiring major repairs. That’s why when you buy a certified pre-owned Nissan, it’s as close to buying new as you can possibly get.

Buying a used car can be tricky if you don’t know the best online car buying sites. Do you really trust what you’re being told about it? That’s why buying a certified pre-owned Nissan makes so much sense. You get the peace of mind that comes from having your car thoroughly inspected and repaired. You also get the knowledge that our service technicians here at Conyers Nissan know the history of your vehicle and can confidently maintain it in top running condition.
