What are the Benefits of a Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle?

Certified Pre-Owned benefits extend far beyond typical used car purchases, providing exceptional value and peace of mind for Lincolnwood area drivers. At Zeigler Buick GMC of Lincolnwood, every Certified Pre-Owned vehicle undergoes General Motors’ comprehensive 172-point inspection process, ensuring quality that ordinary used vehicles cannot match.

Comprehensive Quality Assurance and Inspection Process

Every Buick and GMC Certified Pre-Owned vehicle must meet strict manufacturer standards before certification. Vehicles must be less than six years old with fewer than 75,000 miles, possess a clean title, and pass a detailed CARFAX® Vehicle History Report review. The rigorous 172-point inspection covers everything from air conditioning to undercarriage components.

General Motors requires dealerships to complete all safety recalls before certification. This ensures families throughout Lincolnwood, Skokie, and surrounding Cook County communities receive vehicles meeting the highest safety standards.

Extended Warranty Coverage and Certified Pre-Owned Benefits

Certified Pre-Owned benefits include two manufacturer-backed warranties that provide exceptional protection. The twelve-month/12,000-mile Bumper-to-Bumper Limited Warranty covers virtually all vehicle systems with zero deductible. Additionally, the six-year/100,000-mile Powertrain Limited Warranty protects major engine and transmission components.

Both warranties include 24-hour Roadside Assistance and Courtesy Transportation during repairs. The two-year/24,000-mile Scheduled Maintenance Plan covers up to four service events, including oil changes, tire rotations, and multi-point inspections.

Value and Peace of Mind Protection

Certified Pre-Owned vehicles deliver approximately $2,135 in built-in value compared to non-certified alternatives, according to General Motors data. The three-day/150-mile Vehicle Exchange Policy allows customers to exchange their purchase if needs change unexpectedly.
