What’s the difference between used and CPO?

You might be asking yourself: Is there really a big difference betweenused and CPO vehicles? Well, our CPO, or Certified Pre-Owned, models are widely considered to be the top tier of used cars. While they must pass a 152-point inspection and satisfy the manufacturer’s requirements, they must also meet age and mileage restrictions, which tend to limit the number of used vehicles to only the best of the best. While this may make our CPO vehicles a little more expensive, we’d like to think you get out what you put into your purchase.

What is good mileage on a used car?

The mileage limit on a used vehicle varies with each model, but with advancements in modern technology, you’ll see that many of them live longer lives nowadays. As innovative powertrains and increased efficiency have continued to impact the modernization of cars, today’s vehicles won’t face major issues until around the 200,000-mile mark. While it largely depends on the brand and model you’re looking at, you’ll want to do your research to be completely sure on the vehicle you want to bring home.

How do I know that I’m getting a good deal?

While our team at Gettel Toyota of Charlotte County is always looking to satisfy our customers, we urge you to do the research before giving us a visit. We implore you to explore sources like Kelley Blue Book® or Edmunds, which provide you with accurate estimates of models’ values, and with these estimates changing every month or so, we recommend that you revisit these sites frequently. If you’re looking to trade in your current vehicle, you can get a value on your model with our trade calculator on our website. When you trade in, you’ll see a more favorable bottom line!

Why should I buy from a dealership?

There are a great number of reasons why you should buy from us here at Gettel Toyota of Charlotte County, but we’ll shave it down to just a few. When you shop with us, you’ll get real valuations on our vehicles as we’re obligated to disclose all information about your vehicle by law. Our dealership also offers new and used car specials, so that you can enjoy a bit of savings while you’re with us.
