5 Benefits of Buying a Certified Pre-Owned Subaru

Are you in the market for a new-to-you-car? One that’s pre-owned so you can stay within budget? If so, you might want to consider buying a Subaru that’s certified pre-owned. 

While it can sometimes be tricky to find out details about a used car, buying certified gives you details, including a CARFAX history report so you can feel confident about your purchase. In today’s blog, we take a look at the top 5 benefits of buying a certified pre-owned Subaru in Las Vegas: 

1. Detailed CARFAX History Report

Since we already mentioned it, let’s start with one of the biggest benefits of buying certified pre-owned: a detailed CARFAX history report. 

Each CARFAX history report is posted with each vehicle, so if you’re browsing online, just click the link to pull up all the details. This report covers important details, such as how many owners the vehicle previously had, what services it’s had in the past, history of accidents, the year it was purchased, mileage, and more. This comprehensive overview can tell you about a car before you see it in person for a test drive. 

2. Each Car Goes Through a 152-Point Inspection

Not every car can be certified. It requires passing a 152-point inspection. While it’s impossible to go over everything that this 152-point inspection includes, here’s a brief overview of some things you can expect: 

• Is there a CARFAX history report to go along with the vehicle? 
• Are there any chips larger than ¼ inches? 
• Are there any scratches bigger than 1 inch? 
• Is the sunroof working as it should? 
• Are the tires in good shape? Do they have at least 5/32 treads left? 
• Does the horn work? 
• Does the car have any unusual odors? 
• Are the coolant levels accurate? 
• Are the brakes working? 

The 152-point inspection is so thorough that it covers every aspect of the vehicle, including the mechanics, aesthetics, and performance. 

3. Cheaper Than a Brand-New Car

Though the prices for a used car will vary, you can generally expect them to be cheaper than their brand-new counterparts. For example, a brand-new Subaru (depending on design) may cost upward of $47,000, whereas a certified pre-owned could be in the $30,000 range. 

This lower cost brings us to our next point, which is…

4. It’s Easier to Secure Financing

Sure, a certified pre-owned Subaru may be cheaper than one that’s brand-new, but who has tens of thousands of dollars lying around? Very few people! 

As such, most people turn to financing. Financing is the process of taking out a loan on the car that’s paid back with monthly installments. How much you have to pay and what you get approved for are dependent on your credit score. So, since a used car costs less money, it’s also usually easier to obtain financing, even if you’re still building up your credit. 

5. The Ability to Browse Online from the Comfort of Home

Last but not least, another great benefit of buying a certified pre-owned car is that you can do so from the comfort of your home. 

As briefly mentioned above, each certified pre-owned car comes with a CARFAX history report, but it also comes with a detailed description, an update about how much mileage it has, how much you have to pay upfront, and photos. 

Each listing is designed to be incredibly detailed, so you can learn everything about it before seeing it for yourself in person. You can even apply for financing online, check availability, and see what your monthly payment might be from real-time lenders if you want to buy. Centennial Subaru makes it easy to browse certified pre-owned cars and SUVs from home.
