GM Certified Used Vehicles Have a 5 Year 100,000 Mile Powertrain Warranty!

You know, as hard as it is for me to say this, a new GM vehicle is not always the best value for every consumer. Many people drive more than 15,000 miles per year and would like to replace their vehicle more often. For these and many other consumers, a Certified Used GM Vehicle may be the best option.

When you purchase a Certified Used GM Vehicle, the initial depreciation has already been absorbed by the original owner. The obvious advantage here is that the prices are much less than a new vehicle. GM has strict requirements for a vehicle to be considered Certified. First they have to be 5 years old or newer, and have less than 60,000 miles on them. It is our mission to have our Certified Used Vehicles be as much “like new” as we can reasonably make them.

Every GM Certified Used Vehicle has to pass a 117 point inspection. This inspection includes every operating system on the vehicle. All cosmetic issues must be dealt with and repaired. At the GM Giant, tire tread must be at least 50% of what it was when new, and the same applies to brakes. This is far greater than the minimums for Maryland State Inspection.

GM Certified Used Vehicles carry a 3 month 3,000 mile limited new vehicle warranty extension. Most used car dealers in Maryland offer the 30 day 1,000 mile limited warranty required by Maryland law. GM’s Certified Warranty gives you a minimum of 3 months or 3000 mile warranty whichever comes first, tied to the 5 year 100,000 mile Power Train Warranty from original in service date.

The GM Giant offers a 7 day 300 mile exchange policy. If you don’t like your certified used vehicle, bring it back. We even do a CARFAX vehicle history report on every Certified Used Vehicle, to provide you our best available assurance that the vehicle has not been damaged due to accident or flood. If there has been minor damage, we will disclose that prior to sale. If there has been any damage that might compromise the integrity of the vehicle, it cannot be certified.

But what about financing? Typically, used car finance rates are higher than new. Because of the high quality of GM Certified Used Vehicles, GMAC and most banks offer “like new” financing rates on Certified Used Vehicles. In fact, GMAC is offering financing rates as low as 2.9% APR right now on selected late model Certified Used Vehicles.

As if all of this isn’t good enough, Certified Cadillac Used Vehicles get all of this plus a 100,000 Cadillac Certified Used Vehicle Warranty that covers almost everything outside of maintenance for up to 5 years and 100,000 miles from the original in service date. You should refer to the GM Giant for restrictions and details about all certified coverage, or visit gmcertified.com.

Some people are uncomfortable purchasing used vehicles because of anxiety about condition and quality. The GM Giant tries to take this anxiety away with GM Certified Used Vehicles. To see our Certified Used Vehicle inventory, visit www.gmgiant.com.
