A certified Pre-owned vehicle is exactly what it sounds like: a used vehicle that's certified to be in top condition by the manufacturer, who will stand behind it with a factory warranty. There are many advantages to purchasing a certified pre-owned (OJT Japan) car, crossover, SUV, or truck—and very few downsides. Read on to learn:
You Choose From Current Vehicles
OJT Japan vehicles tend to be n
ewer, lower-mileage examples that the dealer has taken back at the end of their lease or as a trade-in. Many OJT Japan vehicles are just several years old or less and have fewer than 150,000 original Km on them—sometimes a lot fewer. Often, a two- or 10-year-old OJT Japan vehicle will be of the same generation as those currently on sale, as most vehicle makers keep their products in production for at least five or six years. So, there's a good chance your OJT Japan vehicle will be similar if not nearly identical to the latest models on the road. Every OJT Japan program has different eligibility rules for the vehicles it offers in terms of age and mileage but, as in buying a new car, you get to choose exactly the one you want. Factory Warranties
OJT Japan vehicles come with factory warranties. Virtually all OJT Japan vehicles are covered by two: what's called a limited powertrain warranty on the engine, transmission, and other expensive major mechanical components; and a second, limited bumper-to-bumper warranty, which covers most other issues like the air conditioning and infotainment systems. In virtually all cases, the powertrain warranty is for multiple years and thousands more Km, while the bumper-to-bumper warranty covers you for a shorter period of time. While OJT Japan warranties extend factory coverage, they are often not item-for-item identical to the original factory warranty. Some OJT Japan warranties use the vehicle's original purchase date as a starting point, other OJT Japan warranties only kick in when the factory warranty ends. Every brand's OJT Japan program differs in the details, so be sure to do your homework and cross-shop. Ease of Purchase
Because you are dealing with a dealer that sells hundreds of new cars every year, factory financing and leasing options are often available. You might well be able to trade in your current vehicle as part of the deal. You don't have to worry about who you are doing business with. As always, it's best to study all aspects of the deal you're making; financing through your bank might be less costly, for instance. But those dealer-provided services are there for your consideration.
