When you walk onto a car dealership lot, you are probably looking for the best used cars Boise has to offer. But are all used cars the same? The term “used” can describe any car that’s not brand new from the manufacturer, but there are a few subcategories to know about. Knowing the differences between the types of cars can help you find the right one to fit your needs and budget. Here is what you need to know about the different types of used cars you might find at a local dealership.
Used Cars
Used cars are precisely that: cars that at least one other owner has driven or “used.” The dealership selling it might fix glaring issues or some cosmetic problems, but only to the point where it is likely to sell. There is a good chance that these cars will be sold as-is. In short, you are trusting the previous owner maintained the car well. Some of these cars can be many years old. The major advantage of buying a regular used car is that it will be cheaper than a new model, with the wear and tear reflected in the price. Generally, the more miles or the worse the vehicle’s history, the lower the price.
Demo Cars
Demo cars are usually cars that the dealership itself has used. These might be used trucks Boise dealership salespeople have driven or used as loaner cars for customers who came in for vehicle service. They are often sold after a few thousand miles of use and are likely only a few years old, meaning you could get a great deal on a relatively new car for a great price. While still technically “used,” these vehicles offer much of the appeal of a new car at a lower price point.
Fleet Cars
Rental companies generally only keep cars for a few years, as customers want to rent newer cars. Rental cars, also known as fleet cars, are typically sold after a few thousand miles and then passed onto consumers. Some of the best Boise used cars were once rental cars driven around Eagle, Meridian, and Nampa, but they could have been shipped in from somewhere else too. You might be able to find a great deal on higher-trim cars but be warned that you should look for more wear and tear than other cars as so many different people have driven these cars in a short period of time. If you are looking for more luxury-oriented cars, such as an Audi or BMW, you can find excellent deals on fleet vehicles.
Certified Pre-Owned Cars
If you want to be sure you are getting the best used car possible, you might want to look at certified pre-owned or CPO cars. CPO vehicles vary by manufacturer, but they are sold by dealerships that sell that same brand. For example, a GMC dealership will sell GMC CPO vehicles. These are typically inspected by the dealership, accident-free, and are low-mileage cars. There are maximum mileage and age requirements for the car to be considered certified pre-owned. They are usually well-maintained and have been refurbished by the dealership to a higher standard than typical used cars. This means it might get a brake job, new tires, or a new paint job, for example. They also come with factory-backed warranties. In short, they are the best of the best used cars. However, they also have higher prices than other used cars, but that extra money might be worth it for the peace of mind.
