Certified vs One-Owner Vehicles near OakPark, IL
When you’ve chosen us at McGrath Lexus of Chicago as the dealership you’d like to use to pursue pre-owned vehicles, we’d be remiss if we didn’t mention our generous selection of certified and one-owner variants that you can select from at our location near Oak Park. But because each category has unique distinctions that appeal to different buyers, we’ll help you make an informed decision by highlighting them below!
One-Owner Vehicles
Models that sport the one-owner title have only had a single vehicle pilot possess its title. As one could imagine, this bodes well for future owners, as the chance that it has been extensively cared for is much higher than that of a car that has been in the hands of several motorists. This also means that you won’t need to begin a tireless search for prior maintenance details, since it will have been in the hands of a single owner. Ultimately, procuring a CarFax® Vehicle History Report™ from a one entity becomes a task that is less daunting, helping you understand what service has been performed on the vehicle already. When you combine these factors, you’ll adopt a mechanically-sound vehicle without bearing the brunt of overdue preservation items!
Certified Pre-Owned
In short, certified pre-owned vehicles passed a strict set of criteria set forth by the manufacturer that target facets such as their odometer reading, appearance, and mechanical circumstances. Very often coming from owners who had previously undergone a leasing contract, these cars typically have low mileage and have been well preserved by their former owners. That means you can save money while also showing off a shimmering model when driving through South Boulevard. And if they were in need of routine maintenance procedures when they arrived at our location, the trained technicians at our Service Department have made sure to perform 161-point inspections of their internal components. If you go with a certified model from us, you’ll have the luxury of being backed by LexusCare, which offers roadside assistance1, access to exclusive events, and a limited warranty2!
Which One is Right for You?
Now that we’ve made clear cut differentiations between both types of pre-owned vehicles that we offer, you may be wondering which kind you’d rather cruise with to Scoville Park. While both will strengthen your security while driving given their surplus of benefits, one-owner models may be more advantageous for those who want to adhere to a stricter budget. They tend to be cheaper than their certified counterparts, giving you more flexibility in your monthly allowance. Though if your priorities lie within owning a car that is backed by the hands of our technicians and extended warranties for a few additional years of worry-free cruising to Austin Gardens, certified pre-owned may be the best route to pursue. This added layer of protection does come at the cost of slightly higher sticker prices, however. Let our Finance Department assist you with anything in the realm of monetary concerns and payment arrangements!
