Buying a Certified Pre-Owned BMW.jpg The time has never been better to buy a certified pre-owned BMW. Inflation has risen to the extent that consumers feel pain in almost every purchase. The pandemic created a massive backlog for computer chips, reducing the number of new cars available. We have the perfect solution for these problems. Read on and find out 10 reasons you should buy a certified pre-owned BMW.

Drive It Home Today

If you've done any car shopping recently you've noticed the lack of new cars available for purchase. The pandemic contributed to supply chain shortages, including computer chips needed for new cars. It's not always the case, but part of our current reality is there might be a waiting period if you buy a new car. Certified pre-owned cars (CPO) are all present on the lot, so you know for a fact that if you like the car and want to buy it, you'll leave the dealership in your new ride the same day.

More Car for Less Money

One of the great things about buying a certified pre-owned BMW is that you will get "more car" than buying new. Those options you might have skipped when buying new are now affordable with a CPO. You will pay much less for a CPO than you would for a new car and you'll likely have more of the luxury and options you want.

Depreciation Has Decreased

Everyone is familiar with the old adage about how much a new car depreciates the moment you drive it off the dealership lot. The great thing about CPOs is that someone else has already taken that huge depreciation hit, and you are the beneficiary! When you buy a certified pre-owned BMW, you're getting a late model, almost new car at a big discount.

Rigorously Inspected Before Certification

Each BMW is put through an array of rigorous inspections before it's given the certified label. A BMW-trained technician tests the vehicle using a comprehensive Certified Pre-Owned vehicle inspection checklist. They look at everything, from how the engine performs to the operation of the glove box is scrutinized. You can take a look at the full checklist here

Every Certified Pre-Owned BMW also comes with a vehicle history report available for viewing on your BMW center website. This allows you to see where the car has been, if it has been involved in accidents, and more.
