Why I Love Honda Certified Used Cars! Part III

In the last two posts I’ve been gushing about the many reasons that I love selling certified Honda vehicles – at least I did while I was an Internet Sales Manager at a local Honda dealership. Now that I am the Internet Sales Manager at Michael Stead’s Hilltop Ford I still sell pre-owned Hondas, and we have program where we offer more protection for our customers than the Honda program. Today – part III of this article. I begin with a pricing example of our program:

2008 Honda Accord EX-L sedan

• Stock #16646
• VIN: JHMCP26868C015791
• Color: Black exterior, tan leather interior
• Miles: 18,646 

PRICING OPTION #1: $22,995 + tax and license fees – only includes remaining manufacturer’s warranty (see chart above). 

PRICING OPTION #2: $23,995 + tax and license fees - includes PremiumCare Extended Service package – extends protection to 7-years/100,000 miles.

COMPARE: Check our prices against other Honda Accords that have made it onto your short list. Compare these two prices to other vehicles you’ve found in your area – both Honda Certified and not.

HOW TO DECIDE: Consider differences in:

• Features (does it have leather? Navigation?)
• Condition
• Mileage
• Certified or not
• Warranty coverage
• Price 

If you find the equivalent of our PremiumCareExtended Service package at other dealerships you’ll see that it usually costs significantly more – to the tune of thousands of dollars. In designing this package – including the cost of the car + the PremiumCare 7-year/100,000 miles protection – I hope to save you money while providing more value in ongoing protection compared to anyone else in the marketplace. 

And in writing this and future articles, I am attempting to hand you tools so you can make the best decision for you and your family. OTHER TOOLS: Check out my FREE report, The 8 Biggest Mistakes That Used CarBuyers Make and How To Avoid Them! This FREE download is available on the right side of my home page at www.BayAreaCarGuy.com.
