3 Misconceptions About MAZDA Certified Pre-Owned Cars

The term 'pre-owned' can sometimes bring certain unfounded myths to mind, especially regarding quality and reliability. Let’s set the record straight about Mazda Certified Pre-Owned cars and why they might just be the smart choice for savvy car buyers. more Myth 1: Compromised Quality One common myth is that Mazda Certified Pre-Owned vehicles are of lower quality than new cars. However, Mazda Certified Pre-Owned vehicles undergo a rigorous 160-point inspection to ensure they meet the strict standards set by the Mazda brand. From vehicle history to performance metrics, every detail is scrutinized. Myth 2: They’re the Same as Getting an Extended Warranty Another misconception is that buying a Mazda Certified Pre-Owned car is the same as purchasing a pre-owned vehicle and adding on an extended warranty. On the contrary, Mazda Certified Pre-Owned cars come with an extensive 12-month/12,000-mile vehicle limited warranty and a seven-year/100,000-mile powertrain limited warranty, coverage that is more extensive than the typical extended warranty. Plus, you’ll have zero deductibles on covered repairs and this coverage is backed by the manufacturer, which provides extra piece of mind.

In reality, because these cars have already undergone initial depreciation, they often retain their value better than brand-new cars over time. With a Mazda Certified Pre-Owned vehicle, you’re not only getting a car that’s more affordable upfront but also one that's a smarter investment in the long run.

Let’s discuss the reliable features of this sedan and what you can do to make your used car last for many years to come. more Engine Reliability The first thing to note is the longevity of the engines in used Mazda6 cars. Since the introduction of the third generation in 2013, there have been two main engines available: the standard 2.5-liter V4 engine and the SKYACTIV®-G 2.5-liter Turbo engine. Both engines have a long history of use in many Mazda models and have held up extremely well over time. This has helped Mazda6 drivers avoid major repairs that some other engines may require.

What to Look for When Taking a Used MAZDA Car for a Test Drive

A test drive is really the best way to find out if a used Mazda is right for you. But knowing what to look for isn’t always easy. So, when you visit a used Mazda dealership and test-drive a pre-owned Mazda, here are a few things to keep an eye out for. more Unusual Sounds or Noises Test drives are about more than just getting the feel of a vehicle or making sure it suits your needs. They are crucial to make sure the vehicle is in good shape. The quickest and easiest thing to check is how it sounds. First, make sure the vehicle starts easily and idles without unusual pinging or whining. Then, when you actually take it off the lot, make sure to keep the radio down and listen as it accelerates and brakes. Jouncing or Pulling While on the road, next check for any jouncing or bumpiness. That could be a sign of a suspension, engine, or drivetrain problem. If the car seems to be drifting to the left or right when you’re driving, the vehicle could have uneven tire wear or misaligned tires. Features A test drive is also a good time to make sure everything else works in the car. Check the infotainment system, navigation, safety features, power seats, locks, and windows. Our Mazda dealers will point out any exciting vehicle amenities that the model may have, and a test drive is a wonderful time to try them out. How to Get Started With this checklist in hand, come down to Peruzzi Mazda in Fairless Hills, PA, to test drive your next pre-owned Mazda vehicle today.
