If you're in the market for a used car, it should be noted that there is no better deal than buying a Dealer Certified Pre-Owned, just like the vehicles found here at Charles Barker Preowned. Dealer Certified vehicles have the benefit of having been thoroughly inspected upon their arrival on the lot. Only after going through rigorous 100-point inspections do they get our seal of approval from our dedicated service and repair department; something that you won't find when buying form a private party,

Of course, we still recommend giving any used vehicle that you may be considering your own thorough inspection before committing to buying it. Also, be certain the VIN (ID Number) on the report matches the automobile you are looking at. Make sure the paint on all body panels matches as well. If you find that it doesn't it could mean that the car has been involved in an accident.

The absolute best way, however, to be 100 percent sure that you're getting a solid vehicle is to bring along a mechanic you may know. Have them take a look at the car you're considering, and pick their brain for tidbits of info about the car.

"Now it's time to price and negotiate to buy the certified used vehicle," according to Edmunds. "Check the True Market Value (TMV) price of the car. Edmunds.com assigns a specific Certified Used Vehicle price to used cars that qualify for certification. This price will be higher than the dealer retail price. Use the TMV price as a benchmark for negotiations."¹

Of course, when you're considering any of the great lineup of used cars that we carry here at 3252 Virginia Beach Blvd Virginia Beach, VA 23452, you can rest assured that you're getting a rock-solid deal.
