If you are in the market for a used vehicle, you should consider checking out certified pre-owned cars at DePaula Chevy in Albany, NY. As a place to find a great deal on a used car, truck, or SUV, you will be impressed with the great pricing, award-winning sales team, and excellent financing options to get you and your family on the road in a certified pre-owned vehicle. But what is the point of buying a CPO vehicle? Well, buying a CPO vehicle is a lot like buying a new vehicle, only you do not pay the new-car price. Plus, you still enjoy many perks with CPO cars, such as a warranty and the peace of mind that your vehicle is in excellent condition. Purchasing a CPO vehicle really is a win-win on both ends.

So, with all of that in mind, let’s take a look at the specifics of our CPO benefits that you can expect when you shop with DePaula Chevy. For one, and this might be the most overlooked aspect of choosing a dealership, you can expect to have many vehicles to choose from when shopping for a CPO vehicle with us. This is important in finding the perfect vehicle for your needs. The inventory is massive as we feature many acres of quality vehicles while also highlighting our inventory online for you to shop at your leisure. But there are many more benefits to searching for your next CPO vehicle at DePaula Chevy; let’s get into it!

Some Fantastic Warranty Options

Outside of the price and financing, probably the most important part about buying a used car is securing a warranty that makes sense for the vehicle. You want to be sure that you are covered and that your investment is protected. You also do not want to incur substantial repair costs for a vehicle you just spent your hard-earned money to get. You want to know the dealership stands behind the vehicles they are selling. That’s where we show you how much we believe in every vehicle we sell.

Not only are we selling quality Chevy vehicles that have been thoroughly inspected, so you know we will stake our reputation to these vehicles, but we also offer extensive warranties that take the quality promise further. So let’s see what kind of warranties our CPO vehicles can have. We offer many options for all of our quality vehicles, and Chevy has an easily transferable warranty that can be brought from the original owner to you upon purchase. This way, you are covered if anything goes wrong with your vehicle. But, at DePaula Chevy, we offer warranties beyond those original ones to ensure you are covered.

First and foremost, every CPO vehicle from DePaula Chevy comes with a bumper-to-bumper limited warranty. This is only further proof that we stand behind the vehicles we sell. Plus, we do not require a deductible on the warranty provided. This ensures that if something goes wrong with your car under warranty, you will not have to pay a dollar. We also offer a powertrain limited warranty. This is the warranty that we previously mentioned that is easily transferable from the previous owner to you. So you will inherit the warranty that the previous owner had, as well as the peace of mind.

And for even more peace of mind, we also offer a 3-day/150-mile vehicle exchange. If you happen to find that after driving your recently purchased vehicle, it is not the right fit for your lifestyle or tastes, you are free to exchange it. This can be especially helpful for people who are torn between two different cars and cannot make a decision. This gives you the time you need to make the right decision for you and your family. You will have a grace period to try out the vehicle, and if you feel like another is a better match, you can easily exchange it for the other car you had your eye on. Overall, when you buy a CPO car from us at DePaula Chevy, you will always have peace of mind with our fantastic warranties and exchange options.

The 172-Point Inspection

For a vehicle to be considered certified at DePaula Chevy, it must first undergo a thorough inspection and meet stringent qualifications. Not every car makes the cut, even if it fits the parameters. The vehicles are chosen from the top tier of pre-owned options on the market. Then each vehicle has to pass a 172-point inspection.

This inspection ensures that you only see the best of the best and that you are getting a tremendous value as well as a quality vehicle. We do everything we can to make sure you are satisfied with your vehicle when you drive off the lot, which is why we only select the best vehicles for our certified program. And with our inspection process, you know that our CPO vehicles are both safe and reliable.

All of this makes for a smooth process so that you walk out the door satisfied with your purchase. At DePaula Chevy, we don’t just find you a car; we find you the best way to purchase one too.

Importance of a Vehicle’s History

Another essential part of buying a used car, whether certified or not, is making sure the vehicle has a clean history report. This can include more than just checking for accidents. You will want to look at things like how many people have owned the vehicle in its lifetime, as well as how long they owned the vehicle and in what area of the country it was driven.

This information gives you a better idea of the life expectancy of the car. Knowing about accidents is also crucial as you can see how many accidents the vehicle has been in, if any, and the extent of the damage. You will also be able to see all professional maintenance done on the car. This all gives you the peace of mind that the vehicle will last, and that it has been taken care of. And when you buy from DePaula Chevy, we are transparent and offer the vehicle’s history upfront; you always know what you are getting into.
