Used vs. MINI Certified Pre-Owned

The great thing about buying a car these days is that you have more choices than ever. In addition to a lot of different MINI cars and trims to consider, there are two different pre-owned options available: used and MINI Certified Pre-Owned. Here you’ll learn about what each offers with this guide from MINI of Wesley Chapel.

Deciding on a Used vs. MINI Certified Pre-Owned

Benefits of a Used MINI Model

The biggest advantage of buying a used MINI vehicle concerns price. Used models are typically less expensive than new ones. This allows you to get a great car that fits your budget. If you plan to finance, you may not have to supply as big a down payment, nor will you need to take out a sizable loan. Plus, pre-owned cars typically sidestep much of the depreciation that new cars experience, so they hold their value well.

Benefits of a Certified Pre-Owned MINI Model

While CPO cars are slightly more expensive than used cars, they still cost less than brand-new ones. Certified Pre-Owned MINI vehicles have many of the same benefits as used cars, with some additional perks.

First of all, they can’t be older than five years or have more than 60,000 miles. They are also thoroughly inspected by trained and certified technicians, and then reconditioned with 100 percent genuine MINI parts. Plus, they come with history reports so you will know all about the previous repairs and maintenance the car received, along with any accident history.

Another notable amenity of MINI Certified Pre-Owned cars is that they come with warranty coverage. They get whatever remains of the original four-year/50,000-mile MINI New Passenger Car Limited Warranty, as well as an extra year with no mileage limit. For the duration of the warranty, you will have access to 24-hour emergency roadside assistance for things like a dead battery or flat tire. If necessary, you can also get your car towed to an authorized MINI service center.
