If you are ready to buy a “new-to-you” car, there are different ways to go about it. You can scour the newspaper for a private seller, you can go to an independent used car dealer, or you can put your trust in Mazda dealers in Mokena.
Your immediate problem is to decide which of the three options are best for you.
Used cars are not abused cars
Many used car dealers would not consider buying from any source other than a name-brand dealership; they know that used cars sold by dealers are better maintained and in better condition. Mazda dealers in Mokena have a great deal at stake. Their future is tied directly to selling cars that will not develop major problems, and if a problem does arise, they can attend to it.
Dealers are justifiably worried about their reputation in the area; there is a lot of completion. Independent dealers are not as concerned, and in many cases, a private seller is not concerned at all. New car dealerships that also sell used cars are particular about what cars they will put on their lot; they only will sell used cars of the highest quality.
Certified pre-owned cars:
Even though Mazda dealers are very particular about the used cars they sell, the truth is, they are used, and even a used car in excellent condition can develop future problems.
Dealers, and only dealers, also can offer certified pre-owned cars. CPO vehicles are subjected to a multi-point inspection and offered with a factory warranty. Dealerships take many cars in trade; many are too old or have too many miles on them to qualify as a certified pre-owned vehicle. Independent used car dealers may say that one of their cars is certified, it is not, only cars backed by the manufacturer and sold by a recognized dealer can be sold as such.
Mazda dealers in Mokena have a goal, they want to provide their customers with the best cars and the best buying experience possible. Hawk Mazda of Joliet has an impressive inventory of new, used and CPO vehicles to choose from.
