Why Buy Pre-Owned Nissan Models While any driver is excited about getting a new Nissan vehicle, there are lots of benefits to buying a used Nissan SUV, car, or truck as well. A pre-owned model won’t lose as much of its value as quickly as a new model. Here at Bedford Nissan, you can often find recent model years, so you can still enjoy prevalent technology and safety advances. For additional peace of mind, you can consider the advantages of a certified pre-owned Nissan model! Certified Pre-Owned Benefits While of course any pre-owned Nissan vehicle has the benefits of Nissan engineering, certified pre-owned models have additional advantages. In order to qualify for certified pre-owned status, a Nissan vehicle must be under six years old and have less than 80,000 miles. But that’s just the initial cutoff! Every certified pre-owned Nissan vehicle has underwent an in-depth, 167-point inspection. This ensures that these vehicles are of the highest quality. Once a model is certified, it gets the added benefit of a 7-year/100,000-Mile Powertrain Limited Warranty. When you purchase a certified pre-owned Nissan model, you’ll get the peace of mind that comes with genuine Nissan parts. And as an added bonus, you'll have access to  24-hour emergency roadside assistance and a CARFAX® Vehicle History Report.

Everyone who owns a car knows they need insurance to cover Nissan repair service for accidents. But there’s another kind of insurance that’s important for many drivers – gap insurance. more How Does Gap Insurance Work? As you may know, when you buy a new car or SUV, the vehicle will lose a lot of its value pretty quickly. This depreciation happens rapidly when a car no longer becomes new. Since your accident coverage and compensation with car insurance is based on the current value of a vehicle, this can mean that early in a car’s life, an owner can owe more in car payments than their insurance would cover in the case of a serious accident. Of course, it would be terrible to find that on top of a collision experience, you can’t actually get insurance coverage for what you owe, and that’s where gap insurance comes in! While we want all our local drivers to be safe, if an accident does happen, gap insurance does just what it sounds like and covers the gap between what is owed on a vehicle and what regular insurance will cover. Do Bedford Car Owners Need Gap Insurance? There is no one right answer to this question, but there are a few things to consider. Did you buy a brand new Nissan car or a used Nissan SUV? Bedford, OH drivers who purchased a pre-owned model won’t have the same fast depreciation in the first few months of ownership that new car buyers experience. Your down payment and loan term can also affect how large the “gap” is between your insurance coverage and what is still owed on your vehicle. Luckily, our finance experts here at Bedford Nissan can help you run the numbers so you can get the insurance coverage you need. Call us any time to learn more about financing for your new Nissan model!
