Benefits of Toyota Certifies Used Vehicles from Serra Toyota

A TCUV is the best used vehicle to buy, in part because many of them still have the original manufacturer warranty. When you buy from Serra Toyota, you have other warranties in addition to the original. Even if the vehicle you choose no longer has the original warranty, Serra Toyota offers their own warranties, and you have an option for a lifetime warranty.

Aside from the warranty coverage, there are some other reasons to get a TCUV, beginning with price. When you buy a new vehicle, you pay new vehicle prices, which can be steep. If you want certain options or option packages, then you can plan on hundreds or even thousands more added to the sticker price. When you buy a vehicle at new vehicle prices, you can also expect its value to depreciate considerably; as much as 10% in the first month alone, as much as 35% or more in the first year of ownership. Additionally, when you buy a new vehicle, you need to be prepared to pay a higher insurance rate with higher monthly payments and a lengthy term.

When you buy a TCUV, you get a quality vehicle at a lower sticker price, and depreciation still occurs but at a much slower rate. Because of the lower sticker price, you will also spend less on insurance rates and premiums, and you may also get the vehicle paid off in a shorter timeframe. You can also buy a higher end trim at a lower price with a TCUV model. Perhaps you couldn’t afford a higher-level trim when looking at a new vehicle, but by virtue of being a pre-owned vehicle that higher end trim may now fit within your budget. You’ll have all the options you wanted, but no additional charges tacked on because the sticker price on a TCUV will already include whatever options are installed on the vehicle you choose.
