Are Certified Cars Really Up To Standards?
You may be surprised at the results of our hidden inspection of a GM Dealership used cars.
Alexandria, La -- Dec 26, 2005 --

(PRWEB) Dec 26, 2005-- Not only do we the answer to this question, we also have a solution on how you can protect yourself from being a victim. Knowledge is power, and lack of knowledge leaves consumers vulnerable to unscroupulous car dealers and sellers.

We found the answer to this question by performing one of our hidden mini inspections of a GM dealerships used car inventory lot. This mini inspection was done on a Sunday when the dealer was closed, we couldn’t open the doors, trunk, hood etc, other wise we have found even more issues.

During this brief inspection we found 5 late model vehicles that have been repainted to some degree, one 2005 Buick we suspect had major repaint work done, indicating this vehicle may have been in a collision. (Results and pictures posted on our web site at http://www.usedcarwise.com/inspection.html )

Three of these late model vehicles were listed as GM Certified Used Cars, including the 2005 Buick that the entire left side had been repainted. Now if you don’t mind paying thousands of dollars for a vehicle that has been repainted, wrecked or other wise not up to standards, then it shouldn’t matter to you. But if you are like the majority of individuals who want to get their money’s worth, then consider the following.

There is no way for the manufacturers to police (all of) these inspections and guidelines, the decision to sell as a Certifed vehicle is strictly left up to the dealership. With the myriad of inspection points ranging up to over 300 points, one has to wonder if all of these points are adhered during the inspection process.

Numerous reasons abound why this can and does happen, it’s not always a case of fruadulent intentions. To better understand, it’s important to become familiar with the process or scenarios as to why this can and does happen.

Typically a vehicle is inspected by a technician at the dealership, following the manufacturers certification guidelines, he reports any discrepanices to a used car or certfied pre owned manager. Who then decides to repair the vehicle and bring up to standards, or not to repair and sell as an uncertified vehicle.

Because many technicians get paid a commission for each CPO inspection completed, the technician may rush through some of the inspections. Some technicians themselves may not even be familiar with all the guidelines, policies and procedures. Obviously, the quality of the inspections would suffer in such cases.

Another scenario is perhaps an unethical used car manager instructs a technician to look the other way, in regards to an inspection item that he or she believes won’t make a difference, after all who will notice these over looked items, the average consumer may not even be familiar with the policies and guidelines of the manufacturer.
