Why Buy a Certified Pre-Owned MINI

November 14th, 2024 by

Mini Dealership NJMINI has long been an expert at packing luxury features, tech, and sporty performance into one compact package. Some MINI models may look small, but they offer an incredibly spacious and luxurious cabin along with all the tech features you could ever want.

While MINI does come in on the lower price range of luxury vehicles, buying a brand-new car may not be an option for everyone. Fortunately, you can still score yourself a MINI through certified pre-owned models. A certified pre-owned is not just any old used car, as it must pass a set of strict manufacturer standards to earn this tag. Let’s take a look at what makes MINI-certified pre-owned models an excellent choice if you’re in the market.

The Advantages of Buying a Certified Pre-Owned MINI

Strict Manufacturer Criteria

To qualify as a certified pre-owned, a vehicle must pass a strict set of criteria determined by MINI. For a vehicle to even be considered, it must be five years old or newer and have less than 60,000 miles. Additionally, it must:

  • Receive a detailed inspection from a MINI-trained technician.
  • Go through a comprehensive road test.
  • Use genuine or original MINI parts.
  • Have an up-to-date Carfax or AutoCheck report.

After all this, MINI also offers an additional warranty on their CPO vehicles, which “provides comprehensive coverage for up to 6-year/unlimited mile warranty from original in-service date, including 24/7 Roadside Assistance plan.” This helps to provide peace of mind for anyone buying a CPO MINI.

The Best Vehicles at a Deal

Since CPO vehicles are still pre-owned, buyers can often get a much better price on them than they ever would buying brand new. This allows buyers to find incredible MINI models and other luxury vehicles at incredible deals.

Find Discontinued Models That Are No Longer Available

Another great benefit of shopping for CPO vehicles is that you can often find MINI models that are no longer available to buy brand-new. All vehicle manufacturers will change and update their lineup as the years go on, which sometimes means that some fan-favorite models will be discontinued. Fortunately, you can often find these models or your desired trim package as part of the CPO inventory.
