Used vs. Certified Pre-Owned

If you’ve embarked on a search for a new or used vehicle, you’ve likely come across the term “Certified Pre-Owned”. Car salesmen tout the extended warranties and protection plans available on pre-owned vehicles, but are these deals worth it? How do Certified Pre-Owned vehicles compare to standard used cars?

Manufacturers will typically offer a warranty on a new car, but that comes with an expiration date. When the car or truck reaches a certain age or number of miles, that vehicle is no longer covered. Often, your average used vehicle is no longer under the manufacturer’s warranty. Choosing a Certified Pre-Owned vehicle however, comes with the added benefit of an extended warranty coverage, you’ll be covered for longer. Driving one of Melloy Dodge’s Certified Pre-Owned vehicles gets you a 3 month/3,000-Mile (whichever comes first) Maximum Care Warranty, and up to a 7-year/100,000 (whichever comes first) Mile Powertrain Limited Warranty.

At Melloy Dodge, all of our Certified Pre-Owned vehicles go through a rigorous 125-point inspection to meet high mechanical, maintenance, appearance and detail standards. Only the finest vehicles get certified. All Certified Pre-Owned vehicles come with a CARFAX vehicle history report. In addition, we offer roadside coverage including battery jump assistance, gas delivery, lockout service, and towing service, as well as car rental allowance.

When buying a used car or truck, you want to be sure you’re getting a vehicle that will last. Buying Certified Pre-Owned is a great way to get a quality car you can be confident about, for less than new. Come and see our inventory for an amazing deal on a quality car or truck. We’ve got you well taken care of, on the road and off.

4WD and AWD for Safe Winter Driving

Recently, Albuquerque had its first snowfall of the year. As you would expect, there were plenty of road closures and major and minor accidents. When New Mexico gets snow and we see icy road conditions, even the most experienced driver can feel a bit nervous. But you can drive in winter weather with confidence in a 4WD or AWD vehicle from Melloy Dodge!

Four-wheel drive vehicles have superior off-road capability. Built for handling well in snowy conditions, 4WDs are well equipped for winter driving conditions. At Melloy Dodge, we have Dodge Journeys, Dodge Durangos and RAM trucks available with four-wheel drive capability.

All-wheel drive is another great option. Although not designed for off-road use, AWD vehicles provide excellent grip in all weather conditions, but especially on snow-covered roads. Incredible handling makes AWD an obvious choice for performance-minded drivers. At Melloy Dodge, we are proud to offer the Dodge Challenger, the world’s first and only AWD American muscle coupe, as well as many other AWD vehicles.

Stay safe this winter. Make sure the vehicle you drive is fit to meet the challenges of winter driving, and remember to never take unnecessary risks in a 4WD or AWD vehicle. Visit Melloy Dodge to see our selection of AWD and 4WD vehicles today!
