As a dealership, at Mills Nissan in Edmonton we specialize in selling used cars. Part of our job involves helping our customers find the exact cars that suit their budgets and their needs. In order to help them find the right cars, we ask them many questions - and answer many questions - about their lifestyle, budget, and other preferences. Here are some of our frequently asked questions, which may help you learn more about buying used cars:

How much will I save if I buy a used car?

The amount of money you will save by buying a used car depends on a variety of factors. First, you will need to consider the used car type and model. Some car models are more expensive than others - regardless of whether they are new or used.

Next, you’ll need to consider the age of the car. Generally, older cars are less expensive than newer cars of the same type and model. You’ll also need to consider the accessories and features of the vehicle. The more accessories and features (such as GPS, larger wheels, running boards and more), the more expensive the vehicle, in most cases.

How do I know if the used car is reliable?

This is one of the most popular questions that buyers ask with regards to their used cars in Edmonton. Most dealers, such as us, make every effort to ensure that each used car we sell is reliable. In addition to inspecting the vehicle bumper-to-bumper before we put it on our lot, we also offer a warranty program.

In many cases, used cars in Edmonton may also qualify for a manufacturer’s warranty program if they are able to qualify as certified used cars. In order for a car to be a certified used car, an authorized dealer needs to inspect the car according to the manufacturer’s check list. If the car meets all of the manufacturer’s criteria, then the manufacturer may apply its own warranty on the car.

However, no one can predict some vehicle malfunctions - especially if the vehicle has not been inspect. That’s one of the reasons that we encourage used car buyers to buy through a dealer and no through a private seller.

Can I get a used car in another color or with other features?

Sometimes we have a variety of the same type of used car. However, our used car inventory often depends on what’s available. Some of our inventory is comprised of used cars that had once been leased. Other cars are vehicles that we bought during a trade-in from a seller. Therefore, we cannot always plan which used cars in Edmonton will be on our lot and when. We always do our best to provide the features and accessories that customers are looking for and will sometimes order them from the manufacturer at the customer’s request.
