Carfax Used Cars: Why This Program Says Something Important About the Dealership
There are plenty of preowned cars to buy in the marketplace. You can even find used cars on Craigslist!. But buying a preowned vehicle that’s not just a good deal but is also reliable for years to come…that’s another matter altogether!
Here at Joe Bowman Auto Plaza, we're a subscribing member of the Carfax Advantage™ program. That means Carfax used cars are what we sell. And that means that used car buyers can purchase with full confidence.
Why Carfax Advantage Membership?
Carfax got their start in 1986 and have been growing ever since. As a vehicle history expert for used car sellers, buyers, and the automotive industry, Carfax is now trusted by dealerships all over North America to help sell quality used vehicles.
Integrated with over 250 inventory and acquisition companies, it is the vehicle history provider of choice for 2,000 automotive websites and 31 manufacturer certified programs.
Over 85,000,000 times a year, car shoppers will access the Carfax Vehicle History Reports™ to learn more about the vehicle they want to buy. But that's not all.
How Carfax Used Cars Empower Consumers
As a Harrisonburg Carfax Advantage dealer, Carfax has become our partner in selling quality pre-owned vehicles. We have unlimited access to Carfax Reports. That means when buying cars, we use the Report to make sure everything checks out.
Our salespeople also access Reports to give to our customers so they, too, can review the information. Plus, every used car we list online states clearly that it is a Carfax vehicle.
Consumers Don’t Have to be Used Cars Gurus
There was a time when consumers had to be wary of buying a car from anybody, privately or with a dealership.
And while we still strongly encourage buyers to be educated about the car they want to buy, Carfax has made it unnecessary to be a used car guru.
In fact, according to the research, 80% of used car shoppers said they prefer working with a Carfax Advantage dealership. It’s no wonder!
A Carfax Advantage dealership:
• Builds confidence—Buyers know that the dealership is committed to selling quality used vehicles.
• Allows buyers to make quicker car buying decisions—The hard work of making sure the vehicle is in very good condition has already been done. Plus, it’s from a source that’s highly reputable.
• Can pull the Reports prior to a car buying decision—This allows buyers to see for themselves the information on the vehicle. Then they can decide whether to move forward with a purchase.
As part of our Carfax membership, Joe Bowman dealership also has unlimited access to the Carfax Auction Quick Check, and the Consumer Information Pack. All of these are valuable tools we can share with used car buyers.
Transparency Inspires Confidence
The huge benefit of Carfax Advantage™ is what it represents and provides to consumers, transparency.
It demonstrates that the dealer is committed to selling high quality used cars. That is certainly true for us here at Joe Bowman Chevy.
Used car buyers can feel more confident and relaxed about working with us. What’s more, consumers will find that our prices for used cars are almost always below what’s recommended by Carfax.
One More Consumer Reassurance
Not only do we sell Carfax used cars, we also include a warranty with each vehicle we sell. Depending on the mileage and year of the vehicle, we provide a 30 or 90-day warranty.
Additionally, we want customers for life. That's why we provide service after the sale:
