Buying With Confidence

Should I or shouldn’t I? Many people shopping for a pre owned car or truck ask themselves this question before making a decision. Am I buying a vehicle that will last? What kind of assurance do I have that I’m “covered”? Legitimate concerns to be sure.


At Edenton Motors the only vehicles that make it onto our lot are those that have been thoroughly inspected by our service department. If anything does not pass that inspection it is either corrected or it doesn’t make it onto the lot. It’s that simple. In addition to quality pre owned vehicles of nearly every make and model we also offer GM Certified Pre Owned vehicles that come with additional assurances.

First though, how does a GM vehicle get certified? Our technicians put each candidate vehicle through a 172-point vehicle inspection and reconditioning process. Every mechanical function of the vehicle is inspected and tested to insure that it is completely and properly functional. All fluids are inspected, and if necessary, replaced. The interior is inspected for appearance and functionality including all controls for things such as mirrors, seat adjustments, radio controls etc.

The exterior is inspected, including the windshield, mirrors, body condition, headlights etc. This includes everything right down to it being properly detailed. Included in the overall inspection is a road test that looks for things like the shifting, alignment, brakes, turn signals, traction control etc. Everything must pass inspection for the vehicle to become a GM Certified Pre-Owned vehicle. If anything were to fail it would need to be corrected prior to certification.

So, what do you get for this extensive process? Number one would be the 12 month 12,000 mile bumper-to-bumper warranty – just like a brand new car or truck – with no deductible. (This does not include normal wear and tear) Next is a two-year maintenance plan. This includes required oil changes as indicated by the oil life monitor system; tire rotation, and a multipoint vehicle inspection. Finally is the 5year/100,000 mile power train warranty that includes 24/7 roadside assistance and courtesy vehicle plan.

So when you buy a pre owned vehicle from Edenton Motors be assured that every effort has been made to insure that you’re buying a quality vehicle, at a fair price, that you can enjoy the entire time you own it. Find out why we’re “Simply the Best!”
