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!”

2012 Buick Verano

Whew!!!……Sorry, had to catch my breath. The end and beginning of the year somehow seem to be the most hectic times; so much to do and so little time. After that I enjoy digging in and looking forward to what’s to come. There’s plenty to anticipate at Edenton Motors in 2012. For one, Buick is introducing the all new 2012 Verano and we’ll have some hitting the showroom floor real soon. This is an exciting addition to the Buick product line as I’m sure you’ll agree.


The Verano is Buick’s new entry in the “small car” segment, even though it’s not far short from the mid sized Buick Regal. Everything about the Verano speaks to the comfort and luxury Buick customers are accustomed to. The optional leather seats are as good as even the Cadillac line. Throughout the vehicle you’ll find that the designers and craftsmen went out of their way to insure that the Verano is both comfortable and purposeful.

Let’s not forget technology!! The new Buick Intellilink is a high resolution, full color, voice activated, touch-screen radio that connects to Stitcher and Pandora through your compatible smart phone. Never miss any of your favorite programming while on the road. To read more visit http://www.buick.com/tools/intellilink-car-radio.html . This system is truly impressive.

Next is OnStars Remote link application that let’s you stay connected with your vehicle with the help of your compatible smart phone. Unlock your doors, remotely start your vehicle, and even check your gas levels remotely. Enjoy a couple of great free apps that enhance your vehicle ownership experience. All in all these are bonus features of a superior new vehicle. Stop by soon to check out the Verano and other great GM products, we’ll be glad to assist you and answer any questions you may have!

See you soon!

It's Beginning To Look a Lot Like Christmas....

I remember many wondrous Christmas mornings as a child. Getting up, seeing the tree, and all of the colorfully wrapped presents underneath it; wondering which ones might be mine.  What a magical time. That changed a little when I became a teenager. I had a job and was earning my own money, and I got to go shopping for presents for my family members.

Half the fun was actually picking out that “treasure” that my siblings or parents would open come Christmas morning. But by far, the greatest enjoyment came from seeing them open that particular present I had chosen and seeing the look of pleasure on their faces. In retrospect I’m sure some of those “treasures” were treasures mostly in my mind, but they none the less expressed joy from receiving it.

To this day I still feel that way. Don’t get me wrong, (just in case Santa’s watching) I do enjoy receiving that special gift from my loved ones, but that pleasure is still surpassed by watching my loved ones and others, and seeing the looks on their faces as they unwrap those carefully chosen presents.

For too many families this is a particularly difficult time of year. For any number of reasons they are unable to provide this joy and pleasure to their children. The Marine Corp reserve and the Salvation Army sponsor excellent programs to help these families; the “Toys for Tots” (Marine Corp) and the “Angel Tree” (Salvation Army).

Edenton Motors is proud to participate in both of these efforts this year. Our employees, customers, and members of the community participate in providing gifts for those less fortunate children in our town and surrounding area. Why not join us and celebrate this season by giving some pleasure to others, and experience that same warmth that we do when we give to others.

It is our hope that you and yours have a Merry Christmas as well!!
