There is an inherent hesitation among buyers when it comes to pre-owned cars. We totally get where this comes from. After all, you’re buying a car that was under a previous owner, and who knows the degree he/she took care of the vehicle, if at all. Even with this in mind, much of the conception about pre-owned cars are based on stereotypes and half-truths. Let’s examine and dispel some of these myths. 

Black Friday is a highly anticipated "holiday" in November. We are well aware of the cherished past-time of store hopping the day following Thanksgiving. This is why Heritage Honda Westminster is hosting its own sales event, and ours lasts the entire month of November. 

Most car owners know to periodically check the tire pressure, though they often don’t go beyond that. Wheel alignment is another component that routinely requires your attention. While correction requires professional service, you can recognize the signs of poor alignment based on your car’s performance, especially with respects to the steering. 

The two biggest factors that affect a pre-owned car’s value is its age and mileage. Which of the two, though, has more of an impact? Is a three-year-old car with 50,000 miles considered more used than a five-year-old car with, say, 25,000 miles? 

In a perfect world, every car purchase would be of a new vehicle. However, not everyone has the budget for a new 2019 or 2020 model, hence why dealerships have a pre-owned inventory. Of course, consumers naturally have doubts about cars that already have a few miles under its belt under previous ownership. At Heritage Honda Westminster, we have the Heritage Pre-Owned Advantage+ to give buyers peace of mind and boost their buying confidence.  

When your car requires a replacement part, you have two choices: OEM or aftermarket parts. Car owners tend to automatically opt for the latter due to lower costs. Generally, OEM parts do cost more than their aftermarket counterparts. However, we encourage car owners to look beyond the initial savings; OEM parts are more trusted in the long haul.

The Honda Accord has some stiff competition; this is a given considering the sea of rival sedans in the market. Yet, even in a saturated market, the Honda Accord has remained popular since its inception in 1976. It was actually originally a hatchback, but a sedan version was introduced in 1979. Four decades later, we have the 2019 Honda Accord, which has proven itself with its many accolades.

Tires are often underappreciated, yet they do so much. They go through the rigorous motion that gets your car from point A to point B, and eventually, the wear catches up. Can you recognize the signs of tires due for replacement? You can find out using nothing more than a penny.
