FAQs About Vehicles
Q: Why is test driving a vehicle important?
At Byers Imports in Columbus, Ohio, we will encourage you to take a test drive in your favorite model before we even begin the purchasing process. It is rare, but there are times when you set your heart on a certain model, only for it to not have the features, performance, or overall feel you were hoping for. For certain satisfaction on all counts, including seat heights, interior space, adjustments and more, it is imperative that you take a test drive before signing anything.
Q: What’s the difference between used & Certified Pre-Owned vehicles?
It’s true that used vehicles and Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) models both had previous owners. That said, CPO vehicles have undergone a series of strenuous inspections and tests to ensure that they are only of the highest quality in terms of safety, performance, and overall maintenance. CPO vehicles must also boast a clean Carfax® record, be less than five years old and have a low mileage. They also have an extended factory warranty. Non-CPO used vehicles on our lot are also thoroughly inspected, but do not meet these stringent standards to receive a Certified Pre-Owned designation.
FAQs About Service and Maintenance
Q: How important is vehicle maintenance?
Vehicle maintenance is very important. Regularly maintaining and servicing your investment allows you to catch any minor wear-and-tear issues before they become a much bigger, much more expensive problem.
Q: How do I know when it’s time for an oil change?
We recommend you look through your owner’s manual to know when to next have your vehicle’s oil changed. This is because every model is different, and a variety of factors, such as mileage, play into the answer.
FAQs About Financing and Trade-Ins
Q: Is it possible to buy a vehicle with no credit?
You don’t have to let your limited credit history stop you from purchasing your next vehicle. At Byers Imports, we consider many different factors when figuring your loan options, including employment history, income and financial stability. We encourage you to meet with one of our friendly financing experts today to go over your options.
