Which is the most reliable pre-owned car? Nissan makes sure to inspect used cars and to provide a certified car. By the end of this article, you’ll understand what makes Nissan a reliable car manufacturer, both in terms of new and used cars.
What does a Nissan certification imply regarding inspections? That’s what your Alma Nissan dealership will explain today.
To get the Nissan pre-owned car certification, a vehicle must pass the 169-point inspection. Done by a Nissan technician, it ensures that your next car’s components are in good working condition.
This inspection process covers all the following elements:
| Interior/Bodywork | Mechanical |
| Airbags Seatbelts Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems Rust Doors and windows Body panels Lighting | Chassis Tires and rims Engine bloc Cruise control Fuel system Electric components Suspension Steering Brakes and shackles Exhaust Ignition system Battery Engine compartment |
A certified used Nissan vehicle is also taken for a test drive to confirm that it works properly. If recalls were made for a particular modal, the necessary updates will be made if not done prior.
You’ll also always have access to the CARFAX Canada vehicle history report. The report provides details regarding the number of owners and accidents, if any.
For a reliable used car, Nissan is on a mission to inspect theirs before resale.
We often say that what makes the difference between a used car and a new one is the presence of warranties.
Just know that you’re also entitled to some warranties for a certified used Nissan vehicle! You’ll benefit from the Nissan reliability with a vehicle that has a good quality-price ratio.
The Car Guide acclaims the strengths of the former Nissan Rogue generation, introduced in 2014:
“Exclusively equipped with a 2.5-litre four-cylinder with 170 horsepower, the Rogue offers attractive comfort, a spacious interior, great versatility and an excellent quality-price ratio.”
Your certified pre-owned Nissan vehicle benefits from these advantages:
The Platinum protection program extends the car warranty for 72 months or 120,000 km, going as far as 96 months or 200,000 km! A 10 days or 1,500 km exchange policy also covers the vehicle.
For all information regarding the warranty, ask your Nissan dealership.
You also get the roadside assistance included in the 72 months or 120,000 km on the drivetrain limited warranty. Need assistance for a flat tire? And if you’re out of gas or your battery died? Nissan roadside assistance is there for you!
You won’t miss out on the reliability of Nissan brand cars with inspected, tested and affordable pre-owned vehicles!
Nissan roadside assistance also takes care of renting a courtesy vehicle for 10 days. However, note that the rental is taken care of if the vehicle is at the dealership for repairs covered by your warranty.
Buying a certified pre-owned vehicle is an interesting choice! Auto123 tells us the advantages of buying a certified car:
“Buying a certified pre-owned vehicle usually means you are assured of acquiring a model that is newer, in better condition, better protected by warranty and likely to have a better resale value down the road.”

With new cars displaying higher prices, used cars are a sensible choice for many consumers who can benefit from vehicle depreciation. With a vast array of options on the market, it can be challenging to make the perfect choice that balances emotion and reason. Your needs, budget, as well as the brand and the driving feel of a vehicle, are among the criteria to consider.
It’s well-known that small cars are more suited to urban drivers, while minivans cater to large families needing space. Where do you fit between these two? First, determine the size you need if you have a family, but also consider your short to medium-term future needs. If you plan to start or expand your family, think about it now to avoid having to change vehicles again soon!
Your driving habits also play a role in your needs. Some cars are ideal for city driving, others for towing loads, and others for off-road driving. What is your driver profile?
When buying a used vehicle, a driver who travels a lot naturally opts for a car with the least mileage possible on the odometer. If it involves short daily trips, this factor is less important.
When discussing budget, the initial cost of the car comes to mind. Whether you have savings or opt for financing, the upfront cost or monthly payments are a crucial criterion.
However, it’s important to consider various aspects that will increase your expenses to varying degrees. For instance, maintenance and the cost of parts vary from one model or brand to another. Also, consider factors like tires, which wear out and often need to be replaced. Carl Nadeau, new official columnist for L’Ami Junior, confirms:
“Different tire sizes will influence the price. If you buy a vehicle with 20-inch tires, it’s going to cost much more than a subcompact with 15 or 16-inch tires.”
This is a detail not to be overlooked and should be factored into your maintenance budget. Finally, fuel consumption remains a characteristic that significantly fluctuates your monthly expenses. If you are on a tighter budget, this is an aspect you cannot afford to ignore, just like the cost of insurance.
Before finalizing your choice on a used car, sitting in it and driving it is the least you can do. Take the time to:
Of course, priorities vary from one driver to another: the important thing is to find the used car that suits you!
