Why Buy Certified Pre-Owned Indy

Why Buy Certified Pre-Owned Indy

The Ray Skillman Westside Auto Mall

Consider A Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle From Ray Skillman Westside Auto Mall

Why lose money on a new vehicle when you can have it all in the perfect certified pre-owned vehicle from Ray Skillman Westside Auto Mall?

Have you been shopping for a new car around Indy, but have sticker shock? Have you considered buying a certified pre-owned car, truck, or SUV? Let Ray Skillman Westside Auto Mall show you why you should buy from our incredible selection of Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles instead.

It is only natural to want the latest and greatest car on the market, but sometimes, our budgets or life situations dictate otherwise. It may feel like a low blow when you can’t afford a new car, but there are so many reasons why buying a certified pre-owned car can be a better option. Let Ray Skillman Westside Auto Mall explore with you why buying certified pre-owned is the ideal option.

Save Money

This might sound pretty obvious, but when you buy a certified pre-owned car, truck, or SUV, you can save a significant amount of money vs. a brand new car. When you buy a new car, depreciation occurs the moment you drive that car off of the dealership’s lot. This can be upwards of $5,000. Why not let someone else take that hit so you don’t lose your hard-earned cash. Since you save significantly on the sticker price of a certified pre-owned vehicle, that equates to lower monthly payments for you. You can afford a more upscale vehicle for a lower monthly payment. Did you know that when you buy a certified pre-owned vehicle that it could also save you money on your car insurance? Older model vehicles tend to cost less when it comes to full-coverage insurance, which puts more cash back in your wallet. Check out our certified pre-owned inventory when you visit us the Ray Skillman Westside Auto Mall and see how much money you can save.

Warranty Protection

When you purchase a certified pre-owned car, truck, SUV, or van, you get a warranty from the manufacturer of the vehicle you are looking at. These generally vary by manufacturer but can range from a 12-month/12,000-mile limited vehicle warranty to a 10-year/100,000-mile limited powertrain warranty and continue upwards. Other perks included when you buy a certified pre-owned vehicle are rental coverage, again this varies by manufacturer, but with Kia’s Certified Pre-Owned Program, you get coverage for up to $35 per day. Most manufacturers cover towing costs and roadside assistance coverage up to a maximum total per event too, so if your car breaks down under the certified pre-owned warranty period, you are covered. Some manufacturers offer a FREE CARFAX Report, travel breakdown coverage, and 3-months of SiriusXM service for free. For more information on specific warranty coverage stop by Ray Skillman Westside Auto Center, or contact us online.

Ultra Reliable

A warranty can make buying a certified pre-owned car, truck, or SUV appealing enough, but did you know that every vehicle we list as certified pre-owned has to go through a stringent test to become certified? Each manufacturer has its requirements when it comes to testing these vehicles, and most of them require each vehicle to go through a 150 multipoint inspection (with the exception of Mitsubishi, which has a 123-point inspection). This inspection looks for safety, mechanical, and cosmetic issues on the vehicle. If we find something that needs to be repaired, we make the necessary repairs before certifying these vehicles. If it is not up to par, it doesn’t qualify to become certified pre-owned so you know you are always getting a reliable vehicle. Better yet, all of our service technicians are fully trained and certified by each manufacturer so you know they have the knowledge to make sure you are getting a reliable and quality certified pre-owned vehicle. Visit us at Ray Skillman Westside Auto Mall for more information.

Check Out The Unbeatable Selection At Ray Skillman Westside Auto Mall

Many dealers will have a limited selection of their certified pre-owned vehicles ready for you to choose from, but Ray Skillman Westside Auto Mall is different. We know that you want options, which is why we keep a fantastic selection of certified pre-owned vehicles for you to choose from. Many of these vehicles are lease returns so you know they will have low miles and longevity left for you, but will still save you a significant amount of money. Check out our inventory of certified pre-owned vehicles, then come in and take a test drive. We look forward to meeting you and saving you money. Call, click, or come on down with any questions you may have.

I got a car from Ray Skillman in February 2026, but am just now able to post my review (June 2026). Mark Hudson was my salesman and he was super friendly, funny and got me in my new car! I participated in their Lease Here, Pay Here program after no one in Indianapolis would approve me for a car for either financing or leasing without a co-signer. And I do mean NO ONE. I had been leasing a Chevy Cruze from Ray Skillman since 2023 and my lease was set to end in March 2026. Having moved to a different state in 2024, I was ... Read More

Service for oil change and tire rotation was great. I needed 3 windshield wipers and inquired as to an installation fee. I was very disappointed to find there is an installation fee. I incorrectly assumed installation would be done as a courtesy especially since I purchased my car from you. I purchased the wipers from the parts department. I tried to install them as I've done on previous vehicles I've owned but at 77 years old no longer have the hand strength I once had. My son will install them for me. Nancy Wehrling
