Inspection, Certification, and Sourcing
Question:
Prestige Motor Works adds $1,500 in fees to the price of certified vehicles…Why don’t we wrap those fees into the price so consumers can make an apples-to-apples comparison?
Answer:
It’s not apples-to-apples…not even close. Brand new vehicles are identical. Used vehicles are unique. Each was treated, stored, and maintained differently.

Prestige Motor Works |
The “Other Guys” |
Sourcing and “Freight In” |
Vehicles from all over US. The best vehicles and prices. We preview, examine reports, and inspect. No salvage or total loss. Only Clean or “Minor Damage” Carfax. |
Mostly “As-Is” auctions. The cheapest vehicles possible. Rarely examine vehicles before purchase. Mixed vehicle history. Roll the dice. |
Inspection, Certification & Reconditioning |
6-bay facility with ASE mechanic: Detailed inspection, service, repair and recondition. |
Detail it and put a “For Sale” sticker on it. |
Warranty |
3-mo./3k mile limited powertrain warranty. Certified vehicles qualify for extended warranties (VSCs). |
“As-Is” - Good luck. |
· We all want the best deals. The best deal on a used vehicle is the best one for the money, not necessarily the cheapest.
· At retail, what we provide would usually far exceed what we charge.
The Bottom Line: If you can find a better vehicle (year, equipment, mileage, condition) priced less than ours out the door, buy it.
Purchasing and owning a used vehicle should be trouble-free. Every certified vehicle on our lot has undergone a 121-point inspection and comes with a 3-Month/3,000 Mile Powertrain Warranty.
Details on Warranty Terms and Coverages
Most certified vehicles are eligible for extended service plans. Purchase your next used vehicle, and don’t worry about a catastrophic engine, transmission, or drivetrain failure!
