mafi-zed · Jul 28, 2007

Wilo300zx · Jul 28, 2007

Yeah i still have mine

I still have the 'Certified by Nissan' sticker on my 300zx :zlove:
Its a mustard color with black writing in a triangular shape, right mafi-zed?
Is it a J-Spec only sticker or did the Aus 300zx's have them too?
What does it actually mean? That the car passed or current safety and engineering measures at the time of manufacture?

Any feedback would be appreciated

The Pros and Cons of Certified Cars
by Mark Bilek

It's no secret that the cost of a certified pre-owned vehicle is higher than that of a regular used car. Certified pre-owned vehicles cost more than traditional used cars for a variety of reasons. However, for many buyers the benefits of CPO cars outweigh the additional cost.

Each buyer has to decide for him or herself if CPO is the way to go. But if reducing stress, eliminating question marks, and walking away with peace of mind is the buyer's goal, then a CPO vehicle should be strongly considered. One major point a buyer needs to keep in mind is that certified cars cost more than used, but less than new.
The Pros

1. The Warranty
Ask owners of certified vehicles why they made their purchase and the number-one reason is usually the factory-backed warranty. For many people, paying an extra $1000, $2000, or more for a used vehicle with an extended factory warranty is well worth the expense.

2. Vehicle Inspection and Certification
CPO buyers are also willing to pay extra to ensure that the vehicle they are purchasing isn't going to break down any time soon. That's the point of the certification process, and every certified pre-owned vehicle, regardless of who made it, undergoes an inspection and certification.

3. A Buy-Back or Exchange Program
Building on customer trust, the buy-back or exchange policy on many certified used cars is the deal closer. It's a pressure-free way the consumer can try out the vehicle, and even exchange it if a buyer changes his mind. This is often the final straw that offsets the additional cost of a certified vehicle.

4. Factory Financing or Incentives
Because certified cars are usually among the most expensive on the lot, many buyers need a little financing help or cash incentives to step up to the plate. Because the manufacturer backs a CPO vehicle, the automaker often throws incentives or cut-rate financing into the mix to help close the deal.

5. Roadside Assistance
In many cases, CPO buyers get the added security of roadside assistance, just like many new-car buyers. This further reduces the hassle of ownership, because buyers can rely on the manufacturer to come through in a roadside emergency.
The Cons

1. Cost
A CPO vehicle can cost several thousand dollars more than a similar used car. In many cases the only difference is the factory warranty, which can be purchased elsewhere, and often for less money.

2. What Does "Certified" Mean?
Each manufacturer defines "certified" differently. It's up to the consumer to get the certification details on paper. So far, only the state of California has enacted a law protecting consumer rights. The law states that vehicles with structural damage, mechanical damage, or are lemon-law buy backs, salvaged vehicles, vehicles with tampered odometers, and those that have been damaged in a flood are disqualified for CPO programs.

3. No Guarantee
Just because a vehicle is certified doesn't mean that it will be trouble free. Like any new or used vehicle, you run the risk of a major repair right around every corner. The warranty programs of many CPO vehicles will cover these repairs, but sometimes they are excluded, so it pays to read the fine print.

4. Availability
Because the manufacturers back the certified programs, you have to go to a participating dealer to get the vehicle you might be considering. In many cases, that isn't as convenient as the used-car lot down the block or the classified ads. Also, you may have to look far and wide for a certified version of the car you want.

Factors like warranty, certification, and cost will always differ from car to car. Educated consumers who know the difference between certified used cars and traditional used cars will be able to make the wisest choice when it comes to purchasing a new vehicle, and deciding whether or not the markup is worth it.

i see....well mines a j-spec, not certification for me

sandeep · Jul 28, 2007

I got mine too Mine's also a gold/mustard colour.
I was thinking about removing it when I put the forum stickers on but decided to keep it.
Anyone got any other Jap stickers on their cars? I've got a parking permit on the back window which I kept because it looked alright. I removed the old Jap rego and service stickers. There's also a Nismo sticker on the front bar, and Evolution Exhausts plate on the back bumper. Didn't want to take these off incase I pulled off paint.
