When A Dealer Says His Car Is Certified, Do You REALLY Believe They've Given It The Checkup They Claim?

We've ALL seen the ads.

This ________ has been 'CERTIFIED' and has been put through the one trillion point checkup which might even include background checks on the former owner.

And because of that, you need to pay them their 'COST' of certifying which is usually an extra $1500 bucks.

A number the SAY can't be negotiated because the 'SERVICE' department is a separate business unit in the dealership.

It all sounds sooo good and people usually step up for a certified car fro piece od mind.

But what we want to know is- Do you REALLY believe the checkup they do before it's classified as a certified pre-owned car is as extensive as they say or do they fast track it and clear an extra $1200 or so on every car?

Tell us what YOU think and share some certified pre-owned experiences you may have had or heard of from friends.
