Frequently Asked Questions

Feldman CDJR of Clarkston
Dealership FAQs:

Q: What is the difference between buying and leasing a vehicle?
A: Monthly payments tend to be cheaper with a lease than when financing a car because leasing pays for the depreciation of the vehicles versus the price of the vehicle itself. Leasing a car is like renting it for a fixed term, while you make monthly payments then return it at the end of the lease. Buying a car means you finance the vehicle with the help of an auto loan.

Q: Can I sell my car here even if I'm not buying a car from you?
A: 
Yes, we accept vehicles regardless of your plans to buy from us or not. We will either give you a cash offer or you can put it towards the total of a new vehicle from our inventory!

Q: What are the COVID safety practices like here?
A:
Our customers and workers safety are our top priority, which is why we are following current CDC guidelines and protocols. Feel free to contact us for more information on current guidelines!

Q: What's the difference between used and certified pre-owned vehicles?
A:
While both used and certified pre-owned vehicles are both technically used, CPO vehicles have to fall within certain guidelines to be labeled as such. Some guidelines are that the vehicle must have mileage under a certain number, vehicle should be under a certain amount of years old, it must have an almost spotless vehicle history report, and successfully passing a multi-point inspection.

Q: What should I look for when test driving a car?
A:
We recommend making a checklist that includes but is not limited to comfort, functionality, and technology, as well as overall driving experience. Creating a list of things to make note of when test driving a car, will help you get a better sense of whether the model matches your driving style and buying criteria.
