Escondido, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/31/2011 -- BMW of Escondido carries a large new car selection for auto consumers in the Escondido and San Diego areas looking for cars. In addition, the BMW dealer also offers a great selection of Certified Pre-owned BMW cars and SUVs.

Purchasing a certified pre-owned BMW vehicle is a smart decision. For a used BMW vehicle to become certified, it must go through a comprehensive certification process. Only late model BMWs with less than 60,000 miles are eligible to be certified. Once a vehicle qualifies, it must then undergo a thorough inspection by a BMW-trained technician who checks everything from major components such as engine performance to minor details such as cup holders. Not only does a Certified Pre-Owned BMW have to meet every item on the inspection list, it also comes with a CARFAX® Vehicle History Report™ so the consumer knows the vehicle’s history.

Certified Pre-Owned BMW vehicles are also protected. The vehicles are covered by 2 year/50,000 mile Certified Pre-Owned BMW Limited Warranty that takes over when the original 4 year/50,000 mile New Vehicle Warranty expires. So certified vehicles will be covered up to 6 years/100,000 miles, whichever comes first. Lastly, every Certified Pre-Owned BMW comes with BMW Roadside Assistance which provides travel protection 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
