Certified CenterWe believe some of the best values we offer are our BMW dealer loaner cars and courtesy vehicles. These are BMW models there are nearly new and have been driven for only a relatively few miles. They're priced as used vehicles and yet because they've never been titled to an individual owner they may qualify for most of the new vehicle incentive programs available from BMW in the month they're sold. Here are some of the other significant advantages you can get with our BMW dealer loaner cars at Karl Knauz BMW in Lake Bluff, IL.
Reconditioning and warranty considerations
In pricing these outstanding BMW models, we take into consideration the shorter duration of the new vehicle limited warranty. In addition, we also make any appropriate price adjustments in light of existing wear and tear issues. Before these BMW models are offered for sale, they're inspected and reconditioned by our BMW technicians until they reach like-new condition. Please be aware that some minor wear marks, scratches or chips on the exterior or interior of these BMWs are considered acceptable and can only be repaired with an additional investment from the buyer.
What exactly is a BMW loaner car?
At our dealership, a select few of our BMW models are used for test drives or when a customer needs transportation while his or her BMW is being serviced in our shop. These are typically brand-new BMW models when they first arrive. After they’ve accumulated a moderate number of miles, we give each one an uncompromising inspection and then we make it available as a gently-used vehicle to valued customers like you. Our BMW loaner cars usually have low mileage since they're being driven around Gurnee or Lake Forest, IL by conscientious customers or dealer personnel for just a short period of time.
Why is BMW an especially good kind of loaner car?
Because our primary business is offering brand-new BMW SUVs and sedans, our courtesy cars are driven by our premium clientele and each one receives professional maintenance from our certified staff of expert BMW technicians. As you can imagine, a BMW customer from a nearby community like Kenosha, WI or Libertyville, IL will treat a BMW courtesy car with a higher level of care so these loaner cars are in outstanding condition. Another significant attraction is that these nearly-new BMW models are priced as used vehicles and yet they’re still eligible for special new car incentives offered by BMW.
These low-mileage vehicles are typically covered by the BMW New Vehicle Warranty
Because our BMW loaner cars have typically been driven for only a few thousand miles, they’re still covered by whatever remains of the BMW New Vehicle Limited Warranty. The basic new vehicle limited warranty starts on the initial sale date of that BMW model and lasts for up to four years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first. The BMW warranty provides comprehensive coverage for any defects in parts and or workmanship. It allows you to get necessary repairs without having to pay for parts or labor. Another waranty component is the rust perforation coverage that's good for 12 years and unlimited miles as well as the federal emission warranty that covers your BMW for two years or 24,000 miles.
