The Mazda Certified Pre-Owned Program
Drivers who buy pre-owned Mazda vehicles from our location enjoy some meaningful benefits. When you purchase a previously owned automobile, you’ll often pay less than you would if you bought a comparable new car. It’s likely that you’ll pay less to insure and register your vehicle as well. Buying a pre-owned automobile is a great way to sidestep a lot of the rapid depreciation that occurs when a car is new, too.
While those benefits are certainly significant, you can enjoy even more if you get one of the Mazda Certified Pre-Owned cars in our inventory. Here are some of the benefits you’ll enjoy when you purchase one of our Mazda Certified Pre-Owned vehicles:
- Warranties: Your vehicle will be covered by a Seven-Year/100,000-Mile Limited Powertrain Warranty and a 12-Month/12,000-Mile Limited Vehicle Warranty.
- Savings: You won’t have to pay for covered repairs made at any qualified Mazda dealership located in the United States because your coverage has no deductible.
- Peace of Mind: You’ll have plenty of confidence in your Mazda Certified Pre-Owned car because we’ll give you a free AutoCheck® vehicle history report and our factory-trained technicians will have performed a 160-point inspection of your automobile.
- Roadside Assistance: You’ll have access to complimentary roadside assistance throughout the U.S. and Canada for however long your Limited Powertrain Warranty remains in effect.
As if all of that wasn’t enough, you’ll also get a free three-month trial of SiriusXM™ radio if you’re Mazda Certified Pre-Owned car is eligible for it. To see if the Mazda Certified Pre-Owned vehicle you’re interested in is eligible for this benefit, contact our Owensboro, KY Mazda dealership now.
While it may be hard to believe, all of the benefits mentioned above are transferable if you sell your Mazda Certified Pre-Owned car, which can help you get maximum value for your automobile. To test drive one of our models, visit Champion Mazda today.
Will Gap Insurance Cover That?
When you visit our location, you’ll see that we have pre-owned Mazda vehicles lined up right next to automobiles produced by other manufacturers in our previously owned car inventory. You’ll also see that we have the latest Mazda models in our new car inventory, such as the 2019 Mazda CX-9 and the 2018 Mazda CX-5.
Whether you’re interested in a new or pre-owned vehicle, you might want to buy gap insurance. If an incident totals your automobile, gap insurance will cover the difference between what you still owe your lender and the amount you receive from your standard insurance policy.
Your standard insurance policy will only pay you for the value of your automobile, not necessarily what you paid for it or the amount you still owe your lender. When there’s a difference between the balance on your auto loan and the current value of your car, that’s when gap insurance kicks in.
As an Owensboro, KY Mazda dealer, we can tell you that gap insurance will cover more than accidents that end up totaling your vehicle. Gap insurance will also kick in if your automobile is stolen and remains missing.
Gap insurance will not cover any of the costs related to property damage, bodily injuries, or death if an accident occurs. If your car has mechanical problems, such as failed brakes or engine troubles, your gap insurance policy will not cover any of the resultant costs. Even if your car is stolen or destroyed, your gap insurance will not pay any portion of your standard auto policy’s deductible.
If you’re trying to decide if gap insurance is right for you, we can help. Head over to Champion Mazda to talk to the experts in our Mazda financing department now.
What Are Your Car Resolutions for the New Year?
Even if you haven’t made any resolutions for the New Year yet, it’s not too late. While you may put getting into better physical condition or learning to cook a new dish on your list of resolutions, we think you should add a few other things as well.
First, we suggest putting getting a new Mazda vehicle on the list of things you want to achieve in 2019. If you have an interest in a vehicle like the great-looking 2019 Mazda CX-3, you’ll have the option to buy or lease the crossover when you visit our Mazda dealership.
Choosing between buying and leasing can be difficult for some drivers. Luckily, we can help you make the choice that’s best for you just like we can help you find the Mazda car that will support your lifestyle and fit your budget the best. To learn more about the lease and finance options that are available to qualified motorists, visit or contact our Mazda financing department.
We also recommend you add keeping up with your car’s routine maintenance to your list of New Year resolutions. Adhering to your vehicle’s routine maintenance schedule enables you to achieve several things. It can preserve your car’s resale value, for example. Sticking to your automobile’s routine maintenance schedule will also prolong your car’s life and keep your cumulative service costs lower than they would be without regular service.
If your vehicle is due for some routine maintenance or it’s in need of a repair, bring your automobile into our Owensboro, KY Mazda service center today!
No matter what car resolution you add to your list, we can help you achieve your goal. Visit Champion Mazda to see how well-prepared we are to help you realize your auto resolutions now.
Mazda Premium Becoming a Reality
It was earlier this month when the brand we represent showed off the 2019 Mazda3 at the Los Angeles Auto show. And that’s when it happened: that was when everyone knew that Mazda Premium is becoming a reality.
What is Mazda Premium? According to a recent press release from the Mazda brand, Mazda Premium “means gaining customers’ trust and becoming an essential part of their lives by pursuing and forever refining the distinctive driving pleasure that is unique to the Mazda brand.”
The all-new Mazda3 is expected to elevate motorists’ driving pleasure in pursuit of achieving Mazda Premium. In daily instances, the vehicle will delight drivers as they run errands, commute to and from work, and take their families on road trips. The sedan will transport passengers in comfort and style as they relax and enjoy a ride that feels perfectly natural. The car’s appearance will captivate drivers and passengers alike, making them eager to go for another ride the moment they exit their Mazda3.
Enjoying a genuinely satisfying experience when you own, drive, or just spend time in a Mazda vehicle – that is what the Mazda brand considers “driving pleasure” to be. That is what will make Mazda Premium a reality.
As an Owensboro, KY Mazda dealer, we can’t wait for Mazda Premium to become more of a reality than it already is. It makes us proud to represent an automaker that’s so committed to enhancing the driving experience for both motorists and their traveling companions.
It makes us even prouder that the car maker is following through on its Sustainable 2030 vision, which the brand shared last year. This long-term vision will guide the Mazda brand as it searches for solutions to challenges facing the planet, society, and people located throughout the world.
Visit Champion Mazda to look through our new Mazda vehicles so we can tell you more about Mazda Premium today.
Follow Our Winter Driving Tips
With winter right around the corner, you may ask yourself, “Is there a Mazda dealer near me who’ll share some winter driving tips with me?” If you’re not used to the wintry conditions we typically experience near our Owensboro, KY Mazda dealership, you may be even more desperate to pick up some tips that can help you stay safe when the roads are covered with snow or ice.
Luckily, you can rely on us for some advice about driving in wintry weather. Here are some winter driving tips you can put into practice to stay safe throughout winter:
- Have your vehicle serviced: In general, it’s wise to have your car serviced before winter arrives. Doing this will ensure your automobile is ready to get you through winter without incident.
- Pick up parts: While it’s always a good idea to let our factory-trained technicians take care of any maintenance or repairs your vehicle needs, you can still pick up a few parts you can install yourself. Winter wipers, extra wiper fluid, and all-weather floor mats are a few things you can order from our Mazda parts center near Evansville, IN.
- Adjust your following distance: Even if you can’t remember taking driver’s ed, you probably still recall being told that you need to maintain a following distance of at least three to four seconds when the roads are dry. When the roads are covered with snow or ice, you should increase your following distance to a minimum of eight to 10 seconds or more if you’re a new driver or you lack experience driving in wintry conditions.
- Stay off the roads: If the weather’s bad and you don’t need to go anywhere, avoid taking chances and stay home until the roads are clear.
For more advice about driving during the winter, contact Champion Mazda today.
Tips for Winterizing Your Vehicle
If you’ve lived near our Owensboro, KY Mazda dealership long enough, you know how rough winter can be on cars in this area. While winter does take an invariable toll on automobiles in many locations throughout the country, you can minimize the season’s impact by winterizing your vehicle.
Winterizing is a process that includes some things you can do yourself and other tasks you should let our factory-trained technicians handle. The first thing you can do is put an emergency kit in your car. Here are a few of the things you should consider putting in your emergency kit:
- Blanket
- Flashlight
- Non-perishable snacks and beverages
- Jumper cables
- Reflective triangles or flares
- Collapsible shovel
You should also order a few things from our Mazda parts center. Winter windshield wipers and all-weather floor mats are two items you should order. Winter wipers are specially designed to prevent ice from building up on them. All-weather floor mats will protect your carpeting from wintry elements.
Once you’ve done those things, you can sit back and let our talented technicians handle the rest. When you bring your vehicle into our Mazda service center, we’ll test your battery to make sure it has enough life left to get you through winter. We’ll also test your heating system, defroster, and four-wheel drive system if your vehicle has one.
We’ll inspect your tires and rotate them if they’re due for a rotation. If you want, we’ll gladly install winter tires on your car so you can benefit from extra traction all winter long. We’ll also look over your belts and hoses, take a look at your brakes, and top off your automobile’s critical fluids.

Before you have your automobile inspected, you should wash your car and have it detailed. You should also return all of your vehicle’s original components to your car, such as your car’s spare tire and owner’s manual.
