Why Buy Preowned?

Thinking about buying a used car in Wisconsin? You're not alone. More drivers across La Crosse, Onalaska, Holmen, West Salem, and the greater tri-state area are choosing pre-owned vehicles — and for good reason. At Pischke Motors Nissan, we make buying pre-owned simple, transparent, and worry-free.
The Benefits of Buying Pre-Owned
Buying a pre-owned vehicle is one of the smartest financial decisions you can make. Here's why:
  • Lower purchase price — Get more vehicle for your money compared to buying new
  • Slower depreciation — New cars lose up to 20% of their value in the first year; used cars have already absorbed that drop
  • Lower insurance costs — Pre-owned vehicles typically cost less to insure than new ones
  • More features for less — Upgrades like leather seating, all-wheel drive, and advanced safety technology are far more affordable when buying used
  • Wider selection — Shop across multiple model years, trims, and body styles all in one place
Nissan Certified Pre-Owned: The Best of Both Worlds
Not ready to give up the peace of mind that comes with a new car? Nissan Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) vehicles give you near-new confidence at a used-car price. Every Nissan CPO vehicle includes:
  • 167-point inspection — thoroughly evaluated before it ever reaches our lot
  • Factory-backed limited warranty — so you're covered long after you drive home
  • Roadside assistance — available nationwide, 24/7
  • CARFAX vehicle history report — full transparency on the vehicle's past
  • Special financing rates — CPO vehicles often qualify for competitive financing offers
Whether you're a daily commuter in Onalaska or making the drive from Winona or Rochester, MN, a Certified Pre-Owned Nissan is a smart, reliable choice.
