A Certified Pre-Owned vehicle is a used vehicle that has a warranty similar to a brand-new car. As a matter of fact, in some rare situations, a CPO car, truck, SUV, or minivan could have a longer warranty than when it was brand-new. Yet, other dealerships may offer vehicles that they ‘certify’, but it can just be a play on words. Those dealers could complete a certification procedure on pre-owned cars, but it’s not quite the same. A true CPO car goes through a rigorous and specific examination process, provides a new car experience (just without the brand-new car price), and boasts perks like special financing options. The singular place to buy a true Certified Pre-Owned vehicle is at a dealer backed by the vehicle manufacturer.
Reliability is the biggest perk of getting a CPO car. Most Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles are hand-picked because they have lower miles, are accident-free, and are usually in better condition than the regular used vehicle. Once determined to be a possible CPO contender, that car will undergo a stringent inspection. If the inspection procedure identifies any issues with the vehicle then they will be repaired before the car can be certified. Once a vehicle is certified, it obtains a warranty to shield the buyer from issues in the future.
Another advantage of buying a Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle is you get a car that seems new, drives perfectly, and comes with an extended warranty, all without the new-car price. A Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle is routinely among the best buys on the used car market since the new depreciation has already occurred. While a 3rd party warranty may be available on most vehicles, a CPO warranty is both more cost-effective and more exhaustive.
There are extra benefits of purchasing a CPO vehicle. Most CPO vehicles are eligible for lower financing options and even extended loan terms. In the rare event that your CPO vehicle breaks down, complimentary roadside assistance is yet another likely advantage (and there could even be a free loaner waiting). A free satellite radio trial, prepaid maintenance options, and trip interruption insurance are all other perks that may be available. See our CPO professionals for more info.
