A Certified Pre-Owned vehicle is a pre-owned car that has a warranty similar to a brand-new car. A Certified Pre-Owned vehicle could even have a more robust warranty than when the car was brand-new, in some rare cases. Meanwhile, some dealers may offer cars that they ‘certify’, but it can just be a play on words. Those dealerships could do a certification process on their pre-owned vehicles, but it is not truly the same. A manufacturer CPO vehicle is subjected to a strict and detailed examination, supplies the peace of mind of a new car, and boasts bonuses like special financing options. The only way to purchase a true CPO car is at the vehicle manufacturer’s dealership.
Like-New Value is Guaranteed
Reliability is the central perk of getting a CPO vehicle. Most Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles are picked specifically because they have lower mileage, are accident-free, and are typically in better condition than the normal pre-owned vehicle. Once determined to be a potential CPO candidate, that vehicle will undergo a stringent inspection process. If the inspection process identifies any issues those problems are fixed before the vehicle will be certified. Once the car is certified, it obtains a warranty to guard against future issues.
New-Car Quality for a Lower Price
Another perk of purchasing a Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle is you get a car that looks and feels new, drives perfectly, and has a warranty, just without the new-car price. A CPO car is routinely one of the best deals in the used car market because the new depreciation has already occurred. While a 3rd party warranty might be available on nearly any vehicle, a Certified Pre-Owned warranty is both more cost-effective and more robust.
Added Advantages
Buying a CPO car has additional perks that buyers may not be aware of. Most Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles are eligible for better financing options and also longer loan terms. In the rare instance that your Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle breaks down, complimentary roadside assistance is yet another possible perk (and they may have a free loaner waiting for you). Prepaid maintenance options, a courtesy satellite radio trial, and trip insurance are other perks that might be available. For more info, check with our CPO specialists.
