A pre-owned car, pickup truck, SUV, or minivan that boasts a warranty similar to a brand-new car is known as a Certified Pre-Owned car. A CPO car could have a more robust warranty than when it was new, in some cases. Meanwhile, other dealerships may offer cars, trucks, SUVs, and minivans that they ‘certify’, but it can just be a play on words. Those dealerships may do a certification procedure on pre-owned cars, but it’s not really the same thing. A manufacturer Certified Pre-Owned car is subjected to a strict and detailed examination process, gives a new car experience, and offers perks like lower financing options. The singular place to purchase a legitimate Certified Pre-Owned vehicle is from a dealer backed by the vehicle manufacturer.
Peace of mind is the biggest benefit of buying a Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle. Most CPO vehicles are hand-picked because they’re accident-free, have low miles, and are typically in better condition than the normal used car. Once established as a possible CPO contender, the car will go through a rigorous inspection process. If the inspection procedure finds any issues with the car then they will be repaired before the vehicle is certified. Once the vehicle is certified, it obtains an extended warranty to guard against problems in the future.
Another benefit of a CPO vehicle is that you get a car, truck, SUV, or minivan that appears new, drives new, and comes with a warranty, just without the new-car price. A CPO car is routinely one of the best deals in the pre-owned market since the new-car depreciation has already occurred. While a 3rd party warranty might be available on most vehicles, a CPO warranty is not just more robust but typically more cost-effective.
There are extra perks of purchasing a Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle. Most CPO vehicles are eligible for better interest rates and also longer loan terms. In the rare event that your Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle breaks down, complimentary roadside assistance is yet another likely advantage (and they could have a free loaner car waiting for you). Prepaid maintenance options, a complimentary satellite radio trial, and trip interruption insurance are other benefits that might be available. Check with one of our CPO specialists for more info.
