A Certified Pre-Owned car, pickup truck, SUV, or minivan is a pre-owned car, pickup truck, SUV, or minivan that features a warranty akin to a brand-new car. Believe it or not, in some rare situations, a Certified Pre-Owned vehicle could have a more robust warranty than when the car was brand-new. On the other hand, other dealerships may offer cars that they ‘certify’, but it can just be a play on words. Those dealers might offer a certification procedure on pre-owned vehicles, but it is not quite the same thing. A manufacturer CPO car goes through a rigorous and detailed examination process, supplies a new car experience (without the new car price), and has bonuses like lower financing options. The one place to get a legitimate CPO car is from a dealer backed by the vehicle manufacturer.
Peace of mind is the main benefit of purchasing a CPO car. Most CPO vehicles are hand-picked because they have low mileage, they’re accident-free, and are nicer than the regular used vehicle. Once established as a likely CPO contender, it will undergo a stringent inspection. If the inspection finds any issues those issues are repaired before the car will be certified. Once the vehicle is certified, it receives a warranty to protect the buyer from future problems.
Another advantage of a CPO vehicle is you get a car, truck, SUV, or minivan that appears new, drives perfectly, and comes with an extended warranty, all without the new-car price tag. Since the new depreciation has already occurred, a Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle is typically among the best buys on the used car market. While you could get a warranty from a 3rd party on most vehicles, a Certified Pre-Owned warranty is both more comprehensive and also more cost-effective.
There are additional benefits of purchasing a CPO vehicle. Most CPO cars, trucks, SUVs, and minivans are eligible for better financing options and even longer loan term lengths. In the rare possibility that your Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle has problems, complimentary roadside assistance is yet another possible perk (and there might even be a complimentary loaner vehicle waiting for you). Prepaid maintenance options, a complimentary satellite radio trial, and trip insurance are other upgrades that might be available. For more info, check with our CPO experts.
