A pre-owned car, pickup truck, SUV, or minivan that boasts a warranty akin to a new car is known as a Certified Pre-Owned car. A CPO car could have a longer warranty than when it was brand-new, in some cases. Yet, other dealers may offer cars, trucks, SUVs, and minivans that they ‘certify’, but it’s just a play on words. They may complete a certification process on their pre-owned vehicles, but it’s not quite the same. A true CPO vehicle undergoes a strict and detailed inspection, gives the reliability of a new car, and has extras like lower financing options. The singular place to get a true CPO vehicle is at a dealership backed by the car manufacturer.
The biggest perk of getting a Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle is peace of mind. Most CPO vehicles are specifically chosen because they’re accident-free, have lower mileage, and are in better shape than the average used car. Once determined to be a potential CPO contender, the car will undergo a rigorous inspection. If the inspection process finds any issues they will be repaired before the car can be certified. Once certified, a car receives an extended warranty to protect the buyer from issues in the future.
Another advantage of a CPO vehicle is you get a vehicle that appears new, drives perfectly, and comes with an extended warranty, all without the new-car price tag. A Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle is generally one of the best deals on the market because the new depreciation has already occurred. While you might be able to get a 3rd party warranty on nearly any vehicle, a Certified Pre-Owned warranty is not only more exhaustive but typically more cost-effective.
Purchasing a Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle has some extra advantages that buyers might not be aware of. Most Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles qualify for better financing rates and even extended loan terms. In the rare event that your Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle has issues, courtesy roadside assistance is yet another possible benefit (and there might even be a loaner car waiting for you). Prepaid maintenance options, a complimentary trial of satellite radio, and trip interruption insurance are other benefits that might be available. See one of our CPO specialists for more info.
