A Certified Pre-Owned car, truck, SUV, or minivan is a used vehicle that has a warranty similar to a new car. In fact, in some situations, a CPO car could even have a more robust warranty than when the vehicle was brand-new. On the other hand, other dealers may offer cars, trucks, SUVs, and minivans that they ‘certify’, but it is just a play on words. The dealer may offer a certification process on pre-owned cars, but it’s not truly the same thing. A true Certified Pre-Owned vehicle undergoes a rigorous and meticulous examination process, supplies a new car experience, and offers perks like lower financing options. The only way to get a CPO car is from the vehicle manufacturer’s dealership.
Peace of mind is the main advantage of buying a CPO car. Most CPO vehicles are specifically chosen because they have lower mileage, they’re accident-free, and are usually nicer than the regular pre-owned vehicle. Once identified as a potential CPO vehicle, that vehicle will undergo a rigorous inspection procedure. If the inspection locates any issues those concerns are fixed before the car is certified. Once the car is certified, it obtains an extended warranty to protect the owner from issues in the future.
Another benefit of buying a Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle is that you get a vehicle that seems new, drives new, and comes with an extended warranty, just without the new-car price tag. A Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle is typically among the best buys on the used car market because the new depreciation has already taken place. While you could get a warranty from a 3rd party on nearly any vehicle, a Certified Pre-Owned warranty is both more comprehensive and also more cost-effective.
Purchasing a CPO car has other advantages that buyers might not know of. Most CPO cars qualify for lower interest options and even extended loan term lengths. In the rare instance that your CPO vehicle has problems, complimentary roadside assistance is yet another possible perk (and there could be a free loaner car waiting for you). Prepaid maintenance options, a free trial of satellite radio, and trip interruption insurance are all other benefits that might be available.
