A Certified Pre-Owned car is a pre-owned car that features a warranty akin to a brand-new car. Believe it or not, in some rare instances, a CPO car, truck, SUV, or minivan could have a more robust warranty than when the car was new. Yet, other dealerships may offer cars, trucks, SUVs, and minivans that they ‘certify’, but it is just a play on words. Those dealers could offer a certification process on pre-owned cars, but it’s not quite the same thing. A manufacturer CPO car goes through a specific and strict inspection, provides a new car experience (but without the new car price), and boasts perks like lower financing rates. The only way to buy a true CPO car is at the vehicle manufacturer’s dealership.
The biggest perk of purchasing a Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle is peace of mind. Most CPO vehicles are hand-picked because they have low mileage, they’re accident-free, and are generally in better shape than the regular pre-owned vehicle. Once established as a potential CPO vehicle, the car will undergo a stringent inspection process. If the inspection process identifies any issues those concerns are fixed before the vehicle can be certified. Once certified, a vehicle receives an extended warranty to protect the owner from issues in the future.
Another benefit of purchasing a CPO car is you get a car that seems new, drives perfectly, and has a warranty, all without the new-car price. A CPO vehicle is routinely one of the best buys on the market since the new-car depreciation has already happened. While you might be able to get a warranty from a 3rd party on nearly any vehicle, a Certified Pre-Owned warranty is not only more exhaustive but generally more cost-effective.
Buying a CPO vehicle has extra advantages that buyers may not know of. Most Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles qualify for lower interest rates and even extended loan terms. In the rare instance that your CPO car, truck, SUV, or minivan has problems, courtesy roadside assistance is another likely benefit (and they may even have a loaner vehicle waiting). A courtesy trial of satellite radio, prepaid maintenance options, and trip insurance are other perks that could be available. For more information, talk to our CPO professionals.
