A used car, pickup truck, SUV, or minivan that has a warranty like a brand-new car is known as a CPO vehicle. A Certified Pre-Owned car could have a better warranty than when the vehicle was brand-new, in some situations. Yet, some dealerships may offer vehicles that they ‘certify’, but it can just be a play on words. Those dealerships may do a certification procedure on their pre-owned vehicles, but it is not quite the same thing. An actual Certified Pre-Owned car undergoes a specific and rigorous inspection process, gives new car reliability (but without the new car price), and has extras like lower financing options. The only way to get a Certified Pre-Owned car is at a dealer backed by the vehicle manufacturer.
The biggest benefit of a Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle is peace of mind. Most CPO vehicles are hand-picked because they have low mileage, are accident-free, and are typically in better shape than the regular used car. Once determined to be a likely CPO contender, that vehicle will be subjected to a rigorous inspection. If the inspection procedure locates any issues they will be repaired before the car can be certified. Once certified, the vehicle obtains an extended warranty to protect the buyer from future problems.
Another benefit of buying a Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle is you get a car that seems new, drives like new, and comes with a warranty, but without the new-car price tag. A CPO car is generally one of the best deals in the pre-owned market since the new-car depreciation has already occurred. While you could get a 3rd party warranty on nearly any vehicle, a Certified Pre-Owned warranty is not only more comprehensive but generally also more cost-effective.
There are other advantages of buying a Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle. Most Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles qualify for better interest options and even longer loan terms. In the rare event that your Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle has issues, courtesy roadside assistance is yet another likely benefit (and there could even be a loaner car waiting). Prepaid maintenance options, a courtesy satellite radio trial, and trip interruption insurance are all other upgrades that could be available. For more info, check with our CPO experts.
