A Certified Pre-Owned vehicle is a pre-owned car that has a warranty similar to a new car. A Certified Pre-Owned car, truck, SUV, or minivan could even have a more robust warranty than when it was new, in some rare situations. On the other hand, some dealers may offer cars that they ‘certify’, but it can just be a play on words. The dealer might do a certification procedure on their pre-owned vehicles, but it is not truly the same. A true CPO vehicle undergoes a detailed and strict examination, provides new car peace of mind (without the new car price), and has extras like lower financing options. The one place to purchase a legitimate CPO vehicle is from the vehicle manufacturer’s dealership.
Peace of mind is the central perk of buying a Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle. Most Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles are picked specifically because they have low miles, they’re accident-free, and are in better shape than the regular used vehicle. Once established as a potential CPO candidate, it will go through a rigorous inspection process. If the inspection identifies any issues those issues are fixed before the car will be certified. Once certified, the vehicle obtains a warranty to guard against problems in the future.
Another advantage of a Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle is that you get a vehicle that seems new, drives like new, and comes with an extended warranty, all without the new-car price. Since the new-car depreciation has already happened, a Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle is routinely among the best buys in the used car market. While a 3rd party warranty may be available on most vehicles, a CPO warranty is not only more exhaustive but usually also more cost-effective.
There are additional benefits of purchasing a Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle. Most Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles are eligible for lower interest options and even longer loan terms. In the rare event that your CPO car has problems, complimentary roadside assistance is yet another possible benefit (and they could have a loaner vehicle waiting for you). A courtesy trial of satellite radio, prepaid maintenance options, and trip interruption insurance are other upgrades that might be available.
