A pre-owned car that has a warranty akin to a new car is known as a CPO vehicle. A Certified Pre-Owned car could have a longer warranty than when the car was new, in some cases. Yet, other dealerships may offer vehicles that they ‘certify’, but it can just be a play on words. They may do a certification procedure on pre-owned vehicles, but it is not truly the same. An actual CPO vehicle undergoes a meticulous and rigorous inspection, provides a new car experience, and has perks like special financing rates. The only place to purchase a Certified Pre-Owned car is at a dealer backed by the vehicle manufacturer.
The central advantage of a Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle is peace of mind. Most CPO vehicles are specifically chosen because they have lower mileage, they’re accident-free, and are generally in better condition than the regular used car. Once determined to be a likely CPO candidate, that car will go through a stringent inspection procedure. If the inspection procedure identifies any issues with the car then they will be repaired before the vehicle is certified. Once a car is certified, it receives an extended warranty to guard against issues in the future.
Another perk of purchasing a Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle is that you get a car, truck, SUV, or minivan that appears new, drives perfectly, and has an extended warranty, all without the new-car price tag. A Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle is routinely among the best buys in the pre-owned market because the new depreciation has already happened. 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 Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle has some extra perks that you might not know of. Most Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles qualify for better interest rates and even longer loan term lengths. In the rare possibility that your Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle has issues, complimentary roadside assistance is yet another possible perk (and there might be a complimentary loaner waiting for you). Prepaid maintenance options, a courtesy trial of satellite radio, and trip insurance are all other perks that might be available. For more info, talk to our CPO professionals.
