A used car, truck, SUV, or minivan that features a warranty akin to a brand-new car is known as a CPO car. In fact, in some cases, a Certified Pre-Owned car, truck, SUV, or minivan could have a better warranty than when it was brand-new. Yet, some dealerships may offer vehicles that they ‘certify’, but it is just a play on words. The dealer might complete a certification procedure on pre-owned vehicles, but it’s not truly the same. A manufacturer Certified Pre-Owned vehicle is subjected to a rigorous and detailed inspection process, gives the reliability of a new car (just without the new car price), and offers perks like lower financing options. The only way to buy a legitimate CPO vehicle is at a dealership backed by the vehicle manufacturer.
Peace of mind is the biggest perk of buying a CPO vehicle. Most CPO vehicles are picked specifically because they have lower mileage, they’re accident-free, and are nicer than the average pre-owned vehicle. Once determined to be a potential CPO contender, the car will go through a rigorous inspection procedure. If the inspection process identifies any issues with the vehicle then those concerns are repaired before the vehicle will be certified. Once certified, a car receives an extended warranty to shield the buyer from issues in the future.
Another advantage of purchasing a CPO car is that you get a car that looks new, drives perfectly, and has a warranty, but without the new-car price. A CPO car is routinely one of the best values on the used car market because the new-car depreciation has already occurred. While a 3rd party warranty may be available on almost any vehicle, a Certified Pre-Owned warranty is not just more comprehensive but generally also more cost-effective.
Buying a CPO car has additional benefits that buyers may not know of. Most Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles are eligible for better interest rates and also longer loan terms. In the rare possibility that your CPO vehicle breaks down, complimentary roadside assistance is another possible perk (and they may even have a complimentary loaner car waiting). Prepaid maintenance options, a free satellite radio trial, and trip insurance are all other perks that could be available. See our Certified Pre-Owned specialists for more information.
