A Certified Pre-Owned car is a pre-owned car that boasts a warranty like a new car. A CPO car, truck, SUV, or minivan could even have a longer warranty than when the vehicle was brand-new, in some rare cases. Meanwhile, other dealers may offer cars, trucks, SUVs, and minivans that they ‘certify’, but it can just be a play on words. Those dealerships may do a certification procedure on pre-owned vehicles, but it is not truly the same. A true Certified Pre-Owned car goes through a meticulous and strict inspection process, gives the peace of mind of a new car, and has bonuses like special financing rates. The one way to get a Certified Pre-Owned vehicle is at the vehicle manufacturer’s dealership.
Peace of mind is the main advantage of purchasing a Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle. Most Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles are picked specifically because they’re accident-free, have low miles, and are in better condition than the average pre-owned vehicle. Once established as a possible CPO vehicle, it will undergo a rigorous inspection process. If the inspection process identifies any issues they will be repaired before the vehicle is certified. Once certified, a vehicle obtains an extended warranty to guard against future problems.
Another benefit of a CPO car is that you get a vehicle that seems new, drives new, and has a warranty, but without the new-car price. Since the new-car depreciation has already happened, a Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle is generally one of the best buys in the market. While a 3rd party warranty may be available on most vehicles, a Certified Pre-Owned warranty is not just more robust but usually more cost-effective.
Purchasing a CPO car has extra benefits that buyers might not be aware of. Most CPO cars qualify for better interest rates and even longer loan terms. In the rare instance that your Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle breaks down, courtesy roadside assistance is another possible benefit (and there could be a complimentary loaner car waiting). Prepaid maintenance options, a complimentary trial of satellite radio, and trip interruption insurance are other upgrades that might be available.
