A used car, pickup truck, SUV, or minivan that features a warranty like a new car is known as a Certified Pre-Owned vehicle. As a matter of fact, in some situations, a CPO vehicle could have a more robust warranty than when the car was new. On the other hand, some dealers may offer vehicles that they ‘certify’, but it is just a play on words. The dealer could complete a certification procedure on pre-owned vehicles, but it’s not truly the same thing. A true Certified Pre-Owned vehicle undergoes a meticulous and rigorous examination process, gives a new car experience, and offers bonuses like lower financing options. The one place to get a CPO car is from a dealership backed by the car manufacturer.
The biggest benefit of getting a Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle is its reliability. Most Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles are hand-picked because they’re accident-free, have lower mileage, and are usually in better shape than the average pre-owned vehicle. Once established as a potential CPO contender, the vehicle will go through a rigorous inspection process. If the inspection identifies any issues with the car then those issues are fixed before the car will be certified. Once certified, the vehicle obtains a warranty to shield the buyer from problems in the future.
Another perk of buying a Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle is you get a car that appears new, drives perfectly, and has an extended warranty, but without the new-car price. Because the new depreciation has already happened, a CPO vehicle is routinely one of the best values on the used car market. While a 3rd party warranty may be available on most vehicles, a Certified Pre-Owned warranty is both more cost-effective and more robust.
There are additional advantages of purchasing a CPO car. Most Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles are eligible for lower financing rates and even longer loan term lengths. In the rare event that your Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle has problems, courtesy roadside assistance is yet another likely advantage (and they may even have a complimentary loaner vehicle waiting). A free trial of satellite radio, prepaid maintenance options, and trip insurance are all other perks that could be available.
