What Is a CPO Vehicle?

A Certified Pre-Owned vehicle is a used car that has a warranty akin to a brand-new car. In fact, in some rare instances, a Certified Pre-Owned car, truck, SUV, or minivan could have a more robust warranty than when the car was new. ​On the other hand, some dealerships may offer cars, trucks, SUVs, and minivans that they ‘certify’, but it can just be a play on words. The dealer might complete a certification process on their pre-owned vehicles, but it is not really the same. A true Certified Pre-Owned car undergoes a strict and detailed examination process, supplies new car reliability, and offers bonuses like lower financing rates. The one place to get a legitimate CPO car is from the vehicle manufacturer’s dealership.


Like-New Condition is Guaranteed

Value Guaranteed

The biggest perk of buying a Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle is peace of mind. Most CPO vehicles are specifically chosen because they have low mileage, they’re accident-free, and are typically nicer than the normal used vehicle. Once identified as a potential CPO candidate, it will go through a rigorous inspection process. If the inspection procedure locates any issues they will be repaired before the vehicle can be certified. Once certified, a vehicle gets a warranty to guard against issues in the future.

More Cost-Effective

Better Bang For Your Buck

Another perk of buying a Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle is that you get a car, truck, SUV, or minivan that appears new, drives like new, and has a warranty, but without the new-car price tag. A CPO car is routinely one of the best values on the market since the new-car depreciation has already occurred. While a 3rd party warranty may be available on most vehicles, a Certified Pre-Owned warranty is both more cost-effective and more exhaustive.

Even More Benefits Included

More Advantages Included

Purchasing a Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle has extra advantages that you may not know of. Most Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles are eligible for better interest rates and even extended loan terms. In the rare event that your Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle has issues, courtesy roadside assistance is yet another possible benefit (and there could be a complimentary loaner vehicle waiting for you). Prepaid maintenance options, a courtesy satellite radio trial, and trip interruption insurance are other perks that might be available. For more info, check with one of our CPO experts.
