A Certified Pre-Owned vehicle is a pre-owned car that boasts a warranty similar to a new car. Believe it or not, in some rare situations, a CPO car, truck, SUV, or minivan could even have a longer warranty than when the vehicle was new. Meanwhile, other dealerships may offer cars, trucks, SUVs, and minivans that they ‘certify’, but it can just be a play on words. Those dealers may do a certification procedure on their pre-owned cars, but it is not quite the same. A manufacturer Certified Pre-Owned vehicle is subjected to a rigorous and detailed inspection process, gives a new car experience (without the brand-new car price), and offers extras like lower financing rates. The singular place to purchase a legitimate Certified Pre-Owned vehicle is at a dealership backed by the car manufacturer.
The central advantage of purchasing a CPO vehicle is peace of mind. Most CPO vehicles are picked specifically because they’re accident-free, have lower miles, and are typically nicer than the average pre-owned vehicle. Once established as a possible CPO vehicle, that car will be subjected to a rigorous inspection procedure. If the inspection locates any issues with the vehicle then those problems are fixed before the vehicle is certified. Once certified, the car gets a warranty to guard against issues in the future.
Another advantage of purchasing a Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle is that you get a vehicle that looks and feels new, drives perfectly, and comes with a warranty, just without the new-car price. A CPO car is generally among the best values on the pre-owned market since the new depreciation has already occurred. While you could get a warranty from a 3rd party on nearly any vehicle, a Certified Pre-Owned warranty is both more cost-effective and more exhaustive.
Purchasing a Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle has some additional perks that buyers may not know of. Most Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles are eligible for better interest rates and also longer loan term lengths. In the rare possibility that your CPO car breaks down, complimentary roadside assistance is another likely advantage (and they could have a loaner car waiting for you). Prepaid maintenance options, a courtesy trial of satellite radio, and trip interruption insurance are other upgrades that might be available.
