A CPO vehicle is a pre-owned vehicle that has a warranty similar to a brand-new car. A CPO car, truck, SUV, or minivan could have a longer warranty than when the car was brand-new, in some cases. ​On the other hand, some dealers may offer vehicles that they ‘certify’, but it can just be a play on words. The dealer might complete a certification procedure on pre-owned cars, but it is not truly the same thing. A manufacturer CPO car undergoes a strict and specific inspection process, provides the security of a new car (just without the new car price), and offers perks like special financing rates. The singular place to purchase a true Certified Pre-Owned car is at a dealer backed by the vehicle manufacturer.
The main advantage of buying a CPO car is its reliability. Most Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles are specifically chosen because they have lower miles, they’re accident-free, and are usually in better shape than the normal pre-owned car. Once determined to be a likely CPO candidate, that vehicle will go through a stringent inspection procedure. If the inspection identifies any issues those problems are fixed before the vehicle will be certified. Once the vehicle is certified, it obtains a warranty to protect the buyer from future problems.
Another benefit of purchasing a CPO car is you get a car, truck, SUV, or minivan that seems new, drives like new, and comes with an extended warranty, just without the new-car price. Because the new-car depreciation has already taken place, a CPO vehicle is routinely one of the best values on the pre-owned market. While a 3rd party warranty may be available on almost any vehicle, a Certified Pre-Owned warranty is not just more comprehensive but generally more cost-effective.
Buying a CPO car has other advantages that buyers might not be aware of. Most CPO cars are eligible for better financing rates and also longer loan term lengths. In the rare instance that your Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle breaks down, complimentary roadside assistance is another possible benefit (and there might be a free loaner waiting for you). Prepaid maintenance options, a free trial of satellite radio, and trip insurance are all other perks that might be available. See our Certified Pre-Owned professionals for more info.
