A used car, truck, SUV, or minivan that has a warranty like a new car is known as a Certified Pre-Owned car. A Certified Pre-Owned vehicle could have a longer warranty than when it was new, in some rare situations. Yet, some dealers may offer cars, trucks, SUVs, and minivans that they ‘certify’, but it’s just a play on words. They might complete a certification procedure on pre-owned vehicles, but it is not really the same thing. A true Certified Pre-Owned car is subjected to a strict and specific inspection process, supplies a new car experience (without the new car price), and offers extras like lower financing rates. The singular way to purchase a true CPO vehicle is from the vehicle manufacturer’s dealership.
Peace of mind is the central advantage of purchasing a Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle. Most Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles are specifically chosen because they have low miles, they’re accident-free, and are usually in better condition than the average pre-owned car. Once identified as a potential CPO candidate, the vehicle will undergo a stringent inspection procedure. If the inspection process finds any issues they will be repaired before the vehicle can be certified. Once a car is certified, it gets an extended warranty to guard against future issues.
Another advantage of a Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle is you get a car that seems new, drives new, and has an extended warranty, all without the new-car price. Since the new-car depreciation has already happened, a CPO car is routinely among the best deals in the market. While you may be able to get a 3rd party warranty on nearly any vehicle, a Certified Pre-Owned warranty is not just more robust but generally also more cost-effective.
There are other advantages of buying a Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle. Most Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles are eligible for lower interest options and also extended loan terms. In the rare possibility that your CPO car has issues, complimentary roadside assistance is another likely benefit (and there might be a free loaner car waiting for you). Prepaid maintenance options, a complimentary satellite radio trial, and trip insurance are other benefits that could be available. See our Certified Pre-Owned experts for more information.
