A pre-owned vehicle that has a warranty akin to a new car is known as a Certified Pre-Owned vehicle. A CPO vehicle could even have a better warranty than when the vehicle was new, in some situations. On the other hand, some dealerships may offer cars that they ‘certify’, but it’s just a play on words. The dealer may do a certification process on pre-owned vehicles, but it is not quite the same. A true Certified Pre-Owned car is subjected to a specific and strict inspection process, provides new car security, and boasts extras like lower financing rates. The one way to purchase a Certified Pre-Owned car is at a dealership backed by the vehicle manufacturer.
Reliability is the main advantage of purchasing a Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle. Most Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles are specifically chosen because they’re accident-free, have lower mileage, and are usually nicer than the normal used car. Once established as a likely CPO candidate, it will be subjected to a stringent inspection procedure. If the inspection identifies any issues with the vehicle then those issues are repaired before the car is certified. Once the vehicle 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 looks new, drives perfectly, and has a warranty, but without the new-car price. A CPO car is routinely one of the best deals on the market since the new-car depreciation has already happened. While you may be able to get a 3rd party warranty on almost any vehicle, a Certified Pre-Owned warranty is not only more comprehensive but typically more cost-effective.
Buying a CPO car has other benefits that you might not be aware of. Most Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles qualify for better interest rates and even extended loan term lengths. In the rare event that your CPO car, truck, SUV, or minivan breaks down, courtesy roadside assistance is another likely perk (and they could have a loaner vehicle waiting for you). Prepaid maintenance options, a complimentary satellite radio trial, and trip insurance are all other upgrades that could be available. For more info, see our CPO specialists.
