A pre-owned car that has a warranty like a new car is known as a Certified Pre-Owned vehicle. A CPO car, truck, SUV, or minivan could have a better warranty than when the vehicle was brand-new, in some cases. Meanwhile, some dealerships may offer cars, trucks, SUVs, and minivans that they ‘certify’, but it can just be a play on words. Those dealerships could do a certification procedure on their pre-owned vehicles, but it’s not quite the same. An actual Certified Pre-Owned vehicle goes through a strict and specific inspection process, supplies new car security, and offers perks like lower financing rates. The only place to get a true Certified Pre-Owned car is at a dealer backed by the vehicle manufacturer.
The main perk of a CPO vehicle is its reliability. Most Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles are hand-picked because they have lower miles, they’re accident-free, and are in better shape than the regular used vehicle. Once identified as a potential CPO contender, the car will undergo a stringent inspection. If the inspection procedure identifies any issues with the car then they will be repaired before the car can be certified. Once certified, the vehicle gets a warranty to shield the buyer from issues in the future.
Another advantage of buying a Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle is that you get a car, truck, SUV, or minivan that looks and feels new, drives perfectly, and has an extended warranty, just without the new-car price tag. A CPO vehicle is generally among the best values in the market because the new-car depreciation has already happened. While a 3rd party warranty may be available on most vehicles, a Certified Pre-Owned warranty is both more cost-effective and more comprehensive.
There are extra advantages of buying a Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle. Most Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles qualify for better financing rates and also extended loan terms. In the rare instance that your Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle has problems, complimentary roadside assistance is another likely advantage (and they may even have a free loaner car waiting for you). Prepaid maintenance options, a complimentary trial of satellite radio, and trip interruption insurance are all other upgrades that could be available.
