A used car that has a warranty like a brand-new car is known as a Certified Pre-Owned car. In fact, in some rare instances, a Certified Pre-Owned car could have a longer warranty than when it was brand-new. Meanwhile, other dealerships may offer cars that they ‘certify’, but it’s just a play on words. The dealer may offer a certification procedure on pre-owned vehicles, but it’s not truly the same. An actual Certified Pre-Owned car undergoes a strict and meticulous examination process, gives new car reliability, and has bonuses like special financing rates. The singular way to get a legitimate Certified Pre-Owned vehicle is from a dealership backed by the vehicle manufacturer.
The biggest advantage of getting a CPO vehicle is peace of mind. Most Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles are picked specifically because they are accident-free, have lower miles, and are generally in better shape than the normal pre-owned vehicle. Once identified as a potential CPO candidate, it will be subjected to a meticulous inspection. If the inspection locates any issues they will be repaired before the vehicle is certified. Once a vehicle is certified, it gets a warranty to guard against problems in the future.
Another perk of purchasing a Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle is that you get a car, truck, SUV, or minivan that looks new, drives like new, and has an extended warranty, just without the new-car price tag. Because the new depreciation has already taken place, a CPO vehicle is routinely among the best deals on the used car market. While you could get a warranty from a 3rd party on most vehicles, a CPO warranty is not just more robust but usually also more cost-effective.
There are additional advantages of buying a Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle. Most CPO vehicles are eligible for lower interest rates and even extended loan terms. In the rare event that your CPO car, truck, SUV, or minivan has problems, courtesy roadside assistance is another likely benefit (and there might be a loaner car waiting). Prepaid maintenance options, a free trial of satellite radio, and trip interruption insurance are other upgrades that may be available.
