Should I Shop for a Certified Pre-Owned Car or Truck?
Certified Pre-Owned, What Does It Mean?
A Certified Pre-Owned vehicle is a pre-owned car, pickup truck, SUV, or minivan that has a warranty similar to a new car. A CPO car, truck, SUV, or minivan could even have a better warranty than when the car was new, in some rare cases. Meanwhile, some dealers may offer cars that they ‘certify’, but it is just a play on words. The dealer could offer a certification process on pre-owned vehicles, but it’s not really the same thing. A true Certified Pre-Owned vehicle goes through a rigorous and detailed examination, supplies the security of a new car, and has perks like lower financing rates. The one way to purchase a CPO vehicle is from a dealership backed by the vehicle manufacturer.
Guaranteed Like-New Quality
The biggest advantage of buying a CPO vehicle is its reliability. Most CPO vehicles are hand-picked because they have lower miles, are accident-free, and are usually nicer than the average pre-owned car. Once established as a likely CPO candidate, that car will go through a meticulous inspection. If the inspection process finds any issues those issues are fixed before the vehicle is certified. Once a vehicle is certified, it gets an extended warranty to shield the owner from future problems.
Cost-Effective
Another perk of purchasing a Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle is that you get a car that looks new, drives perfectly, and comes with a warranty, but without the new-car price tag. A Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle is routinely among the best buys in the pre-owned market since the new-car depreciation has already happened. While a 3rd party warranty may be available on nearly any vehicle, a CPO warranty is both more cost-effective and more comprehensive.
Even More Additional Benefits
Purchasing a CPO vehicle has extra advantages that you might not be aware of. Most Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles are eligible for lower interest rates and also extended loan term lengths. In the rare event that your CPO car breaks down, courtesy roadside assistance is yet another likely benefit (and there could even be a complimentary loaner car waiting). A complimentary trial of satellite radio, prepaid maintenance options, and trip interruption insurance are other benefits that could be available.
