The ABC's of CPO's: A Used Car Buyers' Guide To Certified
Pre-Owned
What Does Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) Mean? To be certified, cars
must meet age and mileage requirements established by the
manufacturer. Then, they undergo comprehensive inspections at
the dealership. Certified Pre-Owned cars often come with a
warranty and financing options similar to new cars.
Certified and Your Piece of Mind
A sense of security is the main attraction of purchasing a
Certified Pre-Owned model. Although it's secondhand, the
certified used vehicle is a late-model that has been thoroughly
inspected prior to certification. Nearly all manufacturers offer
a certification program, backed by the factory. Other programs
are established by the dealer or another organization, without
factory sponsorship. Some include a vehicle history report from
CARFAX or another source, which provides details on past
accidents, and prior ownership.
Pre Selected and Inspected
Factory certification programs, backed by the car's
manufacturer, have limits on age and mileage. Depending on the
automakers, cars eligible for certification must be no more than
four to six years old, with a maximum of 50,000 to 80,000 miles
on the odometer. Toyota stretches eligibility to seven years,
and Porsche to eight. Dealers follow a checklist of inspection
points: typically, 100 to 160. Because they count those spots
differently, the exact amount isn't important. You just want to
know that the inspection has been comprehensive. With Best Used
Cars PA the inspection is ALWAYS comprehensive.
Roadside Assistance: In many cases, CPO buyers get the added
security of roadside assistance, just like many new-car buyers.
This further reduces the hassle of ownership, because buyers can
rely on the manufacturer to come through in a roadside
emergency.
Buy-Back or Exchange Program:
Building on customer trust, the buy-back or exchange policy on
many certified used cars is often what will have the customer
ready to close the deal. It is a pressure-free way the consumer
can try out the vehicle and an even exchange if a buyer changes his or her mind.
Used Car Warranty: The factory-backed warranty is often the main
reason that consumers choose to go with a CPO rather than a
traditional used car. For many, the slightly higher expense for
a used vehicle with an extended factory warranty is well worth
it. It gives the piece of mind that if something goes wrong, the
manufacturer or dealership will be there to help.
Factory Financing: Because of the added benefits and slightly
higher cost of a Certified Pre Owned vehicle many buyers will
want the manufacturer to offer financing or cash incentives to
add the cherry to the top of this used car sundae. Because the
manufacturer backs a CPO vehicle, the automaker often throws
these incentives or cut-rate financing into the mix to help
close the deal. This becomes a great way for you, the customer,
to save money by taking advantage of these incentives.
Vehicle Inspection and Certification: The certification process
ensures that the vehicle is in good shape and isn't going to
break down any time soon. That's the point of the certification!
process, and every certified pre-owned vehicle, regardless of
who made it, undergoes an inspection and certification.
