What Makes a Vehicle Certified?

Certified pre-owned vehicles offer a unique blend of quality and assurance that standard used cars often cannot match. To earn the certified label, a vehicle must pass rigorous standards and meet specific criteria set by the manufacturer.

• Age and mileage limits: Most CPO programs require vehicles to be under six years old and have fewer than 85,000 miles. These criteria ensure that the vehicle is still relatively new and in good condition.
• Thorough inspections: Certified vehicles undergo a multi-point inspection to assess their condition. This includes checking key components such as the engine, transmission, brakes, and suspension. The comprehensive inspection process guarantees that every part of the vehicle is functioning correctly and safely.
• Maintenance and repairs: Any issues identified during the inspection are addressed with repairs or replacements using genuine parts so the vehicle meets high standards of performance and safety. Vehicles must have a clean title with no major accidents reported.

Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles vs. Standard Used Cars

Understanding the difference between certified pre-owned and standard used vehicles can help you make an informed decision. Certified pre-owned vehicles undergo a meticulous inspection process to meet the high standards set by the manufacturer. These vehicles are typically newer, with fewer miles, and come with added benefits that standard used cars may not offer, like:

• Warranty coverage: CPO vehicles are backed by manufacturer warranties that extend beyond the original new-car warranty, offering peace of mind for years to come.
• Eligibility for leasing: Some CPO programs offer leasing options, providing greater flexibility for those who prefer leasing over buying.
• Lower cost than new vehicles: CPO cars are generally priced lower than new cars, providing significant savings while maintaining high quality.
• Recent model years: CPO vehicles are usually less than five years old, which means you get a nearly new car at a reduced price.
• Low mileage: These vehicles often have less than 90,000 miles, which means they are still in excellent condition and have plenty of life left.
