Certified Pre-Owned Cars vs Used Cars

What Do Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles and Traditional Used Vehicles Have In Common?

Both certified pre-owned (CPO) vehicles and traditional used vehicles are types of pre-owned cars. This means that they have had at least one other owner before you and some road experience, too. Both types of pre-owned vehicles can be sold at dealerships.

Either a certified pre-owned vehicle or a used car can be late-model vehicles, meaning that they might include more recent technology and features for you to enjoy on the road. The pricing of pre-owned vehicles can be based on things like mileage, condition, trim level, and more, so you'll have plenty of options and flexibility when you begin your search.

The Advantages of a Used Car

As stated above, a used car has spent some time on the road and is looking for its next driver. When you shop for a traditional used car, one of the biggest advantages is the diversity in options. Since used cars have less requirements than certified pre-owned vehicles do, you'll likely have more used car options available. If you have a specific make and model in mind, you can more easily shop for a used vehicle that fits those needs.

Most used vehicles will also come with a vehicle history report. This report can give you information about previous accidents, repairs, mileage, and title status. With this report, you will know exactly what you're getting when you purchase your used vehicle.

Used cars are also great choices because they often offer more options financially. You'll likely see more flexibility depending on the car you choose and your own financial needs. You can even use our online inventory to filter through our available used cars by price.

The Advantages of a Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle

A certified pre-owned (CPO) vehicle is a pre-owned car that has earned its certified title by meeting all of the manufacturers' requirements. Along with meeting specific criteria to receive this certification, a manufacturer-certified technician also thoroughly inspects these vehicles. 

The requirements for CPO vehicles will vary depending on the manufacturer. Each will include specific model age and mileage restrictions, so you'll have an idea of the type of car you're shopping for ahead of time.

One of the best perks of a CPO vehicle is warranty coverage. When you buy a CPO vehicle, you get a manufacturer's warranty. These warranties might be slightly different depending on the vehicle or the dealership, but will provide extra peace of mind while you're out on the road.

In addition to warranties, a certified pre-owned vehicle often comes with other owner benefits, such as roadside assistance or extended warranty coverage.
