The Difference Between Certified Pre-Owned and Standard Pre-Owned Cars for Sale
Researching pre-owned cars for sale can be a daunting task. One thing many shoppers find themselves faced with is choosing between a pre-owned vehicle or a Certified Pre-Owned vehicle. But what does this extra word mean in context, and how is a Certified Pre-Owned vehicle superior to a standard used vehicle?
As one of the premier Chevy dealers in Indiana, we decided to put together a short guide to help our customers understand this difference and take advantage of our vast pre-owned selection.
Certifiably Superior – The CPO Advantage
In general, certified pre-owned (CPO) vehicles are held to a higher standard than standard used vehicles. To earn the coveted CPO badge, used cars at our Chevy dealership must pass a rigorous 172-point inspection. Any issues that are discovered during the certification process are either fixed or the vehicle must be disqualified.On top of this Certified Pre-Owned Chevy vehicle must be less than six years old and have 75,000 miles or less on its drivetrain. Chevrolet CPO vehicles also include a scheduled maintenance program that covers two regular maintenance visits. We even offer a free CARFAX® report for all certified pre-owned cars we sell.
Perhaps most impressive are the two warranties that stand behind every Chevrolet CPO vehicle. Drive with confidence thanks to a six-year/100,000-mile powertrain limited warranty and a 12-month/12,000-mile general limited warranty with no deductible. With offers this good, it’s never been an easier decision to own a CPO Chevy.
Used or CPO – Andy Mohr Has You Covered
With so many advantages to certified pre-owned vehicles, you may be wondering why anyone would purchase uncertified used Chevy cars. The truth of the matter is that only a handful of elite vehicles we receive qualify for certification, and many drivers are interested in quality vehicles that live outside the certification parameters.We stand behind every used car we sell, certified or not, but for drivers looking to get like-new quality at used prices, Certified Pre-Owned vehicles are a smart way to leverage a like-new car’s history into savings.
