Certified Pre-Owned (CPO)

A certified pre-owned car's perceived quality often brings a set of higher expectations from buyers. Here are a few examples of when a CPO car didn't quite live up to the promised "like new" status. And we have some tips on how to resolve these issues.

Because of all the benefits they bring, certified pre-owned vehicles are some of the most sought-after used cars out there. However, those benefits are not uniform across every brand. We've taken a look at individual programs to determine which provide CPO benefits that really stand out.

A great alternative to a new car. For a car to be certified pre-owned by the manufacturer, a trained mechanic ensures that it qualifies for the program and measures up mechanically. The dealership makes needed repairs and adds a limited warranty. And you get an almost-new car that saves you money.
