Can’t Afford to Buy New? Consider a Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle.

NJ State Auto Auction and Sales’ wide selection of used vehicles includes some choice Certified Pre-Owned vehicles. For a lot less money, you can buy a car that feels almost new, even if it has some miles on the odometer.

 

Buying a CPO vehicle also takes some of the uncertainty out of buying a used car because it guarantees that the mechanical condition of the vehicle is up to the manufacturer’s high standards.  CPO vehicles are inspected by factory-trained mechanics to ensure it meets specific standards. The dealership replaces or repairs anything that is worn beyond the limits of the manufacturer’s program.

 

For example, Volkswagen’s CPO program specifies that a vehicle must be no more than five model years old with fewer than 75,000 miles. In addition, it must have been operated by the previous owner for at least 12 months.  A factory-trained Volkswagen mechanic performs a 112-point inspection, repairs any problems, bringing the vehicle as close to new condition as possible. The vehicle then comes with a limited two-year/24,000 mile warranty that covers the powertrain, air conditioning and electrical system, among other things. VW also provides two years of 24-hour roadside assistance. Other manufacturers have similar programs and comparable warranties. Visit your favorite automaker’s website to see the specific CPO details.  

One caution –  the term “certified” can mean different things at different dealerships. Make sure to know if the manufacturer is certifying the car of just the dealership and find out what is covered in the certification and warranty.

CPO programs are perfect for anyone who wants to save money over the price of a new car, but who also wants to drive a near-new car that comes with a solid warranty.  While a little more pricey than non-certified used cars, they can be a good investment.
