If you’ve been wondering what is the difference between used and certified pre-owned, you’re in the right place. Here’s a brief answer on CPO vs. Used before we jump into specifics: used vehicles are just as they sound: used. Certified Pre-owned vehicles are used cars that have undergone restoration to meet their brand’s unique requirements to achieve “like-new” quality.
Keep reading for more information about the advantages of both segments. Once Caledon drivers have chosen which best suits their interests, explore our pre-owned vehicle specials before you fill out a pre-approval and schedule for a test drive.
As Orangeville drivers know, used vehicles were previously driven by other owners, and thus, they’re more affordable. They have their own advantages for drivers on a budget:
Now to answer to compare CPO vs. Used in greater detail. Certified Pre-owned vehicles are used cars that must meet specific standards set by their make. They generally have less than 120,000 km, are newer than 5 years old, and they undergo 100-plus point inspections to ensure they’re in like-new quality. They’re always backed by several extended warranties. In most cases, those are added on top of the remainder of the vehicle’s original manufacturer warranty, if any is left. Finally, the majority of certified pre-owned programs come with added perks. For instance, 24-hour roadside assistance is common.
Now that we’ve answered, “what is the difference between used and certified pre-owned?”, and Halton Hills drivers understand the difference between these two categories of vehicles in theory, we encourage a visit some test drives. We’d love to break down the CPO reconditioning and inspection process for you in person, and also go over the choicest options in our conventional used vehicle lot.
