What does a certified pre-owned warranty cover?
Factory Warranties Virtually all CPO vehicles are covered by two: what’s called a limited powertrain warranty on the engine, transmission, and other expensive major mechanical components; and a second, limited bumper-to-bumper warranty, which covers most other issues like the air conditioning and infotainment systems. A CPO car is preferred as it’s reliable, quality-assured, tested, and inspected to receive a certified badge for resale. It also features warranty coverage to reduce repair costs. A regular car, on the other hand, could have potential hidden issues, have no manufacturer warranty, and have higher maintenance costs.
What is the difference between preowned and certified pre-owned?
While pre-owned and certified pre-owned vehicles are both pre-owned, there are definite differences between the two. For starters, certified pre-owned vehicles are held to the high standards of manufacturers’ certified pre-owned programs. Because of depreciation, certified pre-owned cars can be a better value than new cars. They can be purchased for a lower price than what their quality and features might otherwise fetch if they were newer. You can get a car that is nearly new, but because it has been previously owned, you will always pay less for it.Many people think certified pre-owned cars are not negotiable, but that is not always the case. If you research and know what you’re talking about, you may be able to negotiate a better price. Remember that certified pre-owned cars usually have a higher price tag than regular used cars.So, What Does Certified Pre-Owned Mean, Exactly? Mercedes-Benz will label some vehicles as “CPO”, meaning the car has passed a 165+ point inspection. In addition, a certified pre-owned vehicle is covered by warranties, which is not a benefit that comes with other pre-owned cars.Remember that certified pre-owned cars usually have a higher price tag than regular used cars. This is because they have undergone a rigorous inspection process and come with a warranty. So, while you may be able to negotiate on the price, it is important to ensure that you are getting a good deal.
Is it a good idea to buy certified pre-owned?
CPO Vehicles Still Have a Lot of Life in Them Unlike older used vehicles that may have significant wear and tear, CPO vehicles are typically younger and have lower mileage, ensuring you get a reliable and long-lasting vehicle without the price of a brand-new car. Are CPO Cars More Expensive? Yes, CPO cars are generally more expensive than comparable non-CPO car. It costs a dealership time and money to perform the inspections, catch up on maintenance and complete necessary repairs. Furthermore, the CPO warranty and additional perks add value to the car.If you value peace of mind, warranty protection, and a newer vehicle at a lower price than new, then CPO cars are an excellent option. On the other hand, if your budget is tighter and you’re comfortable doing more research on service history, a non-certified used car may be the smarter choice.You can — and should — negotiate on CPO vehicles, just like you’d negotiate on any new or non-certified used car. As with any negotiations, we recommend fixating on the out-the-door price of the car, including all taxes and fees.
