What Does Certified Pre-Owned Mean?

When a used car, truck, or SUV is listed as certified pre-owned, it means that it meets the high quality standards of the original manufacturer. In order to be eligible for certification, a used car must be a late-model vehicle with low mileage and must also undergo a thorough multi-point inspection.

By choosing a CPO vehicle, area drivers can avoid the risk commonly associated with a used car, and enjoy many of the benefits that usually come with a new car. Explore the CPO benefits, and visit Sam Leman Automotive Group to test drive one of the high quality vehicles in our certified pre-owned inventory today!

What are the Certified Pre-Owned Benefits?

Each automaker has their own unique CPO program, but the benefits that area buyers can expect almost always include:

• Late Model/Low Mileage Vehicle – A used car generally can be no more than 4 to 6 years old, and have less than 40,000 to 80,000 miles in order to be certified.
• Multipoint Inspection – A rigorous mechanical and appearance inspection must be performed by a factory-certified technician, and any reconditioning must be done in compliance with the manufacturer’s standards.
• Vehicle History Report – CPO programs also include a free vehicle history report, so you find out all there is to know about the vehicle.
• Warranty – A certified pre-owned vehicle comes with the remaining balance of the new car warranty, plus a limited CPO warranty that often includes bumper-to-bumper and/or powertrain coverage with 0% deductible.
• Roadside Assistance – 24-hour roadside assistance, covering emergency fuel delivery, jump starts, emergency lock-out protection, free loaner vehicle, towing, trip interruption protection, and more.
• Special Financing – Special CPO financing is available to eligible buyers.
