Benefits of Certified Pre-Owned Cars

Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) vehicles are becoming more popular thanks to the many added perks of owning one. If you’re looking for an affordable vehicle without taking a risk on a used car that you know nothing about, then a CPO model might be right for you. Plus, certified pre-owned cars come with added benefits you can’t find elsewhere. Below is more information about the benefits of buying CPO.

Certification Process

One of the benefits to buying CPO is that cars must meet strict requirements. For instance, Honda CPO models must be less than six years old and have less than 80,000 miles. Any more and it can’t be certified. There is also a 182-point inspection to ensure that everything is like-new, and each car comes with a vehicle history report to provide important information. With this report, you can see if a vehicle was in a major accident, if it has frame damage, or if it was serviced regularly, among other things.
