Are you a Roseville, CA driver who is currently in the market for a used car, truck, SUV, or minivan? Have you heard the term, Certified Pre-Owned (CPO), but are unsure what it means and how those vehicles are different from a regular used one? You are not alone. There is a lot of confusion surrounding CPO and used vehicles and how they differ. Our dealership understands that clearing up any misunderstanding is important to Folsom, CA customers who are trying to decide which option is best. Dave Gard’s Winner Chevrolet, located at 1624 S Canyon Way in Colfax, CA, is a great resource for any questions regarding pre-owned cars.
What is a Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle?
A Chevy CPO vehicle is a used Chevy car, truck, or SUV that has met the exhaustive requirements of the Chevrolet CPO program and can be sold to our Rocklin, CA customers with a certain set of benefits. To be considered for the CPO program, a used Chevy must be within six model years, have no more than 75,000 miles on the odometer, and have a clean title. They must also pass a stringent 172-point inspection process by a factory-trained, GM-certified technician. Once that has happened, the vehicle gets the designation of CPO and gets the perk of a 12-month/12,000-mile Bumper-to-Bumper Limited Warranty and a six-year/100,000-mile Powertrain Limited Warranty. There is no deductible on any covered repair and Auburn, CA customers with a CPO vehicle also get the benefit of Roadside Assistance.
How Does a Used Vehicle Differ?
Grass Valley, CA customers who are interested in a used car, truck, SUV, or minivan that is not certified can still get a quality vehicle. A used car on our lot that isn’t certified is not part of that program because it is not a Chevy, or it doesn’t meet one of the initial requirements to be part of the program. If you are interested in a used vehicle from one of the many brands you will find on our pre-owned lot, like GMC, RAM, Toyota, Ford, Nissan, Buick, and Subaru, there are many options that are late model and low mileage. Additionally, all our pre-owned vehicles go through an intense inspection by our service technicians. Going used gives you variety that the CPO program doesn’t give you.
