When it’s time to buy a vehicle, savvy shoppers with budget restrictions often choose to purchase a used car. As you browse the options at a dealership, you may come across models labeled as certified pre-owned cars. If you’re unfamiliar with this term and what it means, here’s some helpful information to review. 

What’s the Difference Between a Used Car & a Certified Pre-Owned One?

In the early 1990s, several car companies implemented “certified pre-owned car” programs due to the influx of leased vehicles that were returning to dealerships in excellent condition and with low mileage at the end of a designated lease agreement.

A certified pre-owned car is a used car that’s essentially backed by the original manufacturer. These vehicles come with extended warranties and go through a multi-point inspection process to ensure the engine and all machinery is in excellent shape. Many of these cars receive minor repairs or reconditioning as needed before they go up for sale again. 

What are the Benefits of Buying a Certified Pre-Owned Car?

Certified Pre-Owned CarsWhile certified pre-owned cars may be listed at a higher price point than a standard used vehicle, these are significantly less expensive than a brand-new model. By choosing this option, you’ll enjoy added peace of mind when you drive off the car dealership lot.

The extended warranty, inspection process, and reconditioning protocol ensure your vehicle is in excellent shape and ready for the road. Should you experience any problems or breakdowns, you’ll receive complimentary repairs while under warranty.

In addition, it’s common for manufacturers and car dealerships to provide added incentives and perks, such as low-interest financing, to customers that choose certified pre-owned cars over a standard used vehicle.
