Used vs CPO

One of the most common questions we get here at Dan Cummins is: what is the difference between a used vehicle and a CPO model? If this is your first time buying a pre-owned vehicle, it’s a very normal question to ask. A CPO model is different from the average used vehicle. It’s a certified pre-owned model. Here’s what that means.

Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) vehicles are within a few model years old that have passed a rigorous manufacturer inspection. There are a lot of requirements that need to be met before a used vehicle is given this seal of approval. First, the vehicle must be under five years of age and not over a certain amount of miles. The mileage sometimes varies depending on the brand, but the average is generally around 50,000 to 60,000 miles. If the pre-owned vehicle meets these requirements, it can be sent off to the manufacturer to undergo the inspection process.

The CPO inspection process is different for every automaker. Typically, it is somewhere between a 125-point inspection and a 200-point inspection. The entire process happens in phases, usually starting with a mechanical inspection. If there is a terrible issue with the mechanics of the vehicle, the inspection will be over with right then and there. However, if the mechanisms are in good working order with minimal wear and tear, the vehicle will be passed to the next phase.

In the second phase, electrical systems are checked. As the second-most expensive repair, the inspector will determine if the electrical work will cost more than they are worth fixing. Again, normal wear and tear are acceptable. If everything is okay, then the vehicle will move on to the next stage.

Sometimes the exterior and cabin inspections are combined into one phase, and sometimes they are separate. It depends on the automaker’s policy. Regardless, the inspector will ensure that there is no significant or costly damage to the vehicle’s exterior or the cabin. If it just needs a thorough detailing, then it will be pushed to the final stage.

Before it gets the CPO title, the used vehicle will be thoroughly washed, waxed, and detailed from the inside-out. Every inch of the inside, including the trunk, will be vacuumed, and the dashboard will be treated. After all of these phases are passed, the vehicle will earn the CPO title and head back to the dealership.

Because of the rigorous inspection process, CPO models are more expensive than used cars. They come with a vehicle history report, special financing options, and an extended warranty. If you are wary about purchasing a used vehicle, buying a CPO model may put your mind at ease.

Used Models Under 10K

If you are on a tight budget, we always have used vehicles for sale that are under $10,000. These are usually not CPO models, but that doesn’t mean that they are bad vehicles. You can take any of them out for a spin or have your trusted mechanic take a look under the hood before you buy one. We also recommend that you always ask to see a vehicle history report before you sign any papers. This will let you know if the vehicle has been stolen, salvage, water damaged, fire damage, or in an accident.
