What Does it Mean When a Vehicle is Certified Pre-Owned?

There's no denying that cars are a big investment, so you want to make sure you are getting the most bang for your buck. If you are purchasing a new vehicle, it is guaranteed to be in great shape. But what if you are opting for a used Cadillac in Romeoville instead? It can be difficult to determine whether or not the used vehicle you are buying is exactly the way that it is advertised.

Thankfully, many used vehicles are now classified as certified pre-owned, meaning you can trust the fact that you are indeed purchasing a vehicle that is in great shape. If you aren't familiar with certified pre-owned (CPO) vehicles, here's what you need to know.

What is a CPO Vehicle?
When you opt for a CPO vehicle, know that it has low mileage, it is a late-model card and there is no record of significant damage to the vehicle. There is a reconditioning process as well as a multi-point inspection to ensure that the vehicle is in good shape. It comes with a manufacturer-backed warranty as well.

Price Comparison
You'll notice that certified pre-owned vehicles are more expensive than regular pre-owned cars, as you are paying more money up-front with the idea that you won't have to put money into it later on.
