Used Vs Certified Pre-Owned Cars Near Monroeville, PA

Buying new is always the ideal scenario. Of course, that’s not possible for everyone due to budgetary constraints, especially for first-time car buyers. When it comes to the used category, you have the choice between used and certified pre-owned cars. Which of the two is the right option for you?

What Is a Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) Car?

What does it mean when a used car is certified? A vehicle designated as certified pre-owned has met a list of rigorous pre-requisites set forth by the manufacturer and/or dealership. CPO vehicles come with some major perks, including:

• A multi-point inspection
• An official history report from CARFAX
• An extended warranty
• Vehicle cannot have exceeded a certain mileage and year
• Refurbishment of worn parts
• Special benefits, such as a year of 24-hour roadside assistance

Is a Certified Pre-Owned Car Right for Me?

The biggest benefit of a certified pre-owned car is the buyer confidence and peace of mind. Though it’s not new, you have the reassurance that it has been thoroughly inspected by a manufactured-licensed technician. With these perks, though, comes the higher sales price.

Our advice is simple: if a CPO car is within your budget, then go for a CPO vehicle. If it’s out of your budget, then our dealership has an expansive inventory of non-CPO vehicles. These still undergo a basic inspection, so it’s more trustworthy than buying a car from a private seller.
