Certified Pre-Owned Cars: Affordable and Almost New

Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) cars may be your safest bet if you are looking for a low-priced car you can depend on or if you want to get more for every buck you pay for a used car.

Certified Pre-Owned car sales have significantly increased in the last few years. Not only do you get the savings of a "refurbished" car, you can also take advantage of incentives, perks and financing. Here are some of the advantages you'll get if you opt for a COP car.

Since CPOs compete against both new and used cars, manufacturers are providing many extras. Many CPO programs offer free oil changes and 24-hour road side assistance. Others give you a 3-day/150-mile money-back guarantee or have an exchange policy.

Increasing COP car sales has triggered an increase in finance and automobile leasing options that are now being extended to these more affordable used cars. When talking to your car dealer, be sure to ask about consumer cash incentives and low-interest loans for CPO buyers.

The increasing number of CPOs in the market means prices are likely to drop. However, before you buy, make sure to investigate who has certified the car you are interested in as there are different CPOs certification procedures.

As a consumer you may be paying a tad more for CPO rather than non-COP used cars but the extra investment is worth it if you are looking for the added reassurance.
