What is a Used Car?

A used model is any vehicle that has ever been previously owned. While all certified pre-owned vehicles our used vehicles, not all used vehicles are certified pre-owned, meaning that the concept of a used car is a much broader tent.

What is a Certified Pre-owned Car?

When it comes CPO vs. used vehicles, certified pre-owned (CPO) models can be distinguished by the fact that, though used, they’ve been inspected and certified by a manufacturer-approved mechanic as being in like-new condition.

• 150-point inspection for like-new quality
