WHY CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED VEHICLES ARE A SMART BUY

As new vehicle prices rise, many Round Rock drivers are turning to used vehicles as an alternative. When shopping for a pre-owned model, they will find two categories of used vehicles to choose from: traditional used vehicles and certified pre-owned(CPO) vehicles. While both have had at least one owner before arriving on the lot, certified pre-owned models tend to be more expensive than their used counterparts. So, what makes certified pre-owned vehicles worth it?

Compare certified pre-owned vs. used vehicles with this guide from Jaguar North Austin Certified Pre-Owned & Service to discover how a CPO model may provide extra peace of mind wherever you travel in Killeen.

CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED VS. USED VEHICLES

Before diving into all the benefits of certified pre-owned vehicles, it is important to understand how they differ from traditional used vehicles. Compare certified pre-owned vs. used vehicles in the breakdown below:

• Used vehicles: Any vehicle driven by at least one previous owner is considered a used vehicle. They may be any make, model, or year and in any condition. These vehicles are usually sold “as-is,” making all needed repairs and services the responsibility of the new owner. This allows them to be sold in a variety of price ranges.
• Certified Pre-Owned vehicles: Unlike used vehicles, certified pre-owned vehicles must meet certain eligibility requirements to qualify for their “certified” title. CPO vehicles must be under a certain mileage and age limit, and undergo a full inspection by the manufacturer to ensure all the main components are in working order. While this makes them more expensive than traditional used vehicles, it also means they are more reliable.

TOP BENEFITS OF CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED VEHICLES

Why buy a CPO vehicle? In addition to receiving a fully-inspected and sometimes refurbished model, you will also enjoy:

• Warranty Coverage: Many manufacturers provide warranty coverage on CPO vehicles, allowing you to navigate around Georgetown with confidence.
• Manufacturer Bonuses: CPO vehicles often offer additional manufacturer perks, such as roadside assistance, satellite radio trials, and complimentary maintenance visits.
• Special Financing Offers: Interest rates on used vehicles tend to be higher than on new vehicles. Certified pre-owned models bridge this gap, with many offering financing options similar to a brand-new model.

HOW TO DECIDE IF A CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED VEHICLE IS WORTH IT

Even with all the benefits of certified pre-owned vehicles listed above, a CPO model may not suit every driver’s situation. That said, certified pre-owned vehicles may be worth it if you:

• Want to skip surprise maintenance or repairs after your purchase
• Would feel more comfortable driving around town while protected by a warranty
• Need the convenience and connectivity of a more recent model with modern technology
