A "Certified Pre-Owned" (CPO) vehicle is a used car that has undergone a thorough inspection and meets specific criteria set by the manufacturer or dealer. These vehicles typically come with a limited warranty, which provides added peace of mind for buyers. CPO programs often include benefits like roadside assistance and vehicle history reports. To qualify as CPO, a vehicle usually must be relatively new, have low mileage, and pass a multi-point inspection. This certification process helps ensure that the car is in good condition, making it a more reliable option compared to standard used cars.
