Buying a pre owned car is always a sort of risk in the eyes of the buyers as they are very skeptical towards investing money in a used car that has no guarantee of its performance. However, a person buying or leasing from a certified pre-owned (CPO) car program can be at ease due to the certification from the brand itself. When the certification is from the car manufacturer it carries weight in terms of quality and reliability. The added advantage is that these cars are well serviced and resold almost as if brand new constituting a win-win situation for both the buyer and the brand seller. Most of these auto manufacturers own these CPO programs as a form of trust building with their buyers.

Why buy a used car out of a CPO program?

Each car undergoes critical scanning in order to meet the certification requirements. The most important aspect is that a used car getting such an accreditation from the brand denotes that the car has had only one prior owner, the car was not part of or damaged in any major accident, the miles that the car has run should be within a certain limit depending on the brand, and in specific should not have a clean and un-muddled title. Once the basic criteria has been met, the second step is for the car to be thoroughly inspected by certified technicians from the manufacturer to check of any probable malfunction and then rectify the same if any exists. Easily wearable items such as the brake pads, tires, etc., should be thoroughly checked and vouched for durability, failing which these items should be strictly misplaced before being rolled out for a resale. An auto manufacturer rolling out a car for resale is equivalent to its new car sales. Keeping up the brand name is important to these manufacturers, and therefore, they comprehensively check the used car to avoid even the smallest glitches. It is only after these criteria have been met that the used car is given the warranty tag for continued brand service.
