RETIRED – What is a Certified Pre-owned vehicle?

September 16th, 2022 by

Whether new or used, purchasing a vehicle is a very big deal and is filled with important decisions. You have to choose between car vs truck vs SUV, the color, the features, and make several other key decisions. But before you get to the fun stuff, you must choose between a new Chevrolet vs a used vehicle.

 

And if you’re like most consumers, this can be the most difficult decision. However, at Preston Hood Chevrolet, you can enjoy the best of both worlds in a Certified Pre-Owned Chevrolet. Let’s take a closer look at what a Certified Pre-owned Chevrolet is and the benefits it offers.

 

What is a Certified Pre-Owned Chevrolet?

 

A Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) Chevrolet is a hand-selected used or pre-owned vehicle that meets very stringent requirements. For starters, the vehicle must be relatively new or within 6 current model years and have no more than 75,000 miles. The vehicle must also have a clean title and pass a Vehicle History Report. And to keep you in the loop, you will receive a free CARFAX vehicle history report. Once all of these initial criteria have been met, the vehicle must pass an extremely rigorous 172-point inspection from a Certified GM Technician.

 

CPO Vehicles Must Pass a Rigorous 172-Point Inspection

 

As previously mentioned, each potential CPO vehicle must pass an extremely thorough 172-Point Inspection that includes:

 

• Interior

 

• Exterior

 

• Road Test

 

• Maintenance

 

• Tires and Brake Pad Inspection

 

• Under Vehicle

 

• Engine Compartment

 

During the inspection, any issue found must be properly corrected and/or repaired by our factory-trained GM technicians. The goal is to restore each CPO vehicle to like-new, factory quality. Once all of these criteria have been satisfied, the vehicle is a Certified Pre-Owned Chevrolet, which means you will enjoy a full suite of enticing, money-saving benefits.

 

Certified Pre-Owned Chevrolet Vehicles Have Comprehensive Warranty

 

We get it — purchasing a used or pre-owned vehicle can be full of pitfalls. Did the previous owner take care of the vehicle? Will the vehicle last? At Preston Hood Chevrolet, our CPO program gives you greater peace of mind and allows you to purchase with more confidence. Each CPO Chevrolet comes with two value-added, comprehensive warranties at no additional cost to you.

 

6-Year/100,00-Mike Powertrain Warranty

 

The 6-Year/100,000 Powertrain Warranty is designed to cover the most expensive components in your vehicle, including:

 

• Engine and main engine components

 

• Transmission, transaxle, and transfer case

 

• Drive systems

 

This transferable warranty comes with a $0 deductible.

 

Bumper-to-Bumper Limited Warranty

 

In addition to the Powertrain Warranty, each CPO vehicle includes a 12-Month/12,000-Mile Bumper-to-Bumper Limited Warranty. Similar to the warranty offered on a new Chevrolet, this coverage protects almost every part of your vehicle. And like the Powertrain Warranty, the Bumper-to-Bumper Limited Warranty has a $0 deductible.

Roadside Warranty

 

Who actually enjoys being stuck on the side of the road? No one! And when you purchase a CPO Chevrolet from Preston Hood Chevrolet, you’ll enjoy the security that comes from 24-Hour Roadside Assistance. Whether it’s a flat tire, battery jump, or any other reason, your Roadside Assistance covers you. In addition, you’ll enjoy courtesy transportation and/or the reimbursement of expenses associated with alternate transportation.

 

Vehicle Exchange Program

 

As we previously mentioned, choosing the best vehicle can be tough. And if you make a decision today that you regret tomorrow, your CPO Chevrolet has integrated provisions for you. Each CPO Chevrolet comes with a 3-Day/150-Mile Exchange Policy. This simple and hassle-free exchange policy will give you extra peace of mind in the event you change it.
