What’s the difference between pre-owned and CPO?
Have you already started your search for the perfect pre-owned model? Well, then you’ve probably come across those vehicles that come with the designation CPO. You’re probably wondering what the difference is between pre-owned vehicles and CPO, or Certified Pre-Owned, vehicles and we’re here to decipher that for you. When a vehicle is considered to become a CPO model, there are a number of hoops it must jump through to be classified as one. It must not only pass a multipoint inspection but also must satisfy the manufacturer’s requirements and age/mileage restrictions. Once it has passed all of these trials and tribulations, it will then be graced with the title of CPO. When a vehicle comes with this designation, it tends to be a bit more expensive than a regular pre-owned model.
What is good mileage on a pre-owned car?
One of the benefits of buying from our pre-owned selection is that you’ll have a variety of brands and models to choose from. Whether you’re looking for a sporty sedan or a capable SUV, you’ll be able to tailor your vehicle to your lifestyle needs. While mileage limits depend on the type of vehicle you’re bringing home, modern vehicles tend to have longer lives nowadays. Even though models in earlier years may have only been able to reach up to 100,000 miles, today’s modern cars were crafted to reach much higher mileage limits. The best advice we can give you is to research the model you’re looking for and find what mileage limits work for you and your needs.
