Q: What Does Certified Pre-Owned Actually Mean?
The short answer - peace of mind. Certified pre-owned vehicles, or CPO's, are used vehicles that go through a rigorous inspection process, making them as close to a new car as you can get. Keep in mind I only recommend factory certified cars because they're backed by the manufacturer and usually come with a very long warranty. Factory CPO's typically cost more, but it's money well spent since there are often factory incentives available.
