Buying a car is a big decision with many factors to consider. For those who don’t want to buy a new vehicle, two of the more popular options are buying a used car or a certified pre-owned vehicle. As you consider which is right for you, here is a quick breakdown between the two.

Used

Buying a used car can be the financially savvy option for those on a budget. Since most cars lose up to 30 percent of their initial value in the first year, used cars tend to be more affordable. On top of that, choosing a used vehicle often helps you save money in the long run as well, from a lower insurance rate to lower fees on registration, tax, and title. In the end, a used car ultimately means better value for your money.

The used-car market also allows for more variety when it comes to colors, trim levels, and features. From a wider selection of model years to a more generous price range, the used-car market has something for everyone.

Certified Pre-Owned

With a certified pre-owned vehicle, you have a better idea of what you are getting. CPO vehicles must meet certain standards to be considered for the program, meaning only the cars in top condition get accepted. Anything that is too old, has too many miles, or shows major damage won’t make it into the program.

After the initial inspection, CPO vehicles get reconditioned, undergoing necessary repairs to the mechanical components, interior, or paint and body. At the end of the process, CPO vehicles must pass a comprehensive inspection that guarantees the quality of the vehicle. CPO vehicles often come with limited warranties as well, adding to your peace of mind.
