In this used vs. certified vehicles guide, you'll learn all about each option and what perks come along with it. Will you soon be cruising the streets in a used vehicle or will a Nissan CPO model be found in your driveway? Let's find out.

Used and Certified Car Guides

​

Used Vehicles vs Certified Pre-Owned: Overview

CPO and used models have a lot of similarities, but there are quite a few differences as well.

Used models can come from anyone and anywhere, giving drivers a great selection to choose from while shopping. These vehicles all go through a traditional inspection by a professional to ensure they're ready to hit the roads safely once again.

CPO models, on the other hand, must pass a rigorous qualification process to earn this title. Although they have had previous owners, they're quite different from your everyday used vehicle.


Benefits of Buying Used

When you're shopping for a used vehicle, you'll have the power of choice. For example, our pre-owned inventory is filled with something for every type of driver. This includes sedans, crossovers, SUVs, trucks, and many more styles to choose from.

Used vehicles also offer great value and are a sound investment. In fact, with proper maintenance and care, you may be able to sell your pre-owned model for around the same price you bought it for.

Other benefits of buying a used car include:

  • Generally lower insurance rates
  • Reliability
  • Warranty plans available

Benefits of Buying Certified

One of the biggest benefits of buying a CPO model is the assurance you'll get. Take the Nissan CPO program, for example. To even be considered, the model must be less than six years old, have fewer than 80,000 miles, and pass a thorough 167-point inspection.

That's just the beginning of the long list of CPO benefits available. Warranty coverage is also included to ensure maintenance and repairs are seamless and convenient. This coverage comes straight from the manufacturer and allows only certified professionals to work on your model.

Other perks of buying a CPO vehicle include:

  • Roadside assistance
  • CPO financing rates
  • Vehicle history report
