When it comes to Certified Pre-Owned cars, Sansone Auto has you covered. Here’s a closer look at what you can expect from manufacturer and dealer CPO models.

Dealer CPO Models

Because there are so many benefits to purchasing a CPO model, many dealerships have come up with certifications of their own. The truth of the matter is, many of these certifications are inconsistent or arbitrary, and may not offer you the same protection as you might get when you purchase CPO vehicles that have qualified for the manufacturer’s program.

That’s not to say that all dealer-certified CPO models are bad or unreliable. If you’re purchasing CPO from the dealership, however, you do want to make sure that you’re paying close attention to the specifics of the certification program, you’re looking into the warranties available with the certification, and you know how and where replacements and repairs can be made. If a CPO vehicle from the dealer requires extra purchases, you may want to walk away.

Manufacturer CPO Vehicles

By contrast, you’ll know you’re getting the best possible protection and the highest-quality pre-owned vehicle when you purchase a manufacturer Certified Pre-Owned model. These can only be sold at an authorized dealership, such as Sansone Auto.

The qualifications for manufacturer CPO cars vary with the automaker, but you can expect a late-model car that has passed a rigorous multi-point inspection. These vehicles will have extra warranty protection, in addition to what comes with the vehicle when it is produced, and you won’t have to pay more for it unless you want an extended warranty.
