Used vs Certified Pre-Owned

If you don’t quite have the budget to purchase an all-new Chevrolet, you have plenty more options when it comes to used and Certified Pre-Owned vehicles. Though they may be similar in the sense that they both had previous owners, there are some key differences to consider when choosing between a used and CPO vehicle.

BENEFITS OF CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED

A CPO vehicle is also used, but it meets a number of key criteria that earns the backing of the manufacturer. For example, Chevrolet Certified Pre-Owned vehicles like those you’ll find at Blaise Alexander Chevrolet – Greencastle have to check the

following boxes:

• Within the six most current model years
• Driven 75,000 miles or fewer
• Clean title
• Clean CARFAX® Vehicle History Report

Every Chevy CPO vehicle has to pass a rigorous 172-point inspection. If any parts need replaced or reconditioned, this is done using only GM Genuine Parts to ensure optimal performance. Because GM stands behind this process 100 percent, it backs every Chevy CPO with a 6-Year/100,000-Mile Powertrain Limited Warranty and a 12-Month/12,000-Mile Bumper-to-Bumper Limited Warranty. That’s estimated at around $2,600 of extra built-in value.*

BENEFITS OF USED

The most obvious upside of buying a used car is that it’s the most affordable option available to you. Even used cars with very few miles on the odometer carry a significantly lower price because they’ve already experienced the bulk of depreciation. You also don’t have to pay as much in taxes, and you won’t have to pay as much to ensure it. Despite what you may think, today’s used cars are more reliable than ever. The continued innovations in automotive manufacturing and engineering mean that vehicles are more durable and longer-lasting, so you can expect to get plenty of good years and mileage out of even a somewhat older vehicle.

There’s no wrong choice when it comes to new, used, and CPO vehicles — all that matters is that you get the vehicle best for your needs. Stop into Blaise Alexander Chevrolet – Greencastle and we’ll help you make the best decision possible.
