Are Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles Worth It?
If you're thinking of purchasing a used vehicle, you'll also need to decide between a traditional used and a Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) vehicle. Both options offer excellent affordability compared to new inventory, but one has a slightly higher sticker price accompanied by increased peace-of-mind measures and benefits exclusive to the manufacturer.

Why do Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) vehicles cost more than traditional used vehicles?
• Stringent manufacturer mandated requirements to qualify in one of the three HondaTrue tiers. • Vehicles are refurbished to meet Honda’s criteria for HondaTrue Certified, Certified+, or HondaTrue Used. |
• Qualifying HondaTrue Certified & Used vehicles come with warranties backed by the manufacturer. Traditional used cars rarely have warranties, and if they do, it will be issued through the dealer or a third party. • Qualifying HondaTrue Certified & Used vehicles can redeem the benefits of their warranty at any authorized dealer, not just the dealer they purchased from. This is ideal if you travel or move. • Can include extra technology, safety, and service perks from the manufacturer in the price. |
• Since the manufacturer has such extensive requirements for a vehicle to be certified, the manufacturer can offer very appealing financing (auto loan) options on CPOs that most used cars are not eligible for. • Certified Pre-Owned vehicles can also be found with financing incentives (low APR’s, loan lengths) similar to those found on new car deals. • HondaTrue Certified & Used Vehicles have no deductible on warranty related service visits. |
