Used vs. Chevrolet Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles

Saving money doesn’t mean you need to cut corners. That’s especially true of car buying since there’s a difference between used cars and Chevrolet Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) models. You may think a used car is a used car, but there are some essential differences between used and CPO. Casey Chevrolet explains the benefits of both approaches so you can make an informed decision.

Used Car Pros and Cons

Used cars are an economical choice. You can stretch your car trade-in value farther and save money. If you don’t always need the latest features or all the bells and whistles, you can get a top-trim used car for much less than it would’ve cost new, and Casey Chevrolet carries a diverse selection of makes and models. The only downside: the car is often all you’re getting, because many of its benefits – like a warranty or trials of certain services – will have long since expired.

Chevrolet Certified Pre-Owned Pros and Cons

Chevrolet Certified Pre-Owned cars give you the cost savings of a used car and the advanced features of a newer model. To qualify for the program, a vehicle must be fewer than six model years old with fewer than 75,000 miles. It then undergoes a 172-point inspection that examines cosmetic details, performance, and condition.

While we only certify Chevy cars and their age and condition mean they’re a bit more expensive than used cars, the select few that pass receive some great benefits:

• A Limited Powertrain Warranty covers powertrain components for six years or 100,000 miles from the vehicle’s initial in-service date.
• A one-year/12,000-mile Bumper-to-Bumper Limited Warranty covers non-powertrain concerns, including tire defects and towing.
• Three days or 150 miles to exchange the car if it doesn’t meet your expectations.
• Trials of SiriusXM® and OnStar®.
• Complimentary maintenance visits, roadside assistance, and more; ask your Chevy dealer for details.

Why Buying Used Cars at Casey Chevrolet is Different

If CPO cars bridge new and used cars’ benefits, the Casey Carefree Guarantee offers the best of used and certified pre-owned, with benefits that aren’t easy to find anywhere else. Talk to your dealer about the program’s terms, conditions, and benefits, including free Virginia state inspections, a three-day money-back guarantee, and a two-year / 200,000-mile limited powertrain warranty, among others.
