As you search for the next car, truck, or SUV for sale in Sioux Falls, your choices will be abundant. You’ll have plenty of options when it comes to color, mileage, budget, and condition. Will you choose a nice, pre-owned Chevy Equinox or used Toyota RAV4? Maybe you’re in the market for a certified pre-owned (CPO) Honda CR-V? Fortunately, our family of dealerships stock a wide variety of used SUVs just like these. Before you leave your home in Harrisburg or Brandon (or even Brookings), the folks at Vern Eide have provided some helpful information so you know the difference between a used and certified pre-owned vehicle.
According to Wikipedia, A certified pre-owned (CPO) vehicle is a type of used car—most often late-model—that has been inspected, refurbished, and certified by the original manufacturer or other certifying authority.
Certified pre-owned vehicles have been previously owned and usually have no more than 60,000 to 80,000 miles – and, are no older than five to seven years (the time and mileage warranties will vary based on the manufacturer). For example, Honda Certified Pre-Owned vehicles must be 6 years old or newer and the engine must have less than 80,000 miles. If Honda is your brand of choice you’re in luck! Vern Eide has the area’s largest selection of Honda Certified Pre-Owned vehicles.
Another benefit of CPO vehicles is the inspection process that they’re required to pass before earning the label of Certified Pre-Owned. All manufacturers have their own required process. Continuing to use Honda for this example, each vehicle must pass a rigorous 182-point mechanical and appearance inspection. As previously mentioned, every CPO vehicle is backed by the original manufacturer, subjected to a rigorous multi-point inspection, and comes with an extended warranty from the original date of service—no matter which dealership sold that particular vehicle. To understand what manufacturer requirements are included for each particular brand, the professionals at Vern Eide are always available to answer questions and provide all the necessary information you may need. Our motto of fast, fun, and friendly allows you to have the confidence in purchasing your next CPO vehicle in Sioux Falls.
Now that we have a definition of certified pre-owned, the next question can be answered: “What’s the difference between CPO and used cars?”
A used vehicle is any car, truck, SUV, or van that doesn’t meet CPO requirements. As we outlined above, if the vehicle meets the manufacturer’s CPO qualifications, it is offered for sale as certified pre-owned. That doesn’t mean used or pre-owned cars for sale aren’t a good option. Used vehicles have plenty of advantages depending on your current driving needs. One of the biggest factors to consider when purchasing a used vehicle should be the inspection process. Just like CPO vehicles, used cars, trucks, SUVs, and vans should go through a similarly rigorous inspection.
More specifically, used vehicles are defined (per Wikipedia again) as a used car, pre-owned vehicle, or secondhand car that has previously had one or more retail owners. Used cars are sold through a variety of outlets, including dealership franchises such as Vern Eide, independent car dealers, rental car companies, buy here pay here dealerships, leasing offices, auctions, and private party sales.
