Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles For Sale Near Hershey, PA
Savvy car buyers know that purchasing a quality used vehicle can provide numerous benefits, from slower depreciation compared to a new vehicle to lower monthly payments and insurance costs. However, the key to the success of your pre-owned vehicle purchase is ensuring that you buy a vehicle in excellent condition with years of service remaining. It can be challenging to know about the life and care of the car when it was in Hershey or Mechanicsburg prior to its arrival at Hondru Auto Group or any dealership, unless you are purchasing a certified pre-owned vehicle.
The CPO badge is an indication of the inspections and quality of the vehicle and the manufacturer's willingness to back up the claim that you are purchasing a gently used vehicle that is still at its peak for performance and reliability. If you would like to purchase one of the best used vehicles on the market, please stop by a Hondru Auto Group dealership to explore our CPO inventory and find the ideal selection that will serve you well for many years to come.
What It Takes To Be A Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle
Earning a CPO badge is about a great deal more than the visual appearance of the vehicle and how perfect the paint and interior appear. These vehicles must meet some very specific criteria to even qualify to move to the second phase of the certification process. They must:
- Be less than 6 years old
- Have less than 75,000 miles
- Have a clean title to ensure they have never been declared a total loss and rebuilt
After meeting these criteria, the vehicle moves on to a very comprehensive 172-point inspection that covers everything from the function of the vital systems like the engine and transmission to the door locks, fuel fill cap, and key fobs. The evaluation also reviews the condition of features like the interior, the fluids to evaluate the level of maintenance, and the underside of the car to assess its possible use and environment. Only after passing each of these many evaluations does the car earn a CPO badge.
What You Get When Buying A CPO Vehicle At Hondru Auto Group
The risk you take when buying the average used car is that it has no warranty, and you will need to cover the cost of any issues that arise during your ownership of the vehicle. However, when you buy a CPO vehicle from Hondru Auto Group, it is backed by a manufacturer's warranty, much like a new car. The first warranty provided is bumper-to-bumper coverage, which offers complete coverage of most car items for 12 months or 12,000 miles, with exceptions for misuse, accidents, or other acts of nature. The second warranty covers the powertrain, which includes the engine, transmission, and drive system components, for an additional six years or 100,000 miles. Even more impressive is that the powertrain warranty is transferable if you sell the vehicle within the time or mileage limit.
Finally, buyers of CPO cars, trucks, and SUVs receive two years of free routine service for the vehicle, roadside assistance and free transportation should there be an incident, and the opportunity to exchange the vehicle during the first three days or 150 miles of ownership if it is not meeting your needs and expectations. Finally, OnStar and SiriusXM will be activated on the vehicle for a free three-month trial of these services.
