Why Buy Certified Pre-Owned

Learn more from Bud's CDJR!

Buying a certified pre-owned vehicle gives drivers a like-new car at a used car price. Not only is the vehicle in like-new condition, but it is also still covered under warranty and must pass an extensive inspection to make sure every aspect of the vehicle is in pristine condition. In order to qualify for the CPO program, a vehicle must have less than 75,000 miles, no frame damage, and must come with an operational key and clean title, among other criteria. Once the vehicle is qualified, it will move on to the multi-point inspection. There are many benefits to purchasing a certified pre-owned Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, or Ram vehicle. To learn more about some of the benefits, keep reading below!

125-Point Inspection

Any vehicle that is eligible for the CPO program must pass an intense 125-point inspection. The first items checked are the vehicle's mechanical components. A factory-trained technician will meticulously inspect all the components of the engine, suspension, steering, and braking systems before taking the vehicle on a road test to ensure the operational function of the systems. While on the road test, the technician will also test the car's instruments, including the gauge cluster, infotainment system, cruise control, windows, locks, and more. When the road test is completed and passed, the vehicle is brought to the service center for an oil change, transmission, and differential fluid exchange. The hoses, belts, exhaust, coolant, tires, brakes, and air filters will all be closely inspected and replaced if necessary. The vehicle's cosmetics will then be carefully looked at. Aftermarket stickers will be removed, missing or incorrectly placed emblems will be corrected, and the vehicle will be checked for cracks in any glass and light covers. The technician will check the vehicle's seats, headliner, floor mats, carpets, door panels, and dash panels for damage, stains, or missing components. Finally, the vehicle will receive a full white-glove interior and exterior detail once everything is checked out and replaced. The engine bay will also be detailed, making the entire vehicle look like it just rolled out of the factory.

7-year/100,000-Mile Warranty

Every new Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram comes with a 7-year, 100,000-mile powertrain warranty. Therefore, all CPO vehicles come covered by this warranty. This limited warranty covers the cost to replace most major powertrain components, including the driveline, transmission, and engine. This means that if within the seven years or 100,000 miles, your transmission becomes inoperable, a certified CDJR service center will replace it, and all you have to pay is the deductible. In addition to the 7-year warranty, drivers can add the Maximum Care Plan, Added Care Plus, and Powertrain Care to get even more confidence when buying a CPO vehicle.

Other Certified Pre-Owned Benefits

If the 125-point inspection and warranty options aren't enough to make you opt for a certified pre-owned vehicle, here are a few more benefits! First, all CPO vehicles come with 24-hour roadside assistance, covering towing, lockout services, flat tire repair, jump-starting, and gas delivery. A CPO vehicle also comes with a rental allowance, giving you flexibility when your car needs service. Second, you'll have access to a full Carfax vehicle history report when buying a CPO vehicle. This gives you detailed information about the title and registration, service records, recall information, vehicle usage, and reported accidents. Lastly, CPO customers will also have a 3-month introductory subscription to SiriusXM satellite radio.
