Chevrolet CPO Vehicles

A certified pre-owned vehicle is a used vehicle that fits a series of requirements that distinguish it in quality from normal used vehicles. Not just any vehicle can become certified pre-owned–to qualify for the CPO program, used cars are held to strict criteria. What does “certified pre-owned” mean when it comes to Chevrolet models?

• Model Year: Each car must be a newer model year. For Chevrolet, the requirement is 6 years old or newer.
• Miles: Each car must have fewer miles on the odometer. For Chevrolet, the requirement is 75,000 miles or fewer.
• Vehicle History Report: Each car must have a thorough and satisfactory vehicle history report, proving that the recommended maintenance schedule in the owner’s manual was followed.
• Inspection: A Chevrolet-certified dealership must perform a multi-point inspection for quality. For Bayer Motor Company, it is a 172-point inspection, checking components like the air conditioning system, shocks, and the undercarriage. This inspection also includes a road test.

Benefits of Certified Pre-Owned Cars

If you are hesitant to spend the money for a brand-new car and nervous about trying a used model, then a CPO vehicle is the perfect choice:

• You can buy with confidence knowing that your vehicle has been inspected from top to bottom by a certified expert.
• Every CPO car comes with a comprehensive warranty package to protect your investment.
• A certified pre-owned warranty from Chevrolet near Stephenville comes with roadside assistance, transferable warranty, and more.

Used vs. Certified Pre-Owned vs. New Vehicles

• Used Vehicles: Tend to have lower prices and a larger variety of vehicles in terms of makes, models, features, mileage, and age.
• Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles: A great middle ground, with amenities for a lower price than in a new vehicle, but with more quality assurance and vehicle history knowledge than with a normal used vehicle.
• New Vehicles: Give you the latest technologies and the peace of mind that comes with a brand-new model.
