Used vs. Certified Pre-Owned
Shop for a Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle
When searching for their next vehicle, shoppers prioritize certain aspects over others. Price is often one of the first things that comes to mind, so what’s the difference between buying used and certified pre-owned, or CPO?
Why Buy Certified Pre-Owned?
The simplest answer is that certified pre-owned vehicles tend to have an added layer of protection – while CPO programs may vary between brands, a vehicle must meet a certain number of requirements to be included in the program. Technicians generally carry out multi-point inspections, and certified pre-owned vehicles tend to be under a certain number of miles.
Why Buy Used?
While a rigorous inspection of a prospective vehicle may seem enticing, there’s still a huge market for general used cars. From older model years to used cars for sale under 20k, shoppers can take advantage of great deals on used cars, and find a potential diamond in the rough. Through our emphasis on constantly bringing vehicles into our used inventory, we make it a point to provide our Minot and Williston area community with the best possible vehicle selection.
