What is a Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) Vehicle?

A Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) vehicle is a used car that has undergone a rigorous inspection and reconditioning process by the manufacturer, meeting specific age and mileage criteria. These vehicles typically come with extended warranty coverage directly from the manufacturer, providing greater peace of mind than many standard used cars.

At Horne Nissan and Horne Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Globe, AZ, we want to help you understand the differences between various types of used vehicles so you can make an informed decision. While we offer a wide range of quality used vehicles, including 29 on our lot priced from $8,529 to $52,693, it's important to know the distinctions.

Manufacturer Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) Vehicles

Manufacturer CPO programs are designed to offer used vehicles that closely resemble new ones in terms of quality and reliability. The certification process is strict and standardized across all dealerships for that specific brand. Here's what generally sets them apart:

• Rigorous Inspection: CPO vehicles must pass a multi-point inspection, often covering hundreds of components, as defined by the manufacturer. This inspection is performed by factory-trained technicians.
• Eligibility Requirements: To qualify for CPO status, vehicles typically must meet certain age and mileage limits set by the manufacturer. For example, a vehicle might need to be less than five or six years old and have fewer than 75,000 miles.
• Manufacturer-Backed Warranty: A key benefit of CPO vehicles is the extended warranty coverage, which is backed by the vehicle's manufacturer. This often extends the original factory warranty or provides a new limited warranty for a specific duration or mileage.
• Roadside Assistance and Other Benefits: Many CPO programs include additional perks like roadside assistance, complimentary maintenance, or satellite radio subscriptions.

It's important to ask about the CPO status of any specific vehicle you're interested in on our lot, as program terms can vary by manufacturer and not all used vehicles qualify.

Dealer-Inspected Used Vehicles

Beyond manufacturer CPO programs, most dealerships, including Horne Nissan and Horne Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, offer a selection of used vehicles that have been inspected by our own service teams. These vehicles are a great value and provide a reliable option for many drivers.

• Dealership Inspection: Our technicians perform a thorough inspection of these vehicles to ensure they meet our quality standards and are in good working order. This inspection helps identify and address any immediate concerns.
• Variety of Makes and Models: Dealer-inspected used vehicles encompass a wider range of makes, models, ages, and mileages compared to CPO programs, offering more choices.
• Optional Warranty Extensions: While not typically manufacturer-backed, dealerships may offer extended service contracts or warranties for purchase on these vehicles, providing additional coverage.

Every used vehicle we sell comes with a free Carfax report, giving you transparency into its history. For example, we currently have vehicles like a Used 2023 Ram 1500 Big Horn with 73,501 miles, a Used 2024 Nissan Sentra SV with 60,291 miles, and a Used 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee L Limited with 13,001 miles. Each has been inspected to ensure it meets our standards.

As-Is Used Vehicles

Some used vehicles are sold "as-is." This means the vehicle is sold in its current condition, and the buyer accepts all risks regarding its mechanical or cosmetic state. There are typically no warranties, expressed or implied, from the dealer or manufacturer.

• No Warranty: The primary characteristic of an as-is sale is the absence of a warranty. Any repairs needed after purchase become the responsibility of the buyer.
• Lower Price Point: As-is vehicles often have a lower purchase price compared to CPO or dealer-inspected vehicles, reflecting the lack of included guarantees.
• Buyer Responsibility: It is crucial for buyers to thoroughly inspect as-is vehicles, ideally with a trusted mechanic, before making a purchase decision.
