CPO

abbreviationStandard termAutomotive

Certified pre-owned, a classification for used vehicles inspected and backed by the manufacturer.

Certified pre-owned refers to a used vehicle that has passed a rigorous multi-point inspection set by the original automaker. These cars are typically late-model, low-mileage examples that have been reconditioned to factory standards. They are sold through franchised dealerships and come with an extended factory warranty, commanding a premium price over standard used cars.

Heard on the job

We can't sell this trade-in as a CPO because it has aftermarket suspension and missed its 30k service interval.
