[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You do know CPO is BS.

? We've bought certified pre-owned cars and never had an issue. Obviously you should do your own due diligence on any car, but the point of CPO for us is the warranty. If you're buying an old enough car maybe it's better to buy it sans warranty from a private seller for less, but it's been worth it to us for two-year-old cars coming off leases.[/quote]

No it hasn't. My friend is a car dealer. For instance I bought a car three years old off lease at auction. It was eligible for the CPO. All that means is one owner no accident. Car came with a four year factory warranty. If they CPO it would have been 3K more.

Instead I paid 75 bucks to dealership, did a front to back inspection and they fixed anything under warranty. I then shopped around as you can buy a factory warranty any dealership in USA, found a good priced one in Midwest, no sales tax and got a five year warranty from factory for 900 bucks.

You just punch CPO in the system and poop CPO, no checks dealership did anything. Other catch is only the same make and model can CPO a car. I bought a used Caddilac at a GM dealer 4k original miles from a CHEVY dealer, could not be CPO as a Chevy dealer, got it for a few grand less. Great car. It is just a marketing tool
