What are Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles?

CPO vehicles are used cars that have undergone a rigorous inspection, safety review, and reconditioning by factory-trained technicians. The requirements for certification differ across automakers. But in general, a vehicle should meet the age, mileage, and condition criteria set by the manufacturer. Compared to regular used vehicles, CPO units typically come with extended warranties and include additional perks such as roadside assistance.

Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram CPO Programs

When you buy a CPO vehicle from any of these automakers, you’re getting not just a quality used car but also peace of mind. To be eligible for their CPO program, vehicles must be no more than 5 years old, have a mileage of 75,000 miles or less, and have a clean title. They also need to pass a comprehensive 125-point (for Chrysler, Jeep, and Ram) or 169-point (for Dodge) inspection performed by factory-trained technicians. And before they’re sold, they’re reconditioned to factory standards, using only genuine parts when needed.

Benefits of Purchasing a Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, or Ram Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle

Every CPO vehicle from these brands comes with a CARFAX Vehicle History Report. This provides important information about its ownership and service history, as well as Department of Motor Vehicles-reported accidents and other events that may affect its condition and value. You can also enjoy a three-month trial to SiriusXM with every CPO purchase, as well as 24-hour roadside assistance that includes towing, gas delivery, lockout service, battery jumpstarts, and flat tire changes.

A major benefit of purchasing a CPO vehicle is the warranty that comes with it. CPO Chrysler, Jeep, and Ram vehicles come with a powertrain limited warranty that lasts seven years or 100,000 miles and Maximum Care Coverage for three months or 3,000 miles, whichever comes first. A three-month or 3,000-mile Maximum Care limited warranty covers Dodge CPO vehicles.

Apart from warranties, a CARFAX Buyback Guarantee backs Dodge and Ram CPO units. This means CARFAX will buy the vehicle back from you for the original purchase price or 110% of its current CARFAX History-Based Value, whichever is lower, if the vehicle history report doesn’t indicate that the vehicle has a branded title. A brand in the title indicates a serious problem, such as a junked or reconstructed car. The guarantee provides additional assurance that you won’t be stuck with a vehicle that’s in poor condition.

How To Find the Right CPO Vehicle

Purchasing a CPO vehicle from a reputable dealership can save you time and money in the long run. You’re already certain of its quality and history, and you can rest assured that it’s covered by a warranty. However, it’s still important to consider key factors, such as your budget, desired features, and vehicle type, to determine the best CPO vehicle for you. Here are some tips to get you started:

• List the features you need and want: You can then filter your search results in our used car inventory to find models that fit your criteria.
• Use our payment calculator: This can help you determine your monthly payment for a vehicle that fits your budget.
• Make use of our Search by Payment tool: Narrow your vehicle search in terms of your preferred monthly payment by providing your downpayment, preferred loan term, credit score tier, and trade-in value of your current vehicle, if applicable.
• Schedule a test drive: Experiencing the vehicle you’re interested in firsthand can help you decide if it’s the right make and model for you.
