Searching for a Used Car? Try a Certified Pre-Owned Chevy

April 8th, 2013 by

used 2012 Chevrolet SilveradoThere was a time when the average driver was encouraged to be doubtful of buying a used car, and the idea of the untrustworthy used car salesman has managed to stick around long past those days. While you should always inspect a used car you’re looking at, the fact is that buying a previously-owned vehicle from a dealership is hardly risky.

Here at Cox Chevrolet, we’re proud of the variety we are able to offer in our used vehicle selection, but we understand some drivers are still a bit suspect. Don’t worry: we’ve got something for you too. Have you heard of a Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) Chevrolet? No? Then read on.

What Does it Mean to be Certified?

Okay, so we have these certified vehicles, but what exactly does that mean? Certified by whom? In order for a vehicle to earn the label of Certified Pre-Owned Chevrolet, it has to pass General Motors’ strict 172-point vehicle inspection that covers everything from cosmetics to performance. Once a used Chevrolet has earned the seal of approval from GM, though, you get so much more.

Beyond the assurance of the inspection process, drivers of CPO Chevy models enjoy:

  • Two-year/30,000-mile CPO Maintenance Plan covering oil changes, tire rotations, and a multipoint vehicle inspection.
  • 12-month/12,000-mile Bumper-to-Bumper Limited Warranty
  • Five-year/100,000-mile Powertrain Warranty with 24/7 roadside assistance
  • Three-day/150-mile Satisfaction Guarantee: If you are unsatisfied with the vehicle, you can exchange it for a different one that better fits your needs.

In addition to all of this, you get access to the vehicle’s history that details past problems and maintenance, as well as trial offers of OnStar and SiriusXM.
