What is the Difference Between Used & Certified Pre-Owned?

Comparing CPO vs. used? You’re not alone! Every potential buyer should be aware of the two main differences between used and certified pre-owned vehicles:

• Certified pre-owned vehicles must meet strict age and mileage requirements. Used vehicles that meet these criteria must then pass an extensive multipoint inspection.
• If a used vehicle is certified, it is put up for sale with warranty coverage and other driver benefits, including roadside assistance in many cases.

So, while all certified pre-owned vehicles are used, not all used vehicles are certified pre-owned. Learn more about buying a used car vs. buying a Jaguar CPO vehicle by reading on.

Why Should You Buy a Used Jaguar?

Most Rumson and Colts Neck drivers know that used vehicles are often more affordable than their new counterparts, but this is just one small part of the story. Here’s what you should know about buying a used car:

• Any used vehicle for sale at our Eatontown dealership can be a good investment. However, since there are a wide range of options in the used marketplace, you’ll need to do research to find the model that’s best-suited for your needs.
• Used vehicles tend to lose their value more slowly than new models. That’s partly because pre-owned vehicles have put their steepest period of depreciation behind them, but it’s also due to the fact that used vehicles are lasting longer than ever.
• Compared to certified pre-owned vehicles, used vehicles are generally priced more affordably. However, since you won’t receive a warranty, you should expect to spend a little more on upkeep over the coming years.
• Many think that they’ll need to compromise on luxury if they buy used, but this isn’t actually the case. Buying used makes it easier to afford an upper-level trim or a more powerful engine.

We offer pre-owned vehicle specials on a wide range of models in our inventory. You might even be able to find a used car priced under $10K!

Why Should You Buy a Certified Pre-Owned Jaguar?

When you choose a certified pre-owned Jaguar, you can be absolutely certain that you’ve chosen a reliable model. Models must be less than five years old, with fewer than 60,000 miles, in order to qualify. Candidates for certification then undergo a 165-point inspection. We’ll identify issues and make repairs as needed, using nothing but genuine OEM parts.

If you do choose a Certified Pre-Owned Jaguar, you’ll receive each of the following benefits and protections:

• Up to seven years or 100,000 miles of transferable limited warranty coverage
• 24/7 roadside assistance for as long as you remain covered by a new or CPO warranty
• Complimentary Vehicle history Report with service history, ownership history, and more
• All warrantable repairs carried out at an authorized service center, with no deductible
