CPO Vs. Used Cars In Houma, LA
If you’re purchasing a car, but have decided against purchasing a brand-new vehicle, you have two options for purchasing a pre-owned vehicle: certified pre-owned (CPO) and traditional used. What’s the difference between these two kinds of used cars? To start, a CPO car will likely have a higher price tag, but it could also be a much nicer model than a used car, while a traditional used car will likely have a significantly lower price tag as it may have more wear and tear. Second, CPO vehicles have to meet much stricter criteria to be listed for sale than a used vehicle, usually in terms of the mileage and overall condition of the car.
We know choosing just the right pre-owned model for your needs can feel daunting, so we’re here to help you make the best decision for your lifestyle and budget. At Barker Buick GMC, you can count on our team of used car professionals to help you find a pre-owned model that meets all of your criteria from our wide inventory. You can get started today by checking out our CPO and used models online or in-person at Barker Buick GMC.
Buick and GMC CPO Vehicles
When you buy a CPO Buick or GMC vehicle, you can rest easy knowing that you’re not only getting a good deal, but you’re getting a pre-owned vehicle that has been thoroughly vetted and inspected. Many CPO vehicles are lease returns, which means they have only had one driver and have been routinely serviced at timely intervals. In order for a Buick or GMC vehicle to be Certified Pre-Owned, they must meet a stringent set of standards set by General Motors:
- Must be within current six model years
- Must not have more than 75,000 miles on the odometer
- Must have a clean title and pass a Vehicle History Report
- Must pass 172-point inspection and reconditioning
- Must have any outstanding recall work completed before listing for sale
If any of these criteria are not met, the vehicle cannot be listed for sale as a CPO vehicle. That means when you see “Certified Pre-Owned” in front of a listing you can shop with confidence knowing you’re getting the highest-quality used vehicle available.
