“CPO warranties and special financing offers are two important elements of CPO programs as identified by buyers, and are also the two elements that see the most changes from year to year as manufacturers look for ways to attract consumers,” Intellichoice analyst Debbie Eldridge said in a news release.

“Several manufacturers now offer multiple warranties based on the age and mileage of the vehicle, and some manufacturers offer special financing every month while others will have specials throughout the year.”

U.S. News & World Report gave its inaugural Best Certified Pre-Owned Program honors to Lexus.

At Vincentric, winning the brand awards this year were Ford, Lincoln, Toyota and Audi. Ford secured the most model-level awards, as well, receiving recognition in eight categories.
