Autotrader taps 20 ‘Must-Shop’ CPOs
Autotrader recently named its "Must-Shop CPO Cars," a list of the 10 top luxury and 10 non-luxury certified pre-owned vehicles shoppers should consider if looking to purchase a CPO this year.
Autotrader said nearly one in four car shoppers are considering purchasing a CPO vehicle, according to its 2016 CPO study.
"With a certified pre-owned vehicle, consumers get great value in a gently used vehicle that has been heavily evaluated by a manufacturer-specific checklist," Autotrader executive editor Brian Moody said in a news release.
"Also, many CPO programs offer new-car perks like special financing, roadside assistance and rental car coverage. Buying a CPO vehicle gives you the feeling of a brand new car without spending every dollar you have."
Autotrader said the criteria used for selecting its list of top luxury CPO vehicles included a retail price of $65,000 or less, a manufacturer-backed certified warranty with a minimum of six years or 100,000 miles of total powertrain coverage included in the purchase price.
For non-luxury CPO vehicles, Autotrader considered those with a retail price of $40,000 or less, a manufacturer-backed certified warranty with a minimum of five years or 100,000 miles of total powertrain coverage included in the purchase price and an overall federal government safety rating of at least four out of five stars.
