What does certified pre-owned mean? If you have been wondering about the CPO meaning, the team at Tulley Mazda is here to explain the basics. CPO stands for “certified pre-owned.” These gently used vehicles provide additional benefits typically reserved for brand new cars. If you would like to know more about the CPO meaning and why these vehicles are an excellent investment for many Hudson drivers, we have you covered. 


Mazda CPO Vehicles

So, what does certified pre-owned mean when it comes to shopping for used cars? CPO vehicles must meet strict standards set by the manufacturer. Not all used cars qualify for this distinction. Here is what sets Mazda CPO vehicles apart. 

  • CPO Mazda vehicles are late-model cars that have undergone a thorough 160-point inspection. A factory-trained Mazda technician looks at the engine, transmission, A/C, brakes, and much more to ensure everything is in pristine condition. 
  • There is zero deductible on covered repairs.
  • Your Mazda CPO vehicle will come with an AutoCheck® vehicle history report. 

Benefits of Certified Pre-Owned Cars

What makes a CPO Mazda such a smart investment for drivers in the Merrimack area? If you are hesitant to buy used, but a new car is not in the budget, this is the perfect solution:

  • You can buy with confidence knowing that your vehicle has been inspected from top to bottom by a certified expert. 
  • Mazda CPO vehicles come with a warranty for added peace of mind on the Lowell roads.
  • A certified pre-owned warranty from Mazda comes with CPO Limited Vehicle Warranty coverage for 12 months or up to 12,000 miles. There is also the 7-year/100,000-mile CPO Limited Powertrain Warranty. 
  • CPO Mazda drivers can also enjoy Emergency Roadside Assistance for the duration of the 7-year/100,000-mile CPO Limited Powertrain Warranty.

Used vs. Certified Pre-Owned vs. New Vehicles

  • Used Vehicles: Standard used cars tend to be more affordable, and there is usually a larger variety of vehicles in terms of makes, models, features, mileage, and age.
  • Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles: CPO vehicles provide more quality assurance and vehicle history knowledge than normal used cars in addition to some benefits typically only available when buying new.
  • New Vehicles: Expect the latest technologies and the confidence behind the wheel that comes with a brand-new model.
