CPO vs. Used Vehicles

While new Toyota vehicles are a popular choice for many shoppers, we understand that not everyone wants to take home a brand-new model. Fortunately, the pre-owned vehicles available at our dealership have a lot to offer. When you’re browsing through our selection of pre-owned models, you’ll likely notice there are two main types: certified and standard.

But, what is the difference between used and certified pre-owned? Both options have had previous owners, but certified pre-owned vehicles come with additional perks that can have you enjoy added peace of mind on the Austin roads. Compare CPO vs. used vehicles today with Toyota of Cedar Park, and find out which one is a better fit for your Leander lifestyle!

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

There are advantages to both pre-owned and certified pre-owned vehicles. If you’re having a hard time deciding which option is right for your Georgetown adventures, we’re here to help. Fortunately, our standard used vehicles have been hand-selected by our team to ensure that you’re getting a high-quality ride.

However, certified pre-owned models have additional inspections and benefits that you can take advantage of. So, what is the difference between used and certified pre-owned? Let’s take a look at how these two pre-owned vehicle options are different from each other:

Pre-Owned Vehicles

• Mileage: Standard pre-owned vehicles can offer a wide range of mileage. Keep in mind that a high-mileage pre-owned vehicle doesn’t mean that it’ll be unreliable. It’s more important that the pre-owned vehicle you’re choosing has been properly maintained.
• Sold Anywhere: You can find pre-owned vehicles almost anywhere, from a dealership to a private party seller. However, just be aware that purchasing from a private seller may come with some risks as there’s not as much of a trusted reputation as there would be with a local dealership.
• Selection: Standard pre-owned vehicles can almost come in all shapes and sizes. Our selection of used cars isn’t limited to options from Toyota, making it easier for you to find the right model.

Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles

• Mileage: CPO Toyota vehicles have to have less than 85,000 miles, allowing you to enjoy a low-mileage ride.
• Age: Unlike standard used cars, a certified pre-owned Toyota vehicle can’t be any older than 6 model years old.
• Inspection: While we do our best to ensure our pre-owned vehicles are of the highest quality, CPO models go through a rigorous 160-point quality assurance inspection for even more security.
• Warranty: All certified Toyota vehicles are offered with a 12-month or 12,000-mile (whichever comes first) limited comprehensive warranty and a 7-year or 100,000-mile (whichever comes first) limited powertrain warranty in case anything comes up during your ownership.
