So you've settled on purchasing a pre-owned vehicle. The next step is to decide between a generic used car or a certified pre-owned vehicle backed a vehicle history report, exclusive warranties, and additional benefits.
There's no wrong decision as Long Island customers from Lake Grove to Centereach explore the used inventory and the certified pre-owned inventory at Port Jeff Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram. Discover the differences between CPO vehicles and used cars you can buy in Port Jefferson Station at our CDJR dealership, located near The Meadow Club and Laurel Ridge Setauket Woods Nature Preserve.
Differences Between Used & CPO Models
Buying a certified pre-owned vehicle in Port Jefferson Station is a way for Patchogue customers to put their confidence in a vehicle they can trust. Not every pre-owned vehicle can become certified. Think of the CPO collection as a special club, backed by benefits and higher quality standards.
CPO Models Are Closer to Like-New Vehicles
When purchasing a certified pre-owned vehicle, Port Jefferson Station customers are taking home a used car from the last five model years with no more than 75,000 miles on the odometer. Generic used cars near Lake Grove can have any mileage reading and be from any model year.
CPO Vehicles Come with Warranties & Benefits
To give Centereach used car buyers confidence with their decision, all FCA-certified vehicles come with a CARFAX® Vehicle History Report™ detailing the vehicle's history.
If Lake Grove customers ever encounter issues, an FCA certified pre-owned vehicle covers them with a factory-backed 7-year/100,000-mile Powertrain Limited Warranty, a 3-month/3,000-mile Maximum Care Coverage plan, and 24-Hour Towing with Roadside Assistance.
More Rigorous Testing for CPO Models
While all of our used cars in Port Jefferson Station are inspected to ensure quality, a certified pre-owned vehicle undergoes a more rigorous, comprehensive 125-point inspection using authentic Mopar® parts in the reconditioning process. This should give Smithtown used car buyers additional peace of mind when choosing certified.
Most Used Vehicles Are More Affordable
Due to fewer certifications, generally higher mileage and older model years, no additional warranty, and no added benefits, used vehicles often have more affordable prices, designed for Patchogue customers prioritizing their budget and St. James shoppers hoping to save money.
