Used vs. CPO Vehicles

What is the difference between used and certified pre-owned vehicles? While all of the used Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram models here at Ron Sayer's Chrysler Jeep Dodge must meet our high-standard of quality and performance, CPO models must meet an even higher standard. The qualifications to achieve certified pre-owned status are as follows:

• Pass a rigorous 125-point inspection exceeding our qualification standards, mechanical standards, maintenance standards, appearance standards, and detailing standards
• Come with all ownership materials
• Fall within recent model years
• Must not exceed our maximum CPO mileage limits

CPO models are certainly more affordable than a brand new vehicle since they don’t suffer from initial drive-off-the-lot depreciation; traditional used vehicles are even more affordable. Used vehicles will be your least expensive option, and for a certified pre-owned model, the additional costs come the additional confidence you’ll have on Pocatello roads with:

• 3-Month/3,000-Mile Maximum Care Warranty
• Up to 7-Year/100,000 Mile Powertrain Limited Warranty
• Lifetime Certified Upgrade Plans
• Towing/Roadside Assistance like jump start, lockout, and gas delivery services
• A full CARFAX® Vehicle History Report
