Certified Pre-Owned

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A Certified Pre-Owned or CPO, car is a type of used car. Most often late-model, they differ from run of the mill used cars by having been refurbished, and certified by the original dealer as being as good as new. They also typically include an extended warranty from the manufacturer. Luxury marques Lexus and Mercedes-Benz were among the first to create CPO programs in the 1990s.^[1]
