What Does Certified Pre-Owned Mean? | Buick & GMC CPO Guide

2022 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali Driving by Water
 

A Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) vehicle is a high-quality used car that has been rigorously inspected, refurbished, and certified by the manufacturer to meet specific mechanical and cosmetic standards. For Buick and GMC, this means you receive a vehicle that drives like new but comes with a used-market price tag.

What Are the Requirements for Buick, GMC CPO Vehicles?

Not every used car can become a certified model. To qualify for the Buick, GMC CPO program, a vehicle must pass a strict vetting process to ensure long-term reliability.

  • Model Year: The vehicle must be within the current 6 model years.

  • Mileage: The odometer must show fewer than 75,000 miles.

  • Vehicle History: Every car must have a clean title and a satisfactory CARFAX® or AutoCheck® vehicle history report.

  • 172-Point Inspection: A Buick, GMC-certified technician performs a 172-point inspection and reconditioning process. This covers everything from engine performance and safety systems to the condition of the interior.

What Are the Benefits of Buying a Buick or GMC CPO Vehicle?

Choosing a CPO vehicle at Tulley Buick GMC near Salem, MA offers peace of mind that a standard used car cannot match. Key benefits include:

  • Factory-Backed Warranties: Every CPO vehicle includes a 6-Year/100,000-Mile Powertrain Limited Warranty and a 12-Month/12,000-Mile Bumper-to-Bumper Limited Warranty with $0 deductible.

  • CPO Scheduled Maintenance: Enjoy two included maintenance visits within 2 years or 24,000 miles, covering oil changes, tire rotations, and multi-point inspections.

  • Roadside Assistance: 24/7 Roadside Assistance and courtesy transportation are included for the duration of the powertrain warranty.
