The Benefits of Choosing Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles
Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) vehicles offer the perfect balance between the value of a used car and the peace of mind of a new car purchase. At Canadian Auto Deals, our CPO program provides exceptional value with rigorous inspections, extended warranties, and exclusive benefits that make them smarter choices than standard used vehicles.
What Exactly is a Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle?
CPO vehicles are late-model used cars that have passed a comprehensive multi-point inspection by manufacturer-trained technicians. To qualify for our CPO program, vehicles must meet strict criteria:
- Typically less than 5 years old
- Under 100,000 kilometers
- Clean vehicle history report (no accidents, floods, or salvage titles)
- Pass a 150+ point inspection
- All necessary reconditioning completed
Key Benefits of Choosing CPO
- Extended warranty coverage beyond original factory warranty
- Rigorous inspection process by certified technicians
- Roadside assistance for the duration of the warranty
- Better financing rates than standard used cars
- Higher resale value compared to non-certified vehicles
1. Comprehensive Multi-Point Inspection
Every CPO vehicle undergoes a thorough inspection that covers all major systems:
- Engine performance and diagnostics
- Transmission operation
- Brake system condition
- Suspension components
- Exhaust system inspection
- HVAC system operation
- Electrical system check
- Fluid levels and condition
- Tire tread depth and condition
- Exterior and interior cosmetic standards
"Our CPO inspection process catches 98% of potential issues before you even test drive the vehicle. We fix everything that doesn't meet standards or replace it with genuine parts."
2. Extended Warranty Protection
The most valuable benefit of CPO vehicles is the extended warranty coverage:
3. Better Financing Options
CPO vehicles typically qualify for financing rates much closer to new car rates than standard used cars:
- Average CPO interest rates 1-2% lower than standard used cars
- Longer loan terms available (up to 72 months in some cases)
- Lower down payment requirements
- Special CPO financing promotions throughout the year
Real Customer Savings Example
A recent customer saved $3,217 over the life of their loan by choosing a CPO vehicle over a similar non-certified model, thanks to:
- 1.5% lower interest rate
- $1,000 CPO rebate

4. Higher Resale Value
CPO vehicles retain their value better than non-certified used cars:
- On average, CPO cars sell for 5-10% more than non-certified equivalents
- Easier to sell privately when warranty remains
- Dealers often pay more for CPO trade-ins
- Documented service history increases value

- Know exactly what you're getting (no hidden issues)
