Why Buy a Used Vehicle

When shopping for a car, buyers have a few choices: new, used, and certified pre-owned. New vehicles come with warranties, the latest features, and the new car smell. They also come with a new-car sticker price. Used cars have lower prices than new cars, and many have the same popular features as new cars.

Car shoppers who want a late-model used car with low mileage can turn to certified pre-owned models. When shopping for a new-to-you car, it’s helpful to understand the differences between a CPO vs. used Honda.

Benefits of a Certified Pre-Owned Honda

Certified pre-owned Honda cars, trucks, and SUVs are late-model vehicles with low mileage and clean vehicle history reports. To qualify as a certified pre-owned car, Honda vehicles must pass an extensive 182-point inspection conducted by Honda-trained technicians. When considering a Honda for the CPO program, they must be no more than six years old and have less than 80,000 miles.

If the late-model Honda passes the inspection, Honda includes one of three powertrain warranties. The HondaTrue Certified vehicles between 2017 and 2022 get a 7 year/100,000 Powertrain Warranty, and so do the HondaTrue Certified+ models between 2021 and 2022. HondaTrue Used vehicles get a 100 days/5,000 miles PowerTrain Warranty if they are between the 2012-2022 model years.

If the Honda has a remaining manufacturer’s warranty, the new owner gets the remainder of it. CPO Honda models also come with Roadside Assistance, up to two complimentary oil changes, Concierge Service, and three months of SiriusXM Satellite Radio.

When you choose a Honda CPO, you get to take advantage of special financing. Our expert finance team can help you find a rate and term that meets your budget. Our finance experts can also help you with additional warranty coverage.

Used Cars vs. CPO Cars

At Honda of Slidell, we also have an impressive inventory of used cars from Honda and other automakers. These models tend to be older and have higher mileage than the acceptable limits for CPO cars. When buying a used car, shoppers can add extended warranty protection for an additional fee.

For peace of mind, certified pre-owned vehicles come with a multi-point inspection, CarFax vehicle history report, and reconditioning, but used vehicles do not. Before buying a used vehicle, we recommend having it inspected, so you know what you are getting. Used vehicles have lower car prices than those involved in the certified pre-owned programs.
