How Is a Cadillac Car Certified?

If you’ve never heard of a certified pre-owned vehicle, you could be missing out on some of the best vehicle purchase options of the 21st Century. Cadillac certified pre-owned models are the best of both worlds for many customers in and around Wilkes-Barre, PA. They are considerably less expensive than new models but offer considerably more warranty coverage than typical used models.

How is this possible? Well, to be considered “certified,” a vehicle naturally must undergo a certification process. The following is a look at what that entails and how the professionals at MotorWorld Cadillac come to the conclusion that a pre-owned model is acceptable for its CPO inventory.

Cadillac Certification Process

To be a CPO model, a Cadillac vehicle must meet the following standards:

• It must be less than 48 months old
• It must have fewer than 50,000 miles on the odometer
• It must go through a rigorous 172-point inspection, including:
  • Under-hood and under-vehicle inspections
  • Exterior and interior inspections
  • Road test
  • Performed scheduled maintenance
• If any areas of the inspection fail, certified Cadillac service professionals must replace the failed components with genuine Cadillac parts

What Comes with a CPO Purchase?

Once a Cadillac vehicle has been certified, Cadillac will offer a continuation of its four-year/50,000-mile warranty. Once that expires, the extended CPO coverage begins. This offers additional coverage for up to six years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first.
