If you're in the market for a pre-owned Jeep, you might have come across the term 'certified pre-owned' (CPO). These CPO vehicles provide a level of assurance to used car buyers that is typically associated with purchasing a brand-new car, but without the hefty new car price tag. Every FCA Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle (CPOV) retains its manufacturer's warranty, adheres to stringent quality standards, and undergoes a rigorous inspection process. Moreover, these CPOVs must meet specific age and mileage criteria to qualify for the certified pre-owned program. Keep reading below to discover the compelling reasons why your next used Jeep should be a certified pre-owned one!

Requirements for a Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle

Before a used Jeep can qualify for inclusion in the FCA Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle program, it must meet stringent eligibility criteria. These criteria dictate that the vehicle must be no more than five years old, have fewer than 75,000 miles on the odometer, possess a clean title, and not have any frame damage. Additionally, any aftermarket parts installed on the vehicle must not compromise its safety, operation, or emissions. Once these prerequisites are satisfied, the vehicle is admitted into the program and subjected to a meticulous 125-point inspection conducted by a factory-trained mechanic. This comprehensive examination encompasses a visual assessment of the mechanical components, both inside and outside of the vehicle, a road test to evaluate its performance and instrument functionality, preventive maintenance services, and a thorough interior, exterior, and engine bay cleaning akin to a white-glove treatment. As an example of the inspection process, the mechanic scrutinizes the brake pads, ensuring they have no less than 50% of pad lining remaining. During the road test, the technician ensures that all vehicle instruments are in proper working order and that the vehicle functions as expected. Subsequently, the oil and filter, as well as the differential and transmission fluid, are changed as part of the maintenance regimen. Finally, a meticulous examination is conducted to identify any cosmetic defects such as missing or incorrectly positioned emblems, and the vehicle undergoes a comprehensive cleaning to restore both its interior and exterior to a pristine state.

Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle Warranties

The selection of the five-year/75,000-mile threshold for certified pre-owned program eligibility was not arbitrary. This specific timeframe was established based on the fact that all new Jeeps roll off the factory floor with an impressive 7-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty. When you invest in a Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) Jeep, you're guaranteed to have a minimum of two years or 25,000 miles remaining on that warranty. This assurance means that in the unlikely event of any issues affecting the powertrain components, encompassing the engine, transmission, and driveline, your certified service center, such as the one here at Akins Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, will cover all repair or replacement costs at no expense to you. Furthermore, for added peace of mind, extended warranty options are available for certified pre-owned Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram vehicles, including Powertrain Care, Maximum Care, and Added Care Plus plans. Each of these plans offers coverage akin to the new vehicle warranty, ensuring continued protection even after the original warranty has expired.

Other Benefits of Owning a Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle

The advantages of purchasing a Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) vehicle extend well beyond the rigorous inspection and comprehensive warranties. For instance, all CPOV owners enjoy the convenience of 24/7 roadside assistance, encompassing services like towing to the nearest certified service center, jump starts, fuel delivery, lockout assistance, and flat tire repairs. Moreover, when you schedule a service appointment at an authorized service center, every CPO vehicle includes a rental allowance, ensuring you have access to a rental car while your car is being serviced. Additionally, when you discover a certified pre-owned Jeep that piques your interest, a member of the Akins CDJR sales team will gladly provide you with a comprehensive Carfax vehicle history report. This report offers insights into the vehicle's service records, prior usage, and any recall information, empowering you to make an informed decision. Lastly, each CPO vehicle comes with a three-month trial subscription to Sirius XM satellite radio, delivering a premium audio experience to enhance your driving pleasure.
