Whether it's your first car or your next one in a line of vehicles, buying a new automobile is an exciting step in life. Many prospective buyers are torn between the affordable prices of a used vehicle and the quality and features of a new one. A great compromise between these two choices is to opt for a certified pre-owned (CPO) vehicle. Purchasing a certified pre-owned (CPO) vehicle can come with many benefits, like better financing plans and extended warranty protection. It's definitely worth considering CPOs when you're shopping for a new car, and here at Volvo Cars Mission Viejo, we are ready to help you every step of the way.
Read on to explore everything you need to know about buying a certified pre-owned Volvo so you can determine if this is a good choice for you.
What Is a CPO Volvo?
Why Buy a Certified Pre-owned Volvo?
Better than used cars and more financially feasible than new ones, a certified pre-owned Volvo may be the perfect option for you and yours. Here are some advantages of this popular choice:
Extended Warranty
While getting a warranty for a new car is a relatively simple process, getting a warranty for a used car can be tricky. This is because vehicle manufacturers aren't fully aware of the conditions of the car. However, with CPOs, you don't have to worry about any of that. Certified pre-owned vehicles have special extended warranty programs that can serve your car for many years.
High-Quality Vehicles
Vehicles in CPO programs usually need to meet strict standards and pass specific dealer inspections to earn certification. This means you can buy a CPO with full confidence, knowing that it's a high-quality vehicle that will last you many years to come.
Satisfaction Guarantees
Some CPO programs offer satisfaction guarantees. These allow buyers to return the same vehicle and get another one for a limited amount of time or mileage. Check with your dealer to learn about their particular offerings.
Financing Options
Since we fully inspect CPO vehicles for quality, this often results in better financing deals. So, even though a CPO may cost more than a typical used vehicle, you can save money by securing yourself a better financing deal. This allows you to get a great vehicle at an affordable price. Talk with our finance department today to learn more about your options.
Recycling
Buying a pre-owned car can be better for the environment, as you're recycling car materials instead of using new ones. Many CPO models also have available hybrid technology, which can add even more protection for the environment and help you save money on gas.
How Does a Car Get Certified?
At Volvo Cars Mission Viejo, we take certified pre-owned cars seriously. Each Volvo must meet our Certified By Volvo criteria, including passing a 170+ point inspection, having less than 80,000 miles, and receiving a clean CARFAX Vehicle History Report before earning certification. Of course, if any components need to be repaired or replaced, we do that too, along with checking the exterior and powertrain very carefully. If that's not enough, we'll even perform a road test to make sure the vehicle is in great shape. That way, you can choose a Certified by Volvo vehicle with confidence.
Each CPO Volvo has the backing of Volvo's best-in-class warranty, which fully covers every part of your vehicle that's not specifically excluded. Keep in mind that this coverage includes the replacement or repair of thousands of components. We are quite confident in the durability of our certified pre-owned vehicles. However, life can be unexpected. If you ever find yourself on the side of the road needing help, our warranty includes free roadside assistance and a zero deductible for all warranty visits.
What Will I Get With a Certified Pre-owned Volvo?
When you buy a certified pre-owned Volvo from us, you can rest easy knowing it's just as good as new, without the huge price tag. Here's an outline of everything you'll get with this type of vehicle:
- A five-year, unlimited mile exclusionary warranty.
- A Volvo-certified comprehensive inspection covering over 170+ points.
- 24/7/365 Volvo roadside assistance for any unexpected situations.
- A clean CARFAX Vehicle History Report with a buy-back guarantee.
- No deductible for covered warranty visits.
- A fully transferable plan.
- Volvo Genuine Service.
- Stringent eligibility rules.

Each of our CPO vehicles also has the backing of Volvo's best-in-class warranty. This warranty fully covers many parts of your vehicle, including the repair or replacement of thousands of components. So, even though you're getting a vehicle that's guaranteed to be in great shape, if something unfortunate should still arise, you'll have a great warranty to fall back on. Even better, this warranty is fully transferable so if you decide to sell the vehicle, the warranty remains, improving the resale value of the Volvo.
All CPO Volvos with model year 2015.5 and newer also receive a complimentary one-year subscription to the Volvo Cars app. This software provides connected services and exclusive features to allow you to complete various activities while on the go, saving you time. For example, you can remote-start, lock, and unlock your vehicle from a distance and access emergency roadside services immediately, all from your smartphone or smartwatch.
