Certified Pre-Owned vehicles have seen a huge gain in popularity in recent years. When the pandemic created supply issues in the automotive industry, people discovered that Certified Pre-Owned vehicles were an excellent alternative to buying new vehicles.

We recently told you about 10 Reasons to Buy Certified Pre-Owned. Let’s zoom in and break down one of the best benefits of buying a Certified Pre-Owned vehicle – the extended warranty.

When you buy a used car that isn’t certified, you get the remainder of the original warranty, if any still exists. If that warranty has expired, you’re left without coverage unless you purchase a new extended warranty. This isn't the case with Certified Pre-Owned vehicles, as they all come with extended warranties.

Let's use BMW as an example. Every BMW Certified vehicle is backed by the BMW Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) Limited Warranty. This provides comprehensive coverage for one year with unlimited miles, after the expiration of the 4-year/50,000-mile BMW New Vehicle/SAV Limited Warranty.

For example, let’s say you’re looking at a Certified Pre-Owned 2020 BMW X3 xDrive30i SUV with 23,500 miles on it. When you purchase that Certified Pre-Owned BMW, you will enjoy the remainder of the original warranty. Once your car reaches the four-year mark or 50,000 miles the BMW Certified Pre-Owned Limited Warranty is triggered. You are then covered for another full year with unlimited miles. If you drive 20 miles or 20,000, you're covered for a full year.

This is one of the main reasons certified pre-owned vehicles have become a consumer favorite. Extended warranties ensure peace of mind, especially since all repairs needed will be completed by certified technicians with only original OEM parts. Most OEMs also allow consumers to even add more coverage like extra time, mileage, or maintenance plans.
