What Are Certified Pre-Owned Cars?

So, what is a certified pre-owned car? As noted above, certified pre-owned vehicles are low-mileage, late-model cars that must pass a rigorous multi-point inspection in order to be certified. Once the vehicle has passed inspection, it is eligible for benefits such as warranty coverage, roadside assistance, special financing, and more.
