Lincoln CPO Vs Pre-Owned: Is There a Difference?

It’s time to buy a used vehicle—but when shopping, you’re sure to come across Lincoln Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) models and basic pre-owned cars, so it’s natural to wonder if there’s a real difference. After all, both inventories feature a massive variety of quality rides—and both allow you to engage in exhilarating cruises—however, the benefits you receive with each form of vehicle vary heavily. Follow along with us today as we take a closer look at the differences between CPO vs pre-owned—and don’t forget to visit us at Livermore Lincoln to test drive your favorite models.

First Things First: How Is CPO Different from Used?

In short, Lincoln CPO models come with a variety of benefits you won’t find with your run-of-the-mill used car, starting with a super-strict 200-point inspection to help ensure everything works as intended and protect you from purchasing a lemon. Also, CPO models come with their special set of protections, like a Comprehensive Limited Warranty Coverage on more than 1000 parts to offer peace of mind in the rare instance of a malfunction or faulty part. We’ll also throw in a Vehicle History Report so that you can see the history and see if any damage occurred in the past, like flooding or accidents. When trouble arises on the side of the road, Certified Pre-Owned vehicles come to the rescue with 24-Hour Roadside Assistance—any day of the year (even holidays) to bring gas, fix a flat, and cover nearly anything more that pops up.

What Types of Vehicles Will I Find with a Lincoln CPO?

Trying to get behind the wheel of a Lincoln car or SUV from a recent model year? We have you covered, as our Certified Pre-Owned Program often sells relatively new and low-mileage vehicles from your favorite models, including the Corsair when you want to embark on city adventures in a compact SUV. You can also find ultra-trendy and contemporary crossovers like the MKC to add a touch of style to your luxurious cruises. Check in often, and you’ll also sometimes find legends like the Navigator for uncompromised power and comfort wherever your tasks and adventures call. That’s only the start of what you could find in our Lincoln CPO inventory—however, since this is still a pre-owned category, you’ll need to act fast when you see something you’ll like before someone else snags your favorite cruiser.
