You've heard of new cars and used cars, but many Schaumburg-area drivers often wonder what it means when a vehicle is certified pre-owned. This category of Toyota models combines the high quality and condition of a new model with the lower and more affordable price point of a used model, allowing you to enjoy the best of both worlds.
ĀCPO Meaning
Not just any vehicle can become certified pre-owned. In order for a vehicle to qualify for the CPO program, they are held to strict criteria:
- Each car must be a newer model year
- Each car must have a lower amount of miles
- A certified dealership must undergo a multi-point inspection for quality

Benefits of Certified Pre-Owned Cars
If you are unsure about spending the money for a brand new car and worried about driving a used model, then a CPO vehicle is the perfect choice:
- You can buy with confidence knowing that your car has been inspected from top to bottom by a certified expert.
- Every CPO car comes with a comprehensive warranty package to protect your investment.
Buying Certified Pre-Owned vs. Buying a Used Car
Have you wondered the difference between buying a certified pre-owned Toyota versus a used vehicle? A CPO vehicle has gone through thorough inspections and manufacturer testing to ensure it still meets the original requirements. CPO vehicles, which are backed by a limited warranty, have the manufacturer's "stamp of approval." This approval makes certified pre-owned vehicles the favorite option among Chicagoland drivers.
