Have you been thinking about buying a Cadillac but aren’t sure what to look for? Consider a Certified Pre-Owned, or CPO, Cadillac. The CPO program is a great way to ensure you get the best second-hand Cadillac. Compared with buying a new car, a used car can help you fit a luxury car into your budget.  

How Do Cars Qualify for the CPO Program?

All pre-owned cars that are released to a dealership are inspected for the CPO program. Vehicles must meet a number of criteria in order to qualify for the program. Eligible vehicles cannot be older than four years or have over 50,000 miles.

CPO Inspection

Each car must also pass a 172-point inspection before it can qualify for the certified program. Mechanics must train to inspect and certify CPO vehicles. Some of the things the mechanics check during the inspection include: 

  • Oil and engine filter. 
  • Air filter.
  • Drive belt.
  • Wiper blades.
  • Battery.
  • Tires (including tread thickness).
  • Brake pads.
  • Cleanliness of interior.
  • Scratches or dings on exterior.
  • Transmission.
  • Alignment

What Comes With The CPO Qualification

Besides a five-year manufacturer-backed warranty that covers most major vehicles components, the CPO Qualification also comes with the following perks:

  • Three-month free trial of SiriusXM radio — you can also listen online or in the app.
  • Subscription to GM’s OnStar system for three months, with the option to pay to continue the service.
  • 24/7 roadside assistance.
  • Complimentary vehicle history report, such as CarFax.
  • Free loaner vehicle or rental car while getting warranty repairs.

You can also sign up for the Cadillac Rewards program. You’ll earn points for every dollar spent at the dealership, including service and parts, which you can redeem later.
