At Mazda of Orange, located in Orange, California, we proudly offer a wide selection of certified pre-owned vehicles for customers looking for a great deal. Keep reading to learn more about these vehicles, and find out how you can benefit from buying a certified pre-owned vehicle.
A certified pre-owned (CPO) vehicle is a used car that meets a set of manufacturer requirements to ensure continued value and operations. These vehicles offer customers the ability to purchase a pre-owned vehicle without the common risks and unknowns linked with buying a used car. Customers looking for a recent model with low mileage and high dependability can benefit from the features and qualifications of certified pre-owned inventories.
A CPO vehicle gives you the benefit of reduced outlay and maintenance costs, as well as guaranteed reliability and safety. The lower starting price, versus new, also allows you to widen your vehicle search, safe in the knowledge that whatever you choose has been rigorously checked before sale.
Purchasing a pre-owned vehicle offers savings on both the initial purchase price, and the ongoing costs associated with owning a car. Not only does a CPO vehicle come with a discounted retail price, but owning a used vehicle can also lower your insurance rates, and reduce the cost of repairs and replacement parts. The lower price of a pre-owned car versus brand-new also leaves you with fewer fees, lower monthly payments, and a reduced interest rate on any financing.
While the up-front price of a CPO vehicle may appear higher than that of its non-certified equivalent, the car will have had to pass rigorous inspections in order to earn the ‘Certified Pre-Owned’ label. These initial checks and services will result in fewer repairs, replacements, and recalls over the lifespan of the vehicle, offering significant financial savings over time.
As soon as you purchase a brand-new vehicle, the value of the car steeply begins to depreciate. However, the price of a CPO vehicle already factors in the vehicle’s depreciation and creates a retail price that more accurately reflects the worth of the vehicle. The requirements and inspections of the CPO cars also work to ensure that the vehicle will continue to provide high-quality transportation and operations for the customer, without a steep decline in its value and condition.
Every Mazda CPO car includes a full Autocheck vehicle history report. This report details the car’s previous owners, service records, maintenance schedule, and any collision reports or part replacements. When shopping for a CPO vehicle, you can ask to view the history report before you make your purchase, enabling you to use the information provided to determine the care, condition, and value of the vehicle before committing to your purchase.
Your choice of suitable new cars will always be limited by your budget and your list of required features. However, with a certified pre-owned vehicle you can widen your search without compromising on price or function. The constant rotation of inventories from trade-ins and dealer purchases results in a large and diverse stock with a huge range of makes, models, and trim levels for you to choose from. You can also browse our inventory and compare vehicles to find the car that best suits your needs.
The certification process for pre-owned Mazda vehicles requires each one to meet strict requirements set by the manufacturer. Each vehicle undergoes a 160-point inspection, performed by a Mazda-certified technician who understands the proper conditions, parts, and operations of each make and model. The inspection covers every component of the vehicle, from the overall engine operations and parts, to the condition of the headrests.
Some of the certification requirements focus on the age and mileage of the vehicle. Only Mazda models less than six years old with under 70,000 miles qualify for the CPO label. This ensures that the vehicle and engine are still operating effectively and efficiently for the new owner.
Your Certified Pre-Owned Mazda includes warranty specials that further enhance and secure the safety and value of your vehicle. Every Mazda CPO vehicle that remains in the qualifying period for its original 3-year/36,000-mile warranty retains its coverage for the new owner for the remaining duration of the policy. In addition, the CPO Limited Vehicle Warranty covers another 12-Months, or up to 12,000-Miles, with no deductible on the included repairs and terms.
Not only does your vehicle follow the original warranty and the Limited Vehicle Warranty, but CPO Mazda models also receive a 7-year/100,000-mile Limited Powertrain Warranty. This plan covers the parts and systems of your powertrain operations, and provides you with guaranteed repairs. For even more safety and security in your purchase, the Powertrain Warranty also includes 24-hour emergency roadside assistance, with constant access to Mazda-certified technicians for towing, tire problems, fuel delivery, and other roadside issues.
