INFINITI CPO Meaning

So what does certified pre-owned mean when it’s an INFINITI? A certified pre-owned INFINITI is a pre-owned INFINITI that fits a series of requirements, distinguishing it in quality from other pre-owned vehicles. Not just any vehicle can become certified pre-owned—to qualify for the CPO program, pre-owned INFINITI models are held to strict criteria. What does “certified pre-owned” mean when it comes to INFINITI models?

• Model Year: Certified pre-owned INFINITI vehicles must be younger than five years old.
• Miles: In order to be certified, an INFINITI must have fewer than 60,000 miles on the odometer.
• Vehicle History Report: Each car must have a thorough and satisfactory vehicle history report, proving that the recommended maintenance schedule in the owner’s manual was followed.
• Inspection: A INFINITI-certified dealership must perform a multi-point inspection for quality. For INFINITI of Orland Park, it is a167-point inspection that covers the entire vehicle.

INFINITI Certified Pre-Owned Select is another level of certification from INFINITI, available on eligible models up to 10 years old and 100,000 miles driven.

Benefits of Certified Pre-Owned Cars

If you are hesitant to spend the money for a brand-new car and nervous about trying a pre-owned model, then a CPO vehicle is the perfect choice:

• You can buy with confidence knowing that your vehicle has been inspected from top to bottom by a certified expert. 
• Every CPO car comes with a comprehensive warranty package to protect your investment.
• A certified pre-owned vehicle from INFINITI comes with a 6-year/75,000-mile or 6-year/unlimited-mile comprehensive warranty, along with a year of pre-paid maintenance included in the first year of ownership and up to five days of rental reimbursement.

Pre-Owned vs. Certified Pre-Owned vs. New Vehicles

• Pre-Owned Vehicles: Tend to have lower prices and a larger variety of vehicles in terms of makes, models, features, mileage, and age.
• Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles: A great middle ground, with amenities for a lower price than in a new vehicle, but with more quality assurance and vehicle history knowledge than with a normal used vehicle.
• New Vehicles: Give you the latest technologies and the peace of mind that comes with a brand-new model.
