When it comes to buying your next car, the age-old question remains—should you buy new, used, or certified pre-owned (CPO)? While a used car might be the more affordable option, what if you could combine affordability with the peace of mind that comes from buying new? Certified pre-owned cars offer just that. They bridge the gap between new and used vehicles by undergoing rigorous inspections and meeting specific quality standards before being sold.
If you’ve been thinking about a Mazda, you’re in luck. Mazda Certified Pre-Owned vehicles offer exceptional quality and benefits for buyers, ensuring you’re making a smart investment. Let’s explore why opting for a CPO Mazda could be one of the best decisions for your next car purchase, and how it differs from buying a typical used car.
What Makes a Certified Pre-Owned Car Different?
Before we talk about Mazda specifically, it’s essential to understand what makes certified pre-owned cars stand out from traditional used vehicles.
CPO Cars Undergo a Thorough Inspection
One of the biggest differentiators is the inspection process. Unlike typical used cars, which might only have a basic checkup, certified pre-owned cars go through a detailed, multi-point inspection process to ensure they’re in top condition. This includes inspections of major systems like the engine, transmission, brakes, and more.
Extended or Limited Warranties
Certified pre-owned vehicles come with warranties that standard used cars don’t provide. This added coverage means you’re protected against certain repairs and issues, making ownership stress-free.
Additional Perks
Beyond a quality inspection and warranty, CPO cars often come with added benefits. Think roadside assistance, complimentary maintenance plans, and vehicle history reports—all things that go a long way in enhancing your car-buying confidence.
Why Consider a Mazda Certified Pre-Owned Car?
Mazda takes the concept of certified pre-owned to the next level with strict quality standards and competitive benefits that make their program stand out. Here’s why Mazda CPO cars are such a great option.
Only Late Model Vehicles
Mazda Certified Pre-Owned vehicles are exclusively late-model cars. This ensures buyers are getting a relatively new car with modern features and technologies.
160-Point Inspection
Every Mazda CPO vehicle must pass a rigorous 160-point inspection. This process includes evaluating key components like the engine, brakes, transmission, AC/heating systems, interiors, exteriors, and even smaller details like windshield wipers and tires. If a vehicle doesn’t meet Mazda’s stringent standards, it won’t be certified.
Warranty Information
Mazda provides one of the most reliable warranty programs for its certified pre-owned vehicles. Here’s what you get when you buy a Mazda CPO.
- New Vehicle Limited Warranty – Your CPO vehicle is still covered under the remaining portion of Mazda’s 3-year/36,000-mile New Vehicle Limited Warranty (if applicable).
- Certified Pre-Owned Limited Vehicle Warranty – Adds another 12 months or up to 12,000 miles of coverage, giving you even greater peace of mind.
- 7-Year/100,000-Mile CPO Limited Powertrain Warranty – Coverage for major powertrain components, ensuring long-term protection.
The combined warranties make Mazda CPO vehicles an exceptional value while giving you the assurance you’re buying a dependable car.
24-Hour Emergency Roadside Assistance
Being prepared for roadside emergencies is another advantage of going certified pre-owned with Mazda. All Mazda CPO vehicles come with 24/7 Emergency Roadside Assistance, and it lasts the length of the 7-Year/100,000-Mile CPO Limited Powertrain Warranty.
Perks of the roadside assistance program include:
- Jump starts
- Lockout assistance
- Towing
- Flat tire changes
- Gas delivery
It’s a reassuring benefit that ensures both you and your family are covered no matter where you are in the U.S. or Canada.
Transferrable Coverage
Mazda Certified Pre-Owned Limited Vehicle Warranties and Limited Powertrain Warranties are transferrable to future owners at no cost. This additional feature adds value to your car and makes it more attractive to buyers should you decide to sell your vehicle later on.
