Drivers near Fort Worth, Dallas, and Arlington, TX, find value in pre-owned and certified pre-owned vehicles. Why? The mileage on the vehicle's odometer factors into its worth. This may give drivers lower monthly payments and provide them with the financial flexibility to enjoy what Texas has to offer.
So, what's the difference between pre-owned vs. certified pre-owned vehicles? Keep reading. The team at Audi Fort Worth prepared a guide to help you find out.
What's a Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle?
An Audi Certified Pre-Owned vehicle is a pre-owned vehicle that meets strict criteria after a thorough inspection. Each vehicle checks these boxes:
- 5 model years or newer
- Fewer than 60,000 miles on its odometer
- Must pass vehicle history report
- Must pass a 300+ point dealer inspection
After an inspection by a factory-certified Audi technician, it'll receive an Audi Certified Pre-Owned Limited Warranty. This will help you drive with peace of mind. You'll also be eligible for one year of 24-hour Roadside Assistance.
Certified Pre-Owned Inspection
Over 300 aspects of every Audi Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) vehicle are inspected by a factory-certified technician. The rigorous testing includes:
- 15 pre-checks
- 115 exterior checkpoints
- 85 interior checkpoints
- 39 engine compartment checkpoints
- 36 undercarriage checkpoints
Our examination does not end there. You'll know your Audi CPO vehicle is ready for the road because we've driven it, too. Each CPO vehicle also experiences 18 road test checkpoints during our in-house exam.
What's a Pre-Owned Vehicle?
Think of a pre-owned vehicle like a vintage guitar. Despite its use, you'll find that there's a lot of magic left to create memories on your grand tour. Just because it isn't a CPO vehicle, that doesn't mean that you won't be able to drive it with confidence.
That's especially true of a pre-owned vehicle at our dealership. While it may be older than five model years or have more than 60,000 miles on its odometer, you'll still be able to find value in a luxury vehicle. Our team takes a look at each vehicle parked on our lot. Browse our inventory online to see how a pre-owned luxury car can help you enjoy ever mile of the road ahead.
