ATLANTA, Dec. 13, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- With 2018 right
around the corner, now is the time for car shoppers to rake in the
last of the great incentive deals 2017 has to offer. For car
shoppers who are looking to stick to a tight budget, but are
worried about the potential problems that can come with a used
vehicle, purchasing a certified pre-owned (CPO) model can be the
perfect choice.
"CPO cars and trucks are often lightly used, with a long
manufacturer-backed warranty, providing car buyers greater peace of
mind while staying on budget," said Tara
Trompeter, managing editor for Autotrader. "And with the
year coming to a close, many automakers are tacking on extra
incentives to their usual CPO programs in an effort to end 2017
with a bang."
The editors at Autotrader have rounded up some of the top CPO
deals this month to help guide car buyers as they prepare for
2018.
Autotrader Editors' Top Picks for CPO Deals for December 2017
Acura's CPO program gives car buyers a great deal of
reassurance, offering one year or 12,000 miles of additional
comprehensive coverage and up to seven years of powertrain
protection from the vehicle's original sale date. A special this
month, qualified shoppers interested in the MDX and RDX crossovers
can also get 0.9 percent interest for up to 36 months.
For those car buyers interested in the BMW i3, December is the
time to buy. On top of BMW's usual CPO program, which touts one
year of comprehensive coverage with unlimited mileage from the
expiration of the original factory warranty, car buyers can also
cash in on a BMW i3 special. This month, BMW is offering zero
percent interest for up to 60 months on all certified pre-owned
2013, 2014 and 2015 i3 models, a great deal virtually never seen on
a used vehicle.
Chevrolet's CPO program offers two warranties. The first touts
one year or 12,000 miles of coverage from the CPO purchase date,
while the other is a powertrain warranty that boasts six years or
100,000 miles of coverage from the original sales date. On top of
these already comprehensive warranties, qualified shoppers, through
the end of the month, can also get 1.9 percent interest for up to
36 months on CPO versions of the Cruze, Equinox, Malibu, Silverado,
or Traverse.
GMC sports a CPO program identical to Chevrolet's, with two
warranties included with the purchase of a CPO GMC vehicle. Also
like Chevrolet, GMC is touting a strong incentive this month.
Through the end of December, qualified shoppers can get a CPO
Acadia SUV, Sierra pickup, or Terrain SUV, with 1.9 percent
interest for up to 36 months.
Touting one of the best CPO programs in the luxury car world is
Lincoln, offering six years or
100,000 miles of bumper-to-bumper coverage from the original sale
date. Through the end of December, Lincoln is also offering 2.9 percent interest
for up to 66 months on any CPO Lincoln model.
Mercedes-Benz's CPO program offers one year of unlimited-mileage
bumper-to-bumper coverage with additional years available for an
extra fee. To win over shoppers this month, Mercedes-Benz is also
offering an incentive with CPO versions of the Mercedes-Benz CLA,
the brand's entry-level sedan model. Through the end of December,
qualified shoppers can finance a CPO CLA with 1.99 percent
interest.
While Nissan's CPO program is devoid of an additional
bumper-to-bumper warranty, the automaker does offer a long
powertrain warranty that boasts seven years or 100,000 miles of
coverage from the original sale date. Additionally, Nissan's CPO
program is offering two extra incentives this month: qualified
shoppers can either get 1.95 percent interest for up to 36 months
or 3.99 percent interest for up to 72 months.
Volkswagen's CPO program also touts extra incentives this month.
In addition to adding two years or 24,000 miles of warranty
coverage to the original Volkswagen factory warranty on any model,
qualified shoppers can also get 1.99 percent interest for up to 60
months.
