Get Peace of Mind With Nissan CPO Vehicles

Buying a vehicle is a big investment, and deciding how to get the best vehicle for your money can take up a lot of time. If you’re shopping on a tight budget or depend heavily on your vehicle, then things can get even more stressful. Fortunately, there are ways to save money while preserving your peace of mind, and at Newton Nissan of Gallatin, we are always happy to help.

As one of the world’s more reliable, best-selling automakers, Nissan has a reputation for quality, affordable cars that’s hard to beat. If you’re searching for a long-lasting, durable vehicle, check out a certified Nissan for sale and see the difference. When you buy a Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) vehicle from Nissan, you’re not just getting a used car, but also the peace of mind that comes with a manufacturer-based warranty that acts like a safety net if anything goes wrong. Suddenly, buying a lightly used vehicle got a lot less stressful.

It doesn’t matter if you’ve purchased countless vehicles before or if you’re new to the buying game; you want to make sure you’re getting a reliable vehicle that will give you your money’s worth. Buying new might be out of your budget, while buying used can feel risky. Ever thought about a CPO model and wondered what makes it different? To help make your car buying journey go a little smoother, we’ve put together a handy starter guide to the Nissan CPO program to help you on your way.

What Is a Nissan CPO Vehicle?

The Nissan Certified Pre-Owned program helps drivers buy with confidence. It’s always a risk when you buy a used vehicle, so knowing you have a manufacturer warranty on your side helps make the buying process a little less stressful.

What exactly is a CPO model? This isn’t just another used car; we can tell you that. When you choose a Certified Pre-Owned Nissan, you’re getting the same premium driving experience as buying a new vehicle, without the worry that can come from a used model.

All Nissan CPO models are lightly used vehicles less than six years old with fewer than 80,000 miles on them. Many of these cars are lease returns that have been kept well-maintained. A CPO vehicle is a great way to get a car that’s in like-new condition without the heavy price tag of buying brand-new.

How Does a Used Model Become CPO?

This is where buyers can sometimes get confused. What’s the difference between a Nissan CPO model and any other lightly-used vehicle? When you look at a used vehicle versus a Certified Pre-Owned model, from the outside, they might look very similar, and that can leave you wondering if a CPO car is worth the extra expense.

When you examine the finer points of what a car has to go through to qualify as a CPO model, you can see where your money is going. For a vehicle to qualify for the Nissan Certified Pre-Owned program, it first has to undergo a thorough 167-point inspection from top to bottom, inside and out. If parts are worn out or damaged, they are replaced with brand-new Nissan parts so that when you buy CPO, you know you’re getting a roadworthy vehicle.

A Nissan CPO model must also have a clean title, meaning the vehicle hasn’t been in any accidents or had any major repairs done, and there is no financial lien on the vehicle that would prevent it from being sold. To ensure this, Nissan offers a free CARFAX history report so you can see for yourself where your car has been or hasn’t been, giving you peace of mind.

Nissan’s Certified Pre-Owned Warranties

Now let’s take a look at Nissan’s CPO warranty offers. First up is a seven-year/100,000-mile Limited Warranty. This means the warranty is good for up to seven years or 100,000 miles from when the vehicle was first sold, whichever comes first. This warranty covers over 600 components, including:

• Engine
• Transmission and transfer case
• Drivetrain
• Replacement parts

This warranty is fully transferable, so if you decide to sell your vehicle before the warranty is up, it will be transferred to the new owner, even in the case of a private sale. This helps improve the resale value of CPO models. There are also additional benefits in the Limited Warranty that include:

• 24/7 roadside assistance
• Towing reimbursement
• Rental car reimbursement
• Trip interruption coverage
• Three-month complimentary trial of SiriusXM satellite radio
• One-year complimentary maintenance plan

As for the perks, you can’t go wrong with one year of complimentary maintenance. This includes everything from annual oil changes to tire rotation and filter replacement.

What Is Certified Select?

Nissan’s Certified Select program is the newest way to buy a CPO Nissan. This program covers both Nissan and non-Nissan models, whereas the traditional Certified Pre-Owned program covers only Nissan vehicles. Certified Select models can be up to 10 years old and can have up to 100,000 miles on them.

For vehicles to qualify for the Certified Select program, they have to go through a rigorous 84-point inspection process. Old parts are replaced for a ready-to-go, long-lasting vehicle. Under the Nissan Certified Select Program, drivers get a six-month/6,000-mile Limited Warranty. This lasts for up to 6 months or 6,000 miles, whichever comes first, from when you purchase the vehicle. The Limited covers repairs on the following things:

• Engine
• Transmission and transfer case
• Drivetrain
• Replacement parts

It’s important to note if you purchase a hybrid or electric model, the high-voltage battery cells, modules, and sensors are not included. However, when it comes to hybrid and EV repairs, the following are covered under the Limited Warranty:

• Traction motor
• Power converter
• Inverter unit
• Reduction gear and transaxle
• EV cables
• DC/DC converter
• Onboard charger
• Onboard charger connector
• Trickle charge cable

The Limited Warranty also includes the perks of 24/7 roadside assistance, towing assistance, car rental assistance, and trip interruption coverage.
