CPO inventory cuts the middle ground of sorts between new and used vehicles. These are used vehicles that have undergone a thorough inspection and meet certain criteria set by the manufacturer or dealer.

Patriot CDJR of McAlester has a robust CPO program in place. Our trained experts and mechanics perform over 100 checks on different parts of a vehicle.

When you buy a CPO vehicle from us, you are not only getting a pre-owned vehicle in existing condition. Trained technicians meticulously examine and test every aspect of the vehicle to ensure it meets specific quality standards. If required, they will perform repairs and maintenance they feel necessary to bring the vehicle up to the required standards. Once a vehicle meets the standards, it gets labeled as a CPO.

And to provide complete peace of mind to our customers, our CPO vehicles also come bundled with extended warranties. Our trained technicians will always be at your beck and call if you need servicing or repairs in the future.

Compared to conventional used cars, CPO vehicles are frequently in excellent shape. This is a result of the numerous tests that a qualifying vehicle must pass as well as the completion of all necessary repairs. Any possible problems are taken care of before they even arrive at the lot and are put up for sale.

Let's take an example where you are attempting to choose between purchasing a CPO vehicle from the same manufacturer or a used vehicle. The used vehicle can have some obvious wear and tear in addition to any unreported technical problems. On the other hand, the CPO vehicle would have undergone extensive testing and maintenance, guaranteeing that its mechanical and visual qualities are great.

In addition to being in superior shape, CPO cars typically come with free towing, roadside assistance, an extended warranty, and other benefits. These are not available with their non-CPO counterparts.

With the basics now out of the way, let's understand the benefits you can enjoy from new, used, and CPO vehicles.

There is a wrong notion floating in the used vehicle market that buying a pre-owned vehicles don't have any tangible benefits. Nothing could be further from the truth.

At Patriot CDJR of McAlester, we are striving hard to provide best-in-class service to our customers. The benefits from this extend to our used vehicles too. What you see is what you will get. There will be no major rude surprises later.

You can also save money when you buy a used vehicle. Even used vehicles in excellent condition will generally cost you 40 to 50 percent less compared to buying brand new models of the same vehicle.

Compared to brand new models, used vehicles also experience less depreciation. Should you ever decide to sell it in the future, you can sell it for an amount close to what you had to shell out to buy it. 

Once you have decided which option among new, used, or CPO is best for you, it's time to narrow your selection down to find the perfect vehicle and model.

Start by taking a closer look at why you are getting new wheels in the first place. Is it for city driving or for outdoor adventures or both? Is it for driving your family around or for hauling cargo, or maybe a bit of both?

Figuring out your wants and priorities will help you land on the model that fits your way of life. You should think about fuel efficiency, seating capacity, boot space, etc. in the case of sedans and SUVs. If you are considering a truck, maximum cargo space also warrants a closer look.

After you have assessed your needs and understood them better, think about the size that would be perfect for your needs. For instance, how many members do you have in your family? If the answer is two or three, a sedan will suit you just fine. But if it’s four, you may want to consider an SUV.

In the same vein, if you are planning to haul cargo, how much space do you need? If you think you will need a lot of space, look for a truck with a large boot capacity paired with enough horsepower.

This is another factor that is highly crucial to picking the right vehicle. Remember that performance comes at the cost of fuel efficiency.

Do you see yourself driving around in a muscle car owning the road, or does getting the most mileage rank higher for you? Or maybe you want a bit of both. Whatever the case, we always recommend researching your options. This research hub already has everything you need to get started.

By now, you should have shortlisted a few models that seem to be perfect for you. All there is left to do is evaluate your budget and see what fits.
