Torn between new, used, and certified pre-owned? It comes up a lot here at your Mitsubishi dealership. Let’s make it easier by breaking down the benefits of certified pre-owned (CPO) vehicles.

1. You’re Getting the Best of What’s out There

Mitsubishi does not just wave anything through. To qualify for the CPO program, a vehicle must meet two criteria: be under five years old and have fewer than 60,000 miles. Usually, that means it’s had one owner and hasn’t been driven hard.

2. 123-Point Inspection

If a vehicle makes it past the age and mileage cutoff, it heads into a rigorous 123-point inspection done by Mitsubishi-certified technicians. They run through everything, from mechanicals to tech features. For example, they monitor how the engine behaves when it’s cold, warming up, and fully warmed.

As part of the inspection, the technicians pull a complete Vehicle History Report to check for things like service records, title status, and any known accident history. In short, you’ll get a full picture of where the car has been and how it’s doing now.

3. Warranty

Mitsubishi’s CPO program includes three warranties, highlighted by a 10-year/100,000-mile warranty: a full three years longer than most competitors. You’ll also get a 5-year/60,000-mile new vehicle warranty, far above the typical 3-year/36,000-mile coverage.

Just a couple of things to keep in mind about these warranties. First, they kick in from the car’s original registration date. Second, there’s no deductible when something is covered, which isn’t always the case with other brands. Finally, you can get service at any Mitsubishi dealer nationwide.

4. Availability of Financing

CPOs are priced right to begin with, and Mitsubishi sweetens the deal with financing options that make driving one home even simpler.

5. 24-Hour Roadside Assistance

Every certified pre-owned Mitsubishi comes with complimentary roadside assistance, which means you’re never really alone out there. Whether you catch a flat, run out of gas, lock yourself out, or need a jump start, help is just a phone call away.

Plus, it’s not just you who benefits. Licensed family members are covered under the same roadside plan. And if the problem requires more than just a jump start or tire swap, your vehicle gets a free ride to the nearest dealership.
