Learn more about the Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram Certified Pre-Owned Program

At Poulin Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram we sell new, used, and Certified Pre-Owned vehicles. The "new vehicle" designation is clear, but what's the difference between a used vehicle and one that is Certified Pre-Owned (CPO)? Today, well go over what it means for a vehicle to be Certified, as well as the perks you get if you drive off our Rochester lot with one!

Vehicles that are up for certification must go through a grueling 125-point inspection. The first part is the qualification standards. If these five areas aren't met then the testing stops.

Qualification Standards

Have less than 75,000 miles
Cannot be older than 5 model years
No damage to the frame
Clean title a must
Any aftermarket accessories on the vehicle cannot affect the safety, vehicle emissions, or operation

If the car checks all the boxes for qualification standards then the test goes deeper into the following areas:

Ownership Materials
Under hood Checks
Operational checks
Road test
Steering performance
Equipment operation
Powertrain performance

As you can see, no stone is left unturned. If a vehicle makes it through the gauntlet then you, the potential owner, get more than just a vehicle with a CPO title, but also additional benefits. We're talking about extended warranties and roadside assistance if you need help in Portsmouth, Dover or anywhere in the US, and more!

Extended Warranties

7-year/100,000-mile CPO powertrain limited warranty
3-month/3,000-mile maximum care coverage
Available Lifetime Certified Warranty Upgrades

Roadside Assistance

24-hour service for flat tire, gas delivery, assistance jump-starting the battery, lockout, and towing
Car rental allowance and taxi reimbursement if you need to have your vehicle serviced (up to $35 per day and a $175 maximum per occurrence)

Additional Goodies

3-month trial for SiriusXM radio and its 100+ commercial-free channels
CARFAX vehicle history report

With a standard used vehicle, you'll get a CARFAX report, but you won't get all the extended warranties or help if you have car issues on your way home to Durham. With a Certified Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, or Ram vehicle, you get the best of both worlds- benefits like those who buy new, but an attractive price tag like that of a used vehicle.
