What Is the Difference a Between Used & Certified Pre-Owned Jaguar?

If you are shopping for a pre-owned Jaguar in Aurora or Bolingbrook, you tend to have two options–normal used Jaguar models, and certified pre-owned Jaguar models. But what is the difference between used and certified pre-owned? In order for a used Jaguar to become certified pre-owned, it must meet several requirements and pass a more stringent quality inspection by an authorized retailer like Jaguar Naperville.

Benefits of Buying a Used Jaguar

When it comes to shopping for a used Jaguar for sale in Naperville, you will likely have a larger variety of options compared to CPO Jaguar models. A used Jaguar can be from any model year, any number of miles, and in any condition. And according to CarBuzz, choosing to buy used is a smart move: 

• “A used Jaguar is one of the greatest values on the market…..A used Jaguar can be a performance bargain, but they are even more well known as a luxury bargain.” 

Compared to new or CPO Jaguar models, there will be less depreciation when you drive a used Jaguar off the lot, and the purchase price will tend to be lower than a certified pre-owned Jaguar. Best of all, Jaguar owners usually love their cars–a lot–which probably means it’s been well-taken care of with regular service over the years.

Benefits of Buying a Certified Pre-Owned Jaguar

While we know buying a used Jaguar is a great value, buying a certified pre-owned Jaguar for sale in Naperville is the perfect compromise between the lower cost of a used vehicle and the high quality and modernity of a new vehicle. A CPO Jaguar will offer you better peace of mind because of the strict requirements it must meet in order to be Jaguar certified:

• Must be 5 years old or less from the in-service date
• Must have less than 60,000 miles on the odometer
• Must pass a thorough 165 multi-point inspection and road test
• Comes with a vehicle history report including service history, mileage, ownership, etc.

You will also be able to reap the benefits of the Jaguar CPO program offered at Jaguar Naperville and other authorized Jaguar retailers:

• Comes with a transferable warranty and no warranty deduction
• Offers a limited warranty of up to 7 years / 100,000 miles and 24/7 roadside assistance
