**Certified Pre-Owned (CPO)** means a pre-owned Chevrolet that has passed a rigorous manufacturer inspection and meets strict quality standards. It's the "used car with manufacturer backing."

When you buy CPO, you get peace of mind: the vehicle has been thoroughly checked, any needed repairs are completed, and you're covered by a CPO warranty (details below). It's a middle ground between used and new-lower price than new, but more assurance than a typical pre-owned purchase.

CPO vehicles also often come with roadside assistance and other perks that vary by model year.
