2022 Honda Civic Driving Through Downtown at Night
 

We’ve got a comprehensive selection of pre-owned vehicles for you to choose from so that you can easily find the right one for your Sparta Twp lifestyle. But, when you’re exploring our inventory, you’ll likely come across both used and certified pre-owned vehicles.

 

 

So, what’s the difference between used and CPO? Both options have been previously owned by someone else but certified pre-owned vehicles come with an additional layer of protection so you can enjoy your vehicle on the Hackettstown roads with added peace of mind. Compare CPO vs. used vehicles today with Sussex Honda!

CPO vs. Used

At first glance, used and certified pre-owned vehicles may seem similar but there are certainly some distinctions you’ll want to be aware of. Additionally, it’s important to remember that we do our best to ensure you’re getting a high-quality vehicle for your Denville adventures, regardless of if it’s a certified pre-owned vehicle or not. With that out of the way, compare CPO vs. used vehicles below:

Standard Used Vehicles

  • No mileage restrictions
  • Come in multiple makes & models
  • Hand-picked by our team

Standard used vehicles can be sold by anyone, including used car dealerships. However, that’s not to say that a used vehicle isn’t a smart option. You’ll just want to make sure that the vehicle has been inspected by a professional team so you know exactly what you’re getting into because not all used vehicles have warranty coverage.

Honda Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles

Certified pre-owned vehicles have also been hand-picked by our team. However, they’ve also been rigorously inspected by factory-trained Honda technicians for additional peace of mind in your investment. Honda CPO models are known as HondaTrue vehicles and they come in three different configurations for you to choose from depending on your Newton lifestyle. Here’s what differentiates HondaTrue vehicles:
