Subaru vehicles are renowned for their all-wheel-drive prowess, rugged capability, and enduring spirit. Whether you’re a seasoned adventurer or just starting your Subaru journey, navigating the world of used cars can feel like tackling a challenging mountain trail. Particularly, the distinction between CPO (Certified Pre-Owned) and used Subarus can be confusing.

Fear not, fellow explorer! This comprehensive FAQ guide will dissect the key differences between CPO and used Subaru vehicles at Hello Subaru Valencia, the trusted Subaru dealer conveniently located near Santa Clarita Valley. With this knowledge, you can confidently choose the Subaru that best suits your budget and driving needs.

What is a CPO Subaru?

A CPO Subaru is a pre-owned Subaru that has undergone a rigorous inspection and reconditioning process by Subaru themselves. To qualify for CPO status, the vehicle must meet specific criteria, including:

Age and Mileage: Generally, be less than five years old and have fewer than 80,000 miles.

Clean History: No major accidents or flood damage reported on the vehicle’s history report.

Mechanical Inspection: The vehicle must pass a detailed 152-point inspection by certified Subaru technicians, ensuring it meets its performance and safety standards.

Reconditioning: Any necessary repairs or replacements are completed using genuine Subaru parts.

What is a Used Subaru?

A used Subaru simply refers to any pre-owned Subaru vehicle not classified as CPO. These vehicles come from various sources, including trade-ins and previous owners. While they may be mechanically sound, they haven’t undergone the same stringent inspection and reconditioning process as CPO Subarus.

What are the Benefits of a CPO Subaru?

Peace of Mind: CPO vehicles come with an extended warranty, typically 7 years/100,000 miles (whichever comes first) from the original in-service date, covering the powertrain and additional components. This provides peace of mind knowing you’re protected against unexpected repairs.

Quality Assurance: The meticulous inspection and reconditioning process ensures the vehicle is in top mechanical condition, minimizing the risk of unforeseen issues.

Roadside Assistance: CPO vehicles often come with complimentary roadside assistance, offering additional peace of mind in case of emergencies.

Vehicle History Report: Most CPO programs provide a detailed vehicle history report, giving you valuable insights into the car’s past.

What are the Benefits of a Used Subaru?

Lower Price Point: Used Subarus generally have a lower price point than their CPO counterparts. This can be a significant advantage if you’re operating on a tighter budget.

Wider Selection: The selection of used Subarus is typically more extensive than CPO inventory, offering you a broader range of models, years, and mileage options to choose from.

Which One is Right for Me: CPO or Used Subaru?

The ideal choice between a CPO and a used Subaru depends on your budget and priorities.

Choose a CPO Subaru if:

• Peace of mind and warranty coverage are a priority.
• You seek a pre-owned vehicle that has undergone a rigorous inspection and reconditioning process.
• You’re willing to pay a slight premium for the additional benefits.

Choose a Used Subaru if:

• You have a fixed budget and prioritize a lower upfront cost.
• You’re comfortable with a broader range of vehicle options and mileage variations.
• You’re willing to invest in a pre-purchase inspection for added peace of mind (recommended for any used car).
