CPO basics

A badge is the beginning of your research.

Certification rules vary. We explain the documents, protections, questions, and tradeoffs that help you judge the actual vehicle—not just the label.

The five-document rule

Do not sign until these agree.

Match the VIN, mileage, program, coverage, price, and promised work across every page.

  1. Completed certification inspection
  2. Vehicle-history and service records
  3. Warranty terms and expiration
  4. Itemized out-the-door worksheet
  5. Signed due bill for unfinished work
