ATLANTA — Autotrader editors named the 10 Best CPO Cars for 2019 and the 10 Best CPO Luxury Cars for 2019. The honors are based on price, factory warranty coverage, and standard and available features. CPO sales hit a record 2.7 million units in 2018, proving shoppers want the benefits of a new-car purchase without the price, according to Executive Editor Brian Moody.
“As more features are added to today’s vehicles, new-car prices continue to rise, with even ‘affordable’ models costing as much as $35,000 or $40,000,” Moody said. “Our list of ‘good as new’ vehicles can bring the car a consumer wants into the price range they want to pay. These CPO vehicles are thoroughly inspected, covered by warranties and offer the latest designs, making it difficult to even tell the difference between their new car counterparts.”
