When it comes time to think about your next vehicle, there are several factors you’ll need to consider. You might not want to purchase a new Cadillac this year, or have a specific previous model in mind that you are looking for. A certified pre-owned Cadillac will bring you the best of both worlds. These options are high-quality vehicles that have all of the latest features you would want in your next ride. So, if you are in the market, we suggest taking a look at the certified pre-owned options.
There are many factors that go into determining whether or not a Cadillac can be sold as a certified vehicle. The vehicle needs to be less than four years old and have fewer than 50,000 miles on the odometer to be considered, or within the new-vehicle basic warranty. Once this information is verified, our dealership will run a CARFAX Vehicle History Report in order to get a full picture of its lifetime to date. The report must come back clean without any brands on the title in order to proceed with certification.
After checking the vehicle’s history, a thorough, 172-point inspection will be performed to examine its components, inside and out. Any parts that are not meeting manufacturer standards will be reconditioned with replacement OEM components matched to the model exactly, ensuring seamless performance. If the vehicle is not able to be restored to like-new condition, it will not be able to be certified.
Once all necessary maintenance is performed and the inspection is complete, a member of our staff will take it for a test drive to see how it operates, monitoring everything from the ease of turning the wheel to braking to the level of road noise for passengers and the driver. After all of the tests and inspections have been completed, the vehicle will be certified and eligible for the Cadillac Certified Pre-Owned Warranty. With all of this, you know you are getting quality with a certified pre-owned Cadillac.
There are several benefits to picking out a certified pre-owned Cadillac as your next vehicle. Since the warranty for a brand-new vehicle covers the first four years or 50,000 miles a Cadillac is on the road, your CPO vehicle will enjoy its benefits until they expire. Once the original warranty has run its course, the one-year, unlimited mileage Certified Pre-Owned Limited Warranty will kick in, giving your new-to-you vehicle up to five years of protective coverage. During your warranty, you’ll also be eligible for 24-hour roadside assistance and courtesy transportation during covered repair services. No matter what you need, you will get it when you purchase a CPO Cadillac.

Why choose a used car? In our opinion, it’s for a value-packed price and a broad selection. So, why choose a car from our new Cadillac inventory? The main reason we see is that the parts inside meet stringent factory standards, and a comprehensive warranty sets the resulting confidence in stone.
A Cadillac certified pre-owned vehicle blends two different flavors into one harmonious package. The used-car value and selection start the show, and confidence like you get with new cars marks the main act. But that’s far from all, as the process that makes this combo possible goes even deeper when looking at a certified pre-owned Cadillac for sale.
Starting things off, we need to know the life that used Cadillac CT5, or other model, has lived. They have to be recent model-year, low-mileage examples. But even then, a CARFAX® Vehicle History Report is run on every vehicle put up for certification-consideration. If it has anything but a clean, non-branded title, it’ll be instantly disqualified. That CARFAX® Vehicle History Report will be provided to you as well.
The next part, though, is where things get really thorough.
An inspection by those who know the vehicle inside and out reveals the rest. A certified used Cadillac is faced with intense scrutiny by our expert technicians. It’s a 172-point inspection to ensure everything from the engine to the upholstery meets manufacturer standards and is in like-new condition. Anything not up-to-spec is reconditioned with genuine auto parts. If that issue can’t be restored to a like-new state, the vehicle can be disqualified from certification.
The inspection also involves checking if regular maintenance has been performed on the vehicle. If it hasn’t, it will be performed with the proper care.
A road test in Atlanta, GA, finishes off the process, as an in-motion vehicle is a much different story from a stationary one. Likewise, everything involved with driving is tested, from how easy it is to turn the wheel to road noise levels on the inside.
A warranty acts as a guarantee for the confidence that the eligibility criteria and inspection provide. All certified Cadillac used cars come with one, and it’s a one-year/unlimited-mile Certified Pre-Owned Limited Warranty.1
Yet, that’s not all. The four-year/50,000-mile Bumper-to-Bumper Limited Warranty2 that came with the vehicle when it was sold new will provide coverage up until its expiration. Once it does, that one-year/unlimited-mile Certified Pre-Owned Limited Warranty takes effect, giving you up to five years of coverage.3
Aside from that comprehensive warranty, your pre-certified Cadillac comes with several great benefits that’ll have you driving in confidence. The first is 24-hour roadside assistance for the duration of your warranty coverage, lending a hand if you get a flat tire, run out of fuel, need emergency towing, and more. You’ll also get courtesy transportation during warranty-covered repairs, Cadillac Certified service across the nation, a three-month trial SiriusXM® Radio subscription, up to 6,000 My Cadillac Reward points, and even more.
