2022: “The Best Year to Buy a CPO”
“This is the best year to buy a CPO unit, because it’s going to be more expensive and more difficult going forward, in terms of payment, and in terms of getting the vehicle,”
Jonathan Smoke, chief economist – Cox Automotive
CPO Supply will reach all-time low
The global pandemic, chip shortages and supply chain delays caused new car production to grind to a halt during 2020 and 2021.
That has led to the dramatic reduction in the number of available off-lease vehicles and rental cars which typically make up the bulk of certified pre-owned (CPO) supply.
This means that available CPO supply will be decreasing from 2022-2024.
CPO demand is steadily growing
Consumer demand for CPO units has grown steadily (even through the pandemic) for 10 years straight. With a lack of new car inventory coupled with record-breaking high prices – CPO is the “next best thing” for would be new car shoppers.
And for used car shoppers, CPO offers them the peace of mind that they are purchasing a reliable vehicle that is thoroughly inspected and protected against costly repairs.
The Solution: Certify the inventory that’s still available
Since used vehicle supply has decreased, available inventory is now older (4-6 years old) and has higher mileage (over 100,000 miles) than in the past.
The Trusted Sale CPO Program allows you to certify vehicles of ANY AGE up to 175,000 miles, which means your can certify the vehicles you currently have on the ground and still acquire from trade-ins, street purchases and auctions.
