Best Bang for Buck Certified Used Cars

When purchasing a used car, many buyers opt for certified preowned (CPO). That means these vehicles have been inspected and certified by the manufacturer or dealership, and can sometimes add up to greater peace of mind for car shoppers. But many shoppers worry that they will pay too high of a price premium for these vehicles.

However, not all CPO programs are the same -- how can buyers know which are going to give them the most bang for their buck? BankRate.com has a list of the nine car brands that offer CPO vehicles with a price premium of less than $500 over what you would normally pay for a similar non CPO vehicle. Manufacturers on the list include Jeep, Ram, Subaru, and Honda. See below for the full list.

And when shopping for a used vehicle, I recommend using TrueCar No Haggle and CarsDirect to see the lowest prices in your local area.
