Not just any used Cadillac can qualify for the certified pre-owned program. There are strict requirements that each vehicle has to meet even to be considered.
To start with, certified vehicles must be from later model years. This requirement helps to ensure that drivers get the modern amenities and technology that they want. This stipulation also helps to filter out older cars that are in poor condition.
Beyond age, each vehicle must also have low mileage. Cadillac itself states that each certified vehicle must have fewer than 50,000 miles on the odometer. This low mileage requirement passes on confidence to the next owner.
Thorough Inspection and Vehicle History Report
Before any vehicle is officially certified, it must go through an inspection process with certified Cadillac technicians. The inspection looks at everything from the engine bay and chassis to the cabin and cargo space. Minor flaws can be reconditioned, and any necessary routine maintenance will be completed. Major issues can disqualify a vehicle from certification.
There's even a road test involved with the inspection. This step of the process takes the vehicle out into the real world to ensure everything is performing properly.
Finally, each vehicle comes with a complete vehicle history report. These reports show maintenance history and a clean track record without collisions or damage. It's yet another way that the Cadillac certified pre-owned program helps shoppers feel confident about their decisions.
