All Lincoln Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) vehicles are used, but not all used Lincolns are Certified Pre-Owned. What does this mean? It means that CPO vehicles are held to exceptionally high standards of quality that regular used vehicles are not, providing the best-of-both-worlds of affordability and excellence. Let’s take a closer look at Lincoln CPO benefits.
Examining Lincoln Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles to Understand Lincoln CPO Benefits
How Does a Lincoln Become Certified Pre-Owned?
Not just any vehicle is qualified to be Certified Pre-Owned. For a Lincoln to become Certified, it has to pass a very specific and strict process. Firstly, the vehicle must be under six years old and have less than 80,000 miles on the odometer. It must also possess a clean CARFAX Vehicle History Report.
Once those criteria are met, we put the vehicle through a rigorous 200-point inspection and a road test. If any repairs, replacements, or cosmetic fixes are required, they are performed by Lincoln-trained technicians using genuine Lincoln parts. Once reconditioning is complete, the vehicle officially becomes Certified Pre-Owned.
What Warranties Come With a Certified Pre-Owned Lincoln?
Every Certified Lincoln comes with a Comprehensive Limited Warranty that provides coverage for the first 100,000 miles or six years from the original New Vehicle Limited Warranty start date. For example, if the vehicle was originally purchased in 2023, and you purchased it as a CPO vehicle in 2025, you would be covered for four years. The limited warranty covers over 1,000 components, including the engine, transmission, suspension, and electrical systems.
Optional Extended Service Plan Packages are available to keep you protected beyond the limited warranty. These plans are especially useful for CPO vehicles that are nearing the end of their warranties. PremiumCare plans have terms for up to 9 years or 125,000 miles. Scheduled Service Maintenance Plans are also available to keep your maintenance visits affordable and regular.
What Are Other Benefits of Owning a CPO Vehicle?
Roadside Assistance is available 24/7 for the length of your limited warranty. Through the Lincoln Way app, you can easily request services such as flat tire repair, fuel delivery, towing, battery jump-starts, and lockout assistance. Another perk of purchasing a Certified Lincoln is access to Pickup & Delivery. When your vehicle needs maintenance, a Lincoln Service Valet will pick it up and give you a Lincoln Loaner Vehicle, so there are no interruptions in your day.
Certified Pre-Owned Lincoln vehicles go above and beyond the confines of a used vehicle. When you choose CPO, you can rest assured that you are committing to high quality, comprehensive protection, and on-demand assistance.
