What is Certified Pre-Owned (CPO)?
The CPO Advantage
Buying a Certified Pre-owned (CPO) Chevy or GMC from Phil Wright Autoplex is the ideal way to get an almost-new vehicle without the new vehicle price. In order for one of our vehicles to be a CPO vehicle, it must meet GM's strict mileage and age requirements.
Each vehicle then undergoes a rigorous 172-point inspection by our certified technicians. Every part of the vehicle is inspected and any necessary repairs are made. When you buy a CPO vehicle from our dealership, you can rest assured that you're getting a late-model vehicle with low miles that's built for reliability on Arkansas roads.
CPO Benefits Include:
- Comprehensive Limited Warranty
- Powertrain Warranty Coverage
- CARFAX® Vehicle History Report
- 24/7 Roadside Assistance
- Service and Maintenance Coupons
The Smart Value of Traditional Used Vehicles
Better Features for Your Budget
One significant benefit of buying used becomes apparent when you compare vehicles at the same price point. The used vehicle often includes better features - from a premium stereo and comfortable interior to enhanced performance - that might be out of reach in a new model.
Slower Depreciation
A used vehicle depreciates at a steadier rate, meaning you retain a greater percentage of your investment. New vehicles lose value rapidly in the first few years, which can lead to being "upside-down" on your loan—a risk significantly minimized when you buy used.
Proven Reliability
Our pre-owned inventory features vehicles with established service histories and proven track records. We thoroughly inspect every used car, truck, and SUV to ensure it meets our high standards for safety and performance before it's offered for sale.

What's the main difference between Certified Pre-Owned and regular used?
Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) vehicles are late-model, low-mileage used cars that have passed a rigorous multi-point inspection by manufacturer-certified technicians and come with an extended warranty. Regular used vehicles offer great value but typically don't include the same comprehensive inspection process or warranty coverage, though Phil Wright Autoplex thoroughly inspects all vehicles in our inventory for your peace of mind.
Is financing different for CPO vs. used vehicles?
Often, yes. CPO vehicles frequently qualify for special financing rates that are closer to new car rates, thanks to their certified condition and warranty backing. Traditional used vehicles might have slightly different rate structures. Our finance team at Phil Wright Autoplex can help you explore all available options for both CPO and used vehicles to find the best terms for your situation.
How do I know if a Certified Pre-Owned vehicle is right for me?
A CPO vehicle is ideal if you want near-new condition with extended warranty protection but at a lower price than new. It's perfect for buyers who plan to keep their vehicle for several years and value maximum peace of mind. If your budget is more constrained or you're comfortable with potentially higher mileage in exchange for lower upfront cost, a traditional used vehicle might be the better choice.
Do you offer warranties on traditional used vehicles?
Yes, at Phil Wright Autoplex, we stand behind all our vehicles. While traditional used vehicles don't come with the manufacturer-backed CPO warranty, we often offer limited warranty options and always provide a thorough inspection report. We're committed to transparency and will fully disclose the condition and history of any vehicle you're considering.
Can I trade in my current vehicle whether I buy CPO or used?
Absolutely! We welcome trade-ins regardless of whether you're purchasing a Certified Pre-Owned or traditional used vehicle. Use our online tool to get an instant cash offer estimate, then bring it by our Russellville dealership for a final appraisal. Trading in can significantly reduce the amount you need to finance on your next vehicle.
