A CPOV is a vehicle that has been put through a rigorous inspection by a dealership of the same brand of the vehicle. For example, because we are associated with Dover Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram Fiat, we are able to sell certified pre-owned Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram and Fiat vehicles. Dover Dodge has their factory certified mechanics inspect the vehicle. During the inspection, the technician ensures that the vehicle adheres to the standards required by the manufacturer to qualify as a certified vehicle. During the certification process, any parts on the vehicle that do not pass quality standards are replaced with factory original parts.

When a vehicle, a lease return or trade-in (dealerships may opt to purchase a customer-leased vehicle directly from the bank), is initially brought to the dealership, the dealership's vehicle appraiser will inspect the vehicle. The appraiser will evaluate the vehicle to see if it is a CPOV candidate based on specific criteria. Each manufacturer's criteria vary, but the majority of vehicle manufacturers require similar qualifications.


Chrysler's qualifications for any Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep, or Ram vehicle to qualify for certification is:


  • Vehicle must be no more than five (5) years old
  • Vehicle must pass a clean vehicle history check (Must not have any accidents)
  • Vehicle must pass a 125-point inspection process that involves both mechanical and appearance criteria.
Chrysler CPOVs offer the buyer the following:

  • For even more peace of mind, add the factory-backed 7-Year/100,000-Mile Powertrain Limited Warranty
  • The 3-Month/3,000-Mile Maximum Care Coverage
  • 24-Hour Towing and Roadside Assistance
  • Car Rental Allowance
  • CARFAX® Vehicle History Report™ and an introductory 3-month subscription to SiriusXM® Satellite Radio
  • Plus, Chrysler offers something you won't find from any other manufacturer: Certified Warranty Upgrades


As you can see, purchasing a certified vehicle certainly has its benefits. Please keep in mind that to be a truly certified vehicle, the vehicle must be "certified" by the original manufacturer of the vehicle. For this reason, if you are purchasing a Dodge, the vehicle will be available for sale by a Dodge dealership.


With the rising costs of vehicles across the board from all manufacturers, individuals in the market to purchase their next vehicle no longer need to be worried about the vehicle's condition if they are looking at a manufacturer-based certified pre-owned vehicle. With a certified pre-owned vehicle, individuals can drive off the dealership lot knowing they are driving a safe, reliable vehicle.
