You have a tough choice on your hands if you’re planning to buy a BMW—should you buy new or pre-owned?
Either option has its pros and cons, but you also have a third option to consider: certified pre-owned BMW models. Let’s discuss what you’ll get with a new or certified pre-owned (CPO) vehicle so you can make an informed decision.
Why Buy New?
For a pristine, hardly-been-driven vehicle, you can’t go wrong with a new BMW. You can always rely on these models to be in fantastic condition, and they're sure to give you years of excellent performance.
The only downside to buying a new model is the high price, which some drivers can't afford up-front. Plus, new models depreciate the moment they're driven off the lot, reducing their value down the line.
Why Buy CPO?
If you’re considering a like-new vehicle that will cut your costs, we recommend checking out a CPO car. These models have less than 60,000 miles on their odometers, and they come with one-year/unlimited-mileage warranties that will go into effect after the original four-year/50,000-mile warranty ends.
This warranty covers numerous components, including:
- Brakes
- Engine
- Transmission
- Suspension
- Air condition and heating
- Fuel system
- Electrical system
- Steering
- Fuel system
24/7 Emergency Roadside Assistance
Another nice feature of CPO models is that if anything does go wrong, you’ll be protected. For up to six years, you will get emergency roadside assistance.
If you get a flat tire, lock your keys in the car, or need a jumpstart, roadside assistance will be able to help. You can also take advantage of trip interruption assistance in case any covered repairs leave you without a vehicle.
In addition to getting help with transportation and perhaps a hotel accommodation, your out-of-pocket costs could be reimbursed up to $1,000 per incident.
