CPO Program Review: Buick

Overview

Buick's certified pre-owned program offers 6 years or 100,000 miles of powertrain coverage from the car's original sale date. There's also a 1-year/12,000-mile bumper-to-bumper plan from the day the original warranty expires, or if the original warranty is already expired, from the day you buy the car. Buick's CPO program also boasts no deductible for repairs and full transferability to future owners.

What We Like

No deductible; full transferability; special financing rates; 3-day exchange program

What We Don't

Powertrain warranty starts from original sale date instead of CPO customer’s purchase date

Program Specifics

Buick's certified pre-owned program offers some excellent attractions that help make Buick CPO models very much worth considering if you're interested in a used car that comes with the peace of mind you’ll get from a strong, manufacturer-backed warranty.

The Buick CPO program's biggest benefit is a long powertrain warranty. It runs for 6 years or 100,000 miles from the car's original sale date, which is highly competitive compared to many other luxury-brand certified pre-owned warranties. The only drawback: You'll also have to take special note of the car's original sale date, as that's when your warranty begins.

Buick's certified pre-owned warranty also offers another warranty benefit: a 1-year/12,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty that begins on the day the original bumper-to-bumper warranty expires. If the original warranty has already expired when you buy the car, the 1-year CPO warranty begins on your purchase date.

We also like a few other benefits of Buick's CPO program, such as the fact that there's no deductible for repairs, which  isn't always the case in the luxury-car world. If there's still any coverage left when you go to sell your car, the warranty can be fully transferred to the next owner. Special financing rates are icing on the cake, as they add an additional level of affordability to all of this manufacturer-backed warranty coverage. Buick also offers offers a scheduled maintenance program, which includes two service visits over 2 years or 24,000 miles, as well a free trial period of OnStar services and SiriusXM satellite radio. Finally, if you decide you’re not happy with the certified Buick vehicle you've purchased for any reason, you have 3 days or 150 miles to exchange it for another vehicle. Find a CPO Buick for sale
