You’re still reeling from sticker shock after looking at new cars, but you’re also not ready to buy a used car and take on the potential risk of repair costs. One solution: Check out Autotrader’s roundup of the best certified pre-owned car options for 2018 (and yes, there’s a difference between CPOs and used cars).
As certified pre-owned vehicles, each of these “good as new” models features up-to-date design and a manufacturer-supported warranty of up to 100,000 miles. Also, each one has an overall NHTSA safety rating of at least four out of five stars. Purchasing one of these is pretty much like purchasing a new car—except much easier on your bank account.
