Overview
Buick is known for its affordable luxury; now, buyers can purchase Buick Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) vehicles and experience that same elegance at lower prices. Authorized Buick dealers offer one of two CPO programs: GM Certified and CarBravo. No General Motors-approved dealership will sell cars listed under both programs. GM backs both but requires different qualifications for certification. Read more below to learn the similarities and differences between these paths to your Buick CPO vehicle.
