CPO (Certified Pre-Owned) sales will continue to grow as increasing consumer demand is met with new supply from off-lease volumes.  Shoppers see the value of CPO because it gives those who can’t afford a new vehicle the opportunity to have similar technology along with the peace-of-mind that comes with CPO warranty coverage.
