Your TRI-STATE AUTOMOTIVE superpower What are certified preowned vehicles? The days when buying a used car was akin to a game of chance are largely a relic of the past. Though it's still possible that used car buyers could end up with a lemon, the preowned vehicle market has changed dramatically and for the better over the last couple of decades. One of the more notable changes surrounding used ve- hicles over the last 20 years is the rise of certified preowned cars and trucks, or CPOs. The COVID-19 pandemic affected sales of CPOs in 2020, but the vehicle transaction experts at Cox Automotive™ report that more than a quarter mil- lion CPOs were sold in May of 2019. First-time car buyers or those accustomed to pur- chasing new vehicles can learn more about CPOs be- fore buying their next cars or trucks. Such knowledge may help them make the most in- formed decision possible be- fore they sign on the dotted line and drive their next vehi- cle off the lot. WHAT SETS CPOs APART FROM OTHER USED CARS? The auto industry data ag- gregator Black Book notes that CPOs tend to have low mileage and clean accident histories. It's possible, though unlikely, that vehicles that don't meet such criteria could be designated as CPOs. Another significant dif- ference between CPOs and more traditional used cars is that the former tend to be sold with extended manufac- turers' warranties. Certified preowned vehicle buyers al- so may be offered perks simi- lar to those offered to new car buyers, such as free roadside assistance or complementary satellite radio service, for a predetermined period of time. While it may seem like a no brainer for used car buyers to purchase CPOs, the consum- er advocacy experts at Con- sumer Reports suggest that the decision is more compli- cated. Analysts at CR have suggested that the biggest ad- vantage to CPOs is their ex- tended warranties, which can be expensive. Having a vehi- cle inspected by a private me- chanic consumers trust pri- or to purchase may be a bet- ter way for budget-conscious car buyers to allocate their funds than purchasing a CPO simply because of its extend- ed warranty. If the mechanic gives the vehicle a clean bill of health, consumers can then rest easy knowing they exer- cised their due diligence and did so without having to pay for a potentially costly extend- ed warranty. Ultimately, the decision is up to buyers, who can conduct a cost analysis to determine just how much they might save (or not save) when purchasing a CPO or a noncer- tified used vehicle. Certified preowned vehi- cles are an option car buyers can consider prior to purchas- ing their next car or truck. How to honor first responders on the 20th anniversary of 9/11 This fall marks the 20th an- niversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. The attacks on Sep- tember 11, 2001 remain the deadliest terror attacks in world history, claiming more than 2,900 lives and causing countless injuries and long- term health problems for tens of thousands of civilians and first responders. The 20th anniversary of 9/11 will no doubt evoke re- sponses that span the emo- tional spectrum. Sadness may dominate such respons- es, but the anniversary of 9/11 also is a great time to reflect on the efforts of first respond- ers. First responders played a vital role on 9/11, and many lost their lives and/or suffered long-term health consequenc- es resulting from their self- less efforts to save innocent victims of the attacks. In the two decades since the 9/11 attacks, first responders have continued to make count- less sacrifices to ensure their communities are safe and peaceful places to call home. The 20th anniversary of 9/11 is a great time to recognize the efforts of first responders and honor them for all they do. • Donate to local fire de- partments. According to the U.S. Fire Administration, 54 percent of active firefighting personnel are volunteers. Ma- ny of those volunteer firefight- ers work for underfunded de- partments that are in need of financial support. Donating to such departments is a great way to show first responders how much their efforts are ap- preciated. Donations may be used to purchase new equip- ment, upgrade existing facil- ities, provide vital training, and/or improve response times, the latter of which can increase the likelihood that firefighters make it through calls safe and sound. • Back legislation to sup- port wounded first respond- ers. Many first respond- ers suffer significant mental and physical injuries while on the job. Various nonprof- it organizations help wound- ed first responders who may need to make modifications to their homes or purchase cost- ly equipment to get through their daily lives. But nonprof- it organizations cannot go it alone in support of wounded first responders. Citizens can do their part by promoting and voting for local, state and na- tional legislation that makes it easy for wounded first re- sponders to get the help they need, when they need it. In addition to urging local poli- ticians to support such legis- lation, private citizens can uti- lize social media to promote proposals and other efforts to support wounded first re- sponders. Many 9/11 first responders are still fighting for government-backed sup- port to treat injuries suffered 20 years ago, and a vocal cit- izenry can be a strong asset in their fight and the fight of countless others in need of help. • Commit to supporting first responders year-round. The 20th anniversary of 9/11 will call attention to the ef- forts of first responders on that day 20 years ago as well as the countless times since then that these brave men and women have served their com- munities. But first responders deserve vocal, year-round sup- port. Make a concerted effort to thank policemen, firefight- ers, EMTs, nurses, and doc- tors in your community when- ever you interact with them, and urge others to follow suit. First responders play a vi- tal role in communities across the globe. The 20th anniversa- ry of 9/11 can serve as a cat- alyst for communities to ex- press their support for first responders.
