Jeep | Certified Pre-Owned Overview

Considering a certified pre-owned Jeep? Shop great deals on CarGurus.

Jeep’s parent company, Stellantis (formerly Fiat Chrysler Automobiles), authorizes its dealers to certify and sell vehicles under a certified preowned (CPO) vehicle program.

Jeep CPO vehicles undergo a 125-point inspection before being sold. They also must meet an extensive list of other criteria. To qualify as a CPO vehicle, a Jeep must:

• Have fewer than 75,000 miles • Have no frame or collision damage • Be from within the last 5 model years • Have a clean title • Be free of modifications that change emissions or safety equipment • Have all owner’s manuals, warranty booklets, and keys

In addition to passing an inspection and meeting the above criteria, certified pre-owned Jeeps must have all existing open recalls addressed prior to being sold.

Warranties

Jeep's warranties carry a $100 deductible for services required, so it’s worth noting that an additional cost will be incurred for maintenance visits.

Limited Powertrain Warranty
Certified pre-owned Jeeps come with a 7-year/100,000-mile warranty. Most major powertrain components are covered under the warranty, so long as no modifications or misuse have occurred. The coverage can be transferred to future owners as well.

Bumper-to-Bumper Warranty
Jeep CPO vehicles come with 3 months or 3,000 miles of comprehensive coverage. If there is a remaining comprehensive warranty in place from the factory, the Maximum Care Warranty coverage will begin once the factory coverage expires. Over 5,000 components are covered and the program requires a $100 deductible per visit.

Owners can extend all or part of the benefits from the powertrain or comprehensive warranties. Varying levels of coverage extension are available, from basic powertrain components up to the bumper-to-bumper Maximum Care Warranty. Upgrade programs bring other perks, such as $35 a day for rental cars, roadside assistance, and up to $1,000 of trip interruption coverage. The $100 deductible applies here as well and includes roadside assistance.

Perks

Roadside Assistance
Towing and roadside assistance are available for the duration of the powertrain warranty. Services include up to 2 gallons of gas delivery, battery-jump assistance, lockout services, towing, and flat-tire changeover.

Car Rental Allowance
Jeep owners whose vehicle requires overnight repairs are eligible for up to $35 per day to cover a rental vehicle. The benefit is limited to $175, which covers up to 5 days of rentals. Taxis or other transportation costs may be eligible for coverage of up to $35.

Satellite Radio
Certified pre-owned Jeep vehicles come with a complementary 3-month trial of the SiriusXM radio All Access package, which allows listening on mobile devices, computers, or tablets.
