If you shop for a used Rolls-Royce, looking at cars in the Roll-Royce certified pre-owned (CPO) program is worth the additional research. The used cars Rolls-Royce chooses as CPO are the best of the best. Rolls-Royce calls its CPO program “Provenance Pre-Owned.” These cars passed an intensive inspection by a Rolls-Royce-trained technician. They also have a clean vehicle history report. Once reconditioned and certified, Rolls-Royce protects these CPO vehicles with an additional limited bumper-to-bumper warranty. Although Rolls-Royce leaves it up to the participating dealers to provide nearly all added-value benefits found in other luxury-car CPO programs, Provenance Pre-Owned does include 24-hour roadside assistance and some scheduled maintenance.
No mileage cap; no deductible for covered repairs; opportunity for some customization; special factory-backed financing
Value-added perks determined by the dealer; no separate powertrain warranty of longer duration
Rolls-Royce has no mileage or age limit to consider a car for CPO. Before a car qualifies as Provenance Pre-Owned, it must pass what the carmaker calls a 360-degree comprehensive inspection. During that process, a certified Rolls-Royce technician addresses any issues, fixing or replacing all affected parts or systems. It also must have a clean vehicle history report.
CPO buyers may choose between two warranty programs. One is for 12 months and the other 24 months. There is no mileage cap on either CPO warranty. The length of the warranty determines the bottom-line cost of the CPO Rolls-Royce. If the car still qualifies for part of the original 4-year and unlimited-mileage new-car warranty, the CPO warranty kicks into gear when the original warranty expires. Otherwise, the CPO warranty begins on the CPO vehicle’s sale date.
Very few automakers offer new or CPO warranties with unlimited mileage. This is particularly valuable to owners who put a lot of miles on their cars. All warrantied repairs are performed free of charge with no deductible.
Rolls-Royce leaves it up to the participating dealer to dole out any added-value perks like loaner cars. However, Provenance Pre-Owned does include 24-hour roadside assistance. Rolls-Royce also allows CPO coverage to be transferred to another owner with no fee.
Rolls-Royce certified pre-owned is a solid CPO program for the higher-end luxury buyer looking for a little reassurance. Find a certified pre-owned Rolls-Royce for sale.
