Top Certified Pre-Owned Deals for April 2018 According to Autotrader

ATLANTA, April 11, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Spring is the time of year to refresh and recast. If you are in the market to purchase a car this season, consider shopping certified pre-owned (CPO) vehicles. Dealers and automakers are boasting new and enhanced offers to start spring off strong and convert potential shoppers to buyers.

"Because in-car technology is evolving so quickly and the price of new cars continues to climb, one way that shoppers can get new-car features at a used-car price is with certified pre-owned," said Brian Moody, executive editor for Autotrader.

The editors at Autotrader have rounded up some of the top CPO deals this month to help guide car shoppers on the hunt for the right CPO vehicle to reign in the new season.

Autotrader Editors' Top Picks for Certified Pre-Owned Deals for April 2018

BMW's certified pre-owned program was recently retooled and now offers one year and unlimited miles of additional coverage, beyond the 4-year/50,000 mile factory warranty period.
