Top Certified Pre-Owned Deals for February, According to Autotrader

ATLANTA, Feb. 20, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Few things are as sweet as sharing Valentine's Day with loved ones, but the red-hot incentives being offered this month come pretty close. For car shoppers seeking the dependability of a new car, but looking to stick to a lower budget, certified pre-owned (CPO) vehicles can be the perfect match.

"Despite generally being lightly-used and only a few years old, CPO vehicles often come in at a great discount from the brand-new model price," said Tara Trompeter, managing editor for Autotrader. "On top of this, many automakers also offer special deals and incentives on CPO vehicles, which is a big win for budget-minded shoppers."

To help guide car shoppers who have their eye on purchasing a CPO vehicle, the editors at Autotrader have rounded up some of the top CPO deals this month.
