Supposedly, the jeep is being sold on Monday. Awesome, it's gone, but that leaves a need for a replacement vehicle. My 63 year old mom's vehicle to be specific, who wants a "last car" so 10-15 years at 6500 or less miles per year.and under $15k.

We were initially looking at new versa. They work, she likes them, good warranty, right price, but then I was reminded of CPO.

Nissan actually has a better warranty CPO than new. It turns out Hyundai extends the balance of the original 10 year/100k warranty with a 12 month 12k warranty IF I read the print correctly.

Sonatas and elantras, as well as Tucsons are now on the list as there are 14,15,16s available locally with less than 20k miles for under $14k. This Hyundai warranty would last the expected ownership of the vehicle at a $50 repair deductible, and knowing their quality it seems to be the way to go.

But is there anyone else to look out for? How is the Honda CPO program? A civic or accord could fit the bill if the warranty or perks were there.

Don't know about any other programs, but when we bought my wife's Mercedes we found the price of the extended warranty was negotiable. Also, the warranty was a factory Mercedes warranty, which is miles better to deal with than the aftermarket ones you can get (which are really service agreements, not warranties). On top of all that, the Mercedes warranty had unlimited mileage and was transferable. We only kept the car a couple of years so it was a great selling point to have another year left on it. Of course, we took it in the shorts on depreciation (even though we bought it used) because, of course, Mercedes.
