Smart car shoppers can get a good certified pre-owned 2012-2015 BMW 3 Series and save thousands off the price of a new model. Autotrader experts have rounded up 10 “Must Shop” Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) luxury vehicles that savvy car shoppers should consider. The BMW 3 Series is at the top of the list.

Why is the 3 Series a good buy?

Car shoppers looking for a luxury vehicle will have to spend a lot more to get the latest 3 Series model, yet if you are willing to get the previous generation 2012-2015 model, savvy car shoppers can save thousands of dollars. A new 3 Series can run $33,150-$49,200 depending on the model. A one-four year old CPO model can save you a lot of money and you get peace of mind with a Certified Pre-Owned car.

5 reasons to choose a 2012-2015 3 Series

CPO vehicles are a great option for savvy shoppers looking for many of the benefits of a new vehicle. A pre-owned 3 Series still offers a similar look to the new 3 Series model and can also come with BMW’s manufacturer-backed warranty. Autotrader’s criteria for making their “Must Shop” CPO luxury vehicles list includes the car having a price tag of $50,000 or less; a manufacturer-backed certified warranty; similar look to a current new car; a minimum of 5 years or 100,000 miles of powertrain coverage included in the purchase price; and an overall federal government safety rating of 5 stars.

Why choose a BMW 3 Series CPO vehicle?

Sure you can find a cheaper “for sale by owner” BMW 3 Series out there. Unlike the typical used car, a certified pre-owned vehicle is put through a fairly rigorous inspection, somewhere between 100 and 160 inspection points. You will have peace of mind there aren’t expensive repair bills coming. It comes with the manufacturers warranty which covers repairs if something does happen. You can also get special financing and lease offers through BMW Financial Services that can save you additional money. BMW offers CPO-Elite with less than 15,001 miles and CPO vehicles with under 60,000 miles on the clock. There’s also two BMW protection plans to choose from depending on your budget.

Take a look at the new 2016 BMW 3 Series and then compare it with a Certified Pre-Owned 2012-2015 BMW 3 Series. It can make sense for savvy luxury car shoppers. It’s got the model’s current styling, comes with BMW’s manufacturer-backed warranty, comes with a 5 star safety rating, powertrain coverage is included and you’ll save thousands off the price of a new model.
