One Program, So Many Options: CDJR Certified Pre-Owned Program
Shopping for a used vehicle once posed a significant risk because buyers were left with a lot of uncertainty and unanswered questions regarding the vehicle’s reliability, maintenance history, and title designations such as flood, fire, or salvage. Chrysler’s Certified Pre-Owned program is designed to eliminate that risk because it holds vehicles to a higher standard. This gives you the confidence to shop for and buy a Certified Pre-Owned Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram.
Age and Mileage
For a Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, or Ram to earn its certification badge, it must pass a stringent certification process. Every Certified Pre-Owned vehicle must be less than five model years old, have less than 75,000 miles, and have a clean title. The vehicle must not have any damage to the frame, and any accessories, which are common on rigs like the Wrangler and Grand Cherokee, must not compromise the vehicle’s operability, safety, or emissions.
Condition
Once a vehicle meets these requirements, it must then pass a comprehensive 125-point inspection where certified technicians go over every aspect of the vehicle from the owner’s manual and warranty paperwork to the transmission, heater, air conditioner, fluids, and electrical components. Any issues that need to be repaired are documented, and the vehicle is reconditioned using authentic Mopar parts. These repairs are included in the CARFAX vehicle history report so that you know exactly what you’re getting.
Warranty
Every Certified Pre-Owned Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, and Ram comes with a 7-year or 100,000-mile Powertrain Limited Warranty and a 3-month or 3,000-mile Maximum Care Warranty. The Powertrain Limited Warranty covers the repair or replacement of most major powertrain components, while the Maximum Care Warranty covers almost all other components on the vehicle. With a minimal deductible, this coverage gives you greater peace of mind on the road, knowing that Chrysler always has you covered.
Chrysler extends this coverage by offering the industry’s first Certified Upgrade Plans. The exclusive coverage complements the Powertrain Limited Warranty by giving you a choice between three unique plans–Powertrain Care, Added Care Plus, and Maximum Care. These plans include everything from trip interruption coverage and car rental allowance to a lower deductible and roadside assistance.
Other Benefits
Chrysler makes buying a Certified Pre-Owned vehicle even sweeter by adding a host of benefits. The 90-day trial to SiriusXM satellite radio gives you on-demand entertainment wherever the road leads. You can also rest easy knowing that help is only a call away with 24-hour towing and roadside assistance that includes flat-tire service, gas delivery, battery jump, towing, and lockout service.
Chrysler: Brand Overview
Chrysler is a great option when it comes to shopping for a Certified Pre-Owned vehicle because of its long history in the American automotive industry. Walter P. Chrysler, a machinist, turned entrepreneur and automotive pioneer, set out to build a sophisticated sedan that was well-built and affordable. The Chrysler Six made its debut in 1924 to widespread acclaim and prompted Chrysler to take over the failing Maxwell Motor Corporation to form the Chrysler Corporation in 1925. Within the year, Chrysler acquired the American Motor Body Company, a body supply source that laid a stellar foundation for a company that would soon become known as one of America’s “Big Three” automakers.
Since its founding, Chrysler expanded and diversified with the addition of brands like Plymouth, DeSoto, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram, much like General Motors and its many sub-brands like Buick, GMC, Chevrolet, and Cadillac. These acquisitions made Chrysler one of the biggest automakers in America and, subsequently, gave Chrysler the chance to focus on its own brand. This led Chrysler back to its roots and what it does best–build sophisticated sedans that are expertly engineered and surprisingly affordable.
The Chrysler 300 is an outstanding reflection of Chrysler’s rich heritage and its ability to balance opulence with affordability. It’s earned numerous awards for its design, luxurious interior, and overall attractiveness. These awards include the “Highest Ranked Large Car in Initial Quality” from J.D. Power, a Ward’s “10 Best Interiors” rating, a top pick from AAA, and Edmunds’ “Most Wanted Vehicle.”
Ram: Brand Overview
Without Dodge, Ram wouldn’t exist, but don’t mistake the modern Ram truck for the Dodge Ram of decades past. Dodge first adopted the Ram name in the early 1980s when it unveiled the Dodge Ram lineup of light-duty trucks. This marked a significant shift in truck design. Throughout the 1900s to the 1960s, trucks were primarily used as workhorses to haul cargo. This changed in the 1980s with models like the Dodge Ram that added a bigger engine and a host of modern conveniences and luxuries.
The Dodge Ram revolutionized the truck segment and proved that drivers no longer had to sacrifice capability or functionality for luxury or comfort. This trend continued throughout the 1990s and 2000s until Dodge made a shocking announcement–its separation from Ram. The separation allowed Dodge to focus on its cars and SUVs, giving Ram a lineup of its own. That lineup meant Ram could focus all its efforts on building newer, more luxurious trucks. The split was more than amicable; it was profitable for both parties.
Since the Dodge-Ram separation in 2009, Ram has flourished with models like the 1500, 2500, and 3500. These exceptional workhorses are some of the most luxurious and most capable trucks you’ll find on the road. As you can expect, the trucks have earned numerous honors and accolades throughout the industry, from countless top safety ratings to a variety of “Best Buy” awards. Even Ram’s powertrain lineup is one of the most awarded in the industry, which speaks volumes to the Ram brand and the power that every Ram truck brings to the road.
Jeep: Brand Overview
The Jeep brand was born out of necessity at the dawn of World War II when the American military asked automakers to design a light reconnaissance vehicle to use in the war efforts. The Willys Jeep, known then as the “Quad” for its four-wheel drive system, was designed and delivered to the Army in only 75 days. Its practicality and capability earned it a stellar reputation among military troops and prompted Jeep to introduce the four-wheel drive rig to the civilian market.
In the years since Jeep flourished and built its reputation as the “Go Anywhere. Do Anything” brand. This is easily seen in iconic adventurers like the Wrangler, award-winning SUVs like the Grand Cherokee, and capable road warriors like the Gladiator. These models embody Jeep’s commitment to adventure and deliver the brand’s legendary four-wheel drive capability that distinguishes it from every other truck and SUV in the industry.
You don’t simply have to take our word for it as Jeep’s dozens of awards speak volumes to the brand and its impressive lineup. You’ll find numerous awards from Off Road magazine, with models like the Renegade ranked as the “Best Compact SUV.” The Grand Cherokee, which is the most awarded SUV ever built, has no shortage of honors, including top safety ratings from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. This makes it an attractive option for families with a sense of adventure or those looking for the versatility of a luxury SUV that can easily hold its own on the trail.
The Gladiator isn’t excluded from the spotlight, with the truck earning top honors from Car and Driver as well as a Pickup Truck of the Year Award from Four Wheeler, the latter of which is a huge honor. Four Wheeler is the world’s authority on four-wheel drive vehicles and hosts an invitation-only competition each year to find the best-of-the-best on the trail. With the Gladiator’s trail-rated badge, its off-road exclusive components, and its award-winning powertrain, it’s easy to see why the truck earned the top spot in the event.
Dodge: Brand Overview
Did you know that Dodge has ties to the Ford brand? Brothers Horace and John Dodge founded the Dodge Brothers Company in the early 1900s and immediately built their reputation for manufacturing engine and chassis components. Henry Ford hired the brothers to exclusively build parts and engines for Ford in exchange for a share in the Ford Motor Company. The partnership gave Dodge the footing it needed to expand and later break ties with Ford to launch a lineup of its own, the latter of which debuted in 1914.
The introduction of the Dodge touring car pushed the company to overnight success, earning it a top spot as one of America’s most popular automakers. Unfortunately, the success was overshadowed by the death of the Dodge brothers in 1920 and the lingering question of what would happen to the company. The company remained in limbo for several years until Walter P. Chrysler purchased Dodge for $170 million in what he later called the best investment of his life.
With Chrysler at the helm, Dodge quickly reestablished itself in the American automotive industry. The company built its reputation for an exceptional lineup of cars like the Challenger and trucks like the Dodge Ram 1500 that balanced affordability with luxury and capability with versatility. By 2009, however, things shifted when Dodge announced its split from Ram, allowing Dodge to focus entirely on its lineup of cars and SUVs. While shocking, the split proved a wise move as Dodge poured every ounce of innovation into its lineup and reaped the benefits with models like the Challenger and Charger earning top honors at JD Power’s Automotive, Performance, Execution, and Layout (APEAL) Awards. The iconic speed demons also earned prestigious Ideal Vehicle Awards from AutoPacific in addition to a host of other honors from leading industry experts.
