“Certified Pre-Owned vehicles are a great option for consumers who are looking for quality vehicles at a reduced cost," said David Wurster, Vincentric President. "In these uncertain economic times, it's more important than ever for shoppers to get the most value out of their vehicle purchases. Vincentric awards show consumers which vehicles provide the best value in their segments and empower buyers to make informed decisions that will provide long-term value.”
To determine the 2020 Vincentric Best CPO Value in Canada™ award winners, Vincentric conducted a statistical analysis to reveal which vehicles had lower than expected ownership costs given their market segment and price. Vincentric analyzed over 13,000 vehicle configurations using eight cost factors: depreciation, fees and taxes, financing, fuel, insurance, maintenance, opportunity cost, and repairs. The costs were measured after incorporating the specific CPO warranty offered by the manufacturer while also applying driving distance requirements necessary to be authorized as an OEM CPO vehicle. Each CPO vehicle was evaluated in all ten provinces plus the Northwest Territories, with the assumption that each vehicle is driven 20,000 kilometers annually over five years.
