Group brand family on a regular basis." The Chrysler Group offers
one of the most comprehensive Certified Pre-owned Vehicle programs
in the industry. For a vehicle to be certified under the Chrysler
Group's used-vehicle program, it must be a 2002 through 2007 model
pre-owned vehicle with less than 65,000 miles and pass a stringent
125-point inspection. The Chrysler Group's CPO vehicles are backed
by an eight-year/80,000-mile powertrain limited warranty, 24-hour,
365-day full roadside assistance with a $35 per day rental car
allowance and a three-month or 3,000-mile Maximum Care warranty, in
addition to a Carfax Vehicle History Report and buyback guarantee.
Marketed as "Brand Spankin' Used(R)," the Chrysler Group's CPO
vehicles are sold only through Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge dealerships
that have earned the automaker's Five Star certification. Five Star
certification is a comprehensive validation of the dealership's
facilities, operational processes, salesperson and technician
training accreditation as well as customer satisfaction survey
ratings. Approximately 2,100 Chrysler Group dealerships in the
United States are certified Five Star dealers. DATASOURCE: Chrysler
