When it's time to buy a car, most of us consider three options: buying a new car, leasing a car, or buying a used car. If you decide to go the used car route, you can choose to buy a previously leased car, which can have some unique benefits and disadvantages worth taking into account.

Buying a previously leased car (also known as an off-lease vehicle) typically involves buying a certified pre-owned (CPO) car. A CPO car must be reviewed carefully and vetted to be classified as a car that's in better condition than similar used cars. In general, CPO cars tend to be cleaner, have lower miles, and have a better history than other used cars. CPO vehicles also come with certain protections against pricey repairs or defects, thanks to an extended manufacturer's warranty.
