Benefits of Buying Certified Pre-Owned

With certified-preowned Toyotas, the goal is to offer like-new vehicles at used car prices. You get a deal on the price compared to a new car. You also get meaningful warranties. A CarFax history report is available with each CPO Toyota. There’s a mileage limit and an age limit on which cars can be selected for CPO. These vehicles are also eligible for financing at new car rates for those who qualify.

Our highly trained mechanics perform 160 checkpoints before a vehicle can be declared Certified Pre-Owned. Visual inspections are backed up by test drives. The mechanic checks for excessive vibration during braking and listens for abnormal engine noises. The under-hood fluids must be clear, and there must be no evidence of oil sludge or leaks. Drive belts must be free of damage, and brake pads must show a wear rate of 50 percent or less. The engine, transmission, suspension and steering are inspected for damage.

All latches, switches, and gadgets must be fully functioning. The exterior body, lights, and glass must be free of noticeable damage. Likewise, the interior upholstery is checked for excessive wear. Each aspect of the cabin is examined for cleanliness and proper operation. After passing all of these tests, the Certified Pre-owned inventory is as close to factory fresh as possible.

Quality Pre-Owned Cars

When you purchase a Certified Pre-owned Toyota, the automaker stands behind your purchase. You get a one-year Limited warranty from the date of sale. You also get up to seven years/100,000 miles of powertrain warranty. For instance, if you buy a three-year-old car with 35,000 miles, you’ve got four years or 65,000 miles of coverage. For shoppers, these warranties represent peace of mind you can’t get from other used car purchases. Toyota includes one-year of free roadside assistance. If a flat tire leaves you stranded, help is a phone call away.
