Certified Pre-Owned Cars For Sale

You may have noticed while shopping for used cars in Lexington KY, that Richmond dealerships offer two kinds of used vehicles. There are the general “used” vehicles and then there are “Certified Pre-Owned (CPO)” vehicles. So, what is the difference between these two types of used cars? While all used vehicles that are sold to Toyota South go through extensive testing to ensure they’re safe on Lexington roads, Certified Pre-Owned vehicles must meet certain criteria to qualify as CPO cars. Learn more about what it takes to be a CPO verified vehicle below, and feel free to contact us with your questions.

What is a Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle?

The differences between used cars for sale at Richmond car dealerships and CPO cars for sale in Lexington may be confusing at first, but the differences are actually quite easy to discern one you know how a car classifies as a CPO vehicle. In Frankfort, most dealerships offer used cars that can vary in age, mileage, and condition. While all these vehicles have been tested to ensure their quality, the conditions are set by the dealership. Certified Pre-Owned vehicles must meet standards set by the Toyota Motor Company in order to qualify. Read on to see what the requirements are for a used Toyota to be Certified Pre-Owned:

• The vehicle is within six years of the current model year.
• The vehicle has 85,000 miles or less on it.
• It’s passed a 160 multi-point inspection.
• A detailed history report of the vehicle is available.
• CPO vehicles come with extended warranties and limited powertrain warranties.
• Roadside Assistance for all Toyota CPO models.

If you want the peace of mind that comes with a new car, but the cost of a used vehicle, then a Certified Pre-Owned car is great middle ground. Learn more about the Toyota Certified Program with Toyota South!
