Why Buy Toyota Certified?

THE BEST NEW CARS MAKE THE BEST USED CARS

It stands to reason that the better a product is made the longer it will last, which makes getting a high-quality, low mileage Toyota at a great price a very savvy move.

Toyota’s timeless commitment to quality, innovation, and durability is the foundation upon which the Toyota Certified Used Vehicles (TCUV) program launched in 1996. With each passing year, the TCUV program has gained momentum – totaling over seven million sales and counting.

Along with industry-leading heritage comes another advantage; an exceptional coverage policy. With a 12-month/12,000-mile Limited Comprehensive Warranty1 a 7-year/100,000-mile Limited Powertrain Warranty2 plus 24 Hour Roadside Assistance for 7 years/ 100,000 miles3, honored at more than 1,400 Toyota dealers in the U.S. and Canada, we’ve got you covered.

Certification Process

Our certification process keeps you in mind every step of the way. The TCUV standards apply from the time a Toyota dealer acquires the vehicle through to the final sale. Each candidate for certification can be a current model year vehicle, up to and including six-year-old models, with 85,000 miles or less on the odometer. Prior to the rigorous 160-point inspection, every certified Toyota goes through, a CARFAX vehicle history report is reviewed to ensure that only the best of the best vehicles receive the Toyota Certified Seal of approval.
