Pre-Owned vs. Toyota Certified Pre-Owned

It’s impossible to overlook the value proposition previously owned Toyota vehicles offer, and it gets even better with Toyota Certified Pre-Owned models. While both of these types of vehicles have benefits in common, Certified Pre-Owned models deliver extra peace of mind that many drivers love. Keyes Toyota covers what these models offer.

Shared Benefits

Toyota Certified Pre-Owned vehicles have many advantages in common with non-certified previously owned automobiles. In general, both Toyota Certified Pre-Owned and standard previously owned vehicles have lower purchase prices, registration fees, and insurance premiums than new Toyota cars. In addition, pre-owned vehicles are less susceptible to the rapid depreciation that new automobiles experience during the first few years they’re privately owned.

Gold vs Silver Certified Pre-Owned

Toyota Certified Pre-Owned offer several meaningful benefits beyond what standard pre-owned Toyota vehicles do. For starters, Toyota Certified Pre-Owned vehicles must meet certain criteria to earn their venerable titles. To achieve “Gold” status, a pre-owned Toyota car must be less than six years old, have fewer than 85,000 miles on its odometer, and pass a 160-point inspection.

Toyota Silver Certified Pre-Owned vehicles must be younger than 10 production years, have less than 125,000 miles on their odometers, and pass a 136-point inspection performed by certified Toyota technicians. Both kinds of Toyota Certified Pre-Owned vehicles come with a free vehicle history report and 24/7 roadside assistance.

Toyota Certified Pre-Owned Warranties

Factory-backed warranties are another thing that separates Toyota Certified Pre-Owned vehicles from their standard brethren. A Toyota Gold Certified Pre-Owned vehicle is covered by a 12-month/12,000-mile limited warranty that kicks in the day you purchase it. Gold Certified models are also covered by the seven-year/100,000-mile limited powertrain warranty that went into effect on the car’s original purchase date.

Vehicles with Toyota Silver Certified Pre-Owned status are also covered by warranties, including a 12-month/12,000-mile limited comprehensive warranty and a 12-month/12,000-mile limited powertrain warranty.
