5 Advantages of Buying Toyota Certified Used Vehicles

Looking to buy your next car? Unsure whether to purchase new or used? Why not go with the absolute best-quality Toyota used cars on the market? Since 1996, Toyota’s Certified Used Vehicle program has ensured customers get high-quality, long-lasting vehicles for an accessible price. And drivers have taken note of its benefits, with more and more Certified Used Vehicles purchased each year. So, what are you waiting for? Read on to find out why buying a Toyota Certified Used Vehicle is a smart move.

1. Toyota Certified Used Vehicles Meet Higher Standards

We cannot stress enough that these aren’t the same quality of used cars you can find at any old place. It’s not every car that can receive the Certified Used Vehicle seal of approval. Instead, this label is how you know you’re getting the cream of the crop. So, if you think you know what to expect with used cars, be prepared to be very pleasantly surprised.

To start, there are specific standards each car needs to meet. To even be considered for the Certified Used Vehicle program, cars must be models that are six years old or younger. Sometimes this even means current model year vehicles. In addition to the age, another requirement is that the cars have 85,000 or fewer miles on the odometer.

While these are the two main factors, the overall process of receiving this certification is very thorough. Each car undergoes a 160-point quality assurance inspection so you can feel confident in every certified vehicle’s high quality.

2. You Will Get to Have a Full Picture of the Toyota Used Car’s History

Cars are only accepted into the certification program if there is a clean vehicle history. But don’t just take our word for it. To have extra assurance on this advantage, you’ll have physical evidence that your car meets that standard. So, we will provide the full vehicle history report as part of the program. It’s another way you’ll be assured of the vehicle’s quality.

Each Toyota Certified Used Vehicle comes with a CarFax report. This is included at no extra cost to you. If you’ve ever purchased a car before, you already know how reputable, informative, and helpful these reports are. They’ve provided billions of drivers with complete confidence in their car purchases. Sometimes, you have to ask for them or find them on your own, but at Beaverton Toyota, we provide everything you need to make your decision.

3. Your Toyota Certified Vehicle Will Come With an Excellent Warranty

Many people avoid purchasing used cars because they are worried about the warranty. Traditionally, used cars are believed to have lower quality coverage than new cars. People assume the lower costs of used cars mean there must be some sacrifice. But again, Toyota certified cars are not your average used cars.

Another advantage of the Toyota certified used vehicle program is the extended coverage policy. All three of the following start from the date of purchase. When you drive away from the dealership in one of these cars, you’ll have peace of mind knowing it comes with:

1. 12-month/12,000-mile, Limited Comprehensive Warranty
2. 7-year/100,000-mile, Limited Powertrain Warranty
3. 7-year/100,000-mile, 24-Hour Roadside Assistance

Roadside Assistance includes most of the services you’d expect. That means you’ll have help with flat tires, jump starts, and lockout services. If you need fuel delivery, this includes up to three gallons. In case of a breakdown or if you need recovery from a collision, it also means your car will be towed to the nearest Toyota dealership. If your Toyota certified vehicle is an electronic model, it would be towed to the nearest authorized alternative charging or fueling station.

4. Toyota Certified Means You’ll Have Great Rates

As you already know, used cars are usually more affordable than new ones. Toyota Certified Used Vehicles may be a little more expensive than used cars that don’t fit the certified standards. But the benefits that put these vehicles above the rest will really pay off, especially over time. And not just metaphorically.

If you take out a loan for your used car, Toyota Certified Used Vehicles actually have lower interest rates than Toyota used cars that don’t meet the standards of this program. This is because the cars must be newer models with fewer miles. Since a Certified Used Toyota fits these requirements, the lender knows that it is likely to last longer. And that it will stay in good condition for longer.

5. The Purchase-to-Ownership Process Will Be Easy, Flexible, and Satisfactory

The benefits of the Toyota certification program aren’t limited to the car itself. There are also advantages to the experience.

The paperwork and handling of the transaction won’t be a headache. Not even the DMV paperwork. And all the necessary information included in the contract will be spelled out clearly for you as part of the CLEAR Purchase Experience. We make sure you understand completely before you sign.

But that’s not all! There’s also the advantage of the Toyota certified program’s special satisfaction guarantee. If you’re not completely happy with the particular vehicle you chose, you’re not stuck with it. Instead, you can do a one-time trade and drive off in a Toyota vehicle that is more your fancy. It’s not every day you get a do-over like this. But it’s one of the many ways this program ensures that you wind up with the car of your dreams.

These are just a few of the advantages Toyota Certified Used Vehicles have to offer. We’re sure you’ll see why over seven million cars in this program have been sold so far. Still have questions?
