Click Here to Get Your Vehicle's Value in 10 Seconds!

Aug 11, 2023

Are you looking to buy your next car? Are you considering a used vehicle? Before you buy, you should know that not all used vehicles are the same. If you’re shopping for used cars in Beaverton, Oregon, consider choosing a Toyota Certified Used Vehicle. They’re the best pre-owned cars on the market today.

It can be hard to find a quality used car on your own. It’s easy to find cars on sites like Craigslist that look like a great deal. But while you might save some money up front, buying a used car this way comes with risk. For one, you might not know the car’s history; the car could end up being a lemon.

A local dealership is a more reputable option. However, it’s important to do your research. Not every dealership offers the same benefits and protections on pre-owned cars, which can significantly add value to your purchase.

Toyota stands above the rest. Our vehicles are among the most reliable vehicles available today. That extends to our used cars too. With Toyota’s Certified Used Vehicle Program, you can be assured that any car you look at will be just as long-lasting and reliable as our newest models.

Here’s why a Toyota Certified Used Vehicle is a great choice.

Top 5 Reasons to Shop Toyota Certified Used Vehicles in Beaverton Oregon

1. All Toyota Certified Used Vehicles Meet the Highest Standards

We want you to be just as satisfied with your used car as you would be with a brand-new one. We have the highest standards for our certified vehicles and don’t certify every car that gets traded in to us.

Our Toyota Certified Used Vehicle Seal of Approval only gets applied to cars that:

  • Are within six years of the current model year
  • Have less than 85,000 miles on their odometers
  • Have passed Toyota’s 160-point quality assurance inspection

These standards are very high. We want you to have the peace of mind that your vehicle will be reliable and last you for years.

2. You’ll Know the History of All of Our Certified Used Vehicles

You’ve spotted a car with a “for sale” sign in your neighborhood. It seems like a great deal, but is it? Even if the previous owner assures you it doesn’t have any problems, not knowing the full history can be a risk that could cost you a lot of money down the road.

All of Toyota’s used vehicles are required to have a complete history. This ensures that you’ll get a quality used vehicle, no matter which one you choose. Our pre-owned vehicles, both used and Certified Used Vehicles, come with a CARFAX report, free to you. These reports tell you a wealth of information about the vehicle, such as accident history, number of previous owners, and complete service history, and Certified Used Vehicles must meet all eligibility requirements. These reports help you get a fuller picture of how much value a car really has.

3. Your Used Car Comes With a Warranty

One positive feature of new cars is their warranty. As a car owner, it’s nice to feel reassured that your vehicle will be covered if anything needs to be repaired or replaced. Some dealerships don’t offer the same coverage to their used cars, which is a drawback for many people.

At Toyota, however, we believe that pre-owned cars should be covered too. Since our high standards mean we stand by all the cars that we sell, we offer warranties and protections for used vehicles. Your vehicle is a major purchase, and you want to be assured that you’ll have coverage and support, no matter what.

All Toyota Certified Used Vehicles come with the following:

  • 12-month/12,000-mile Limited Comprehensive Warranty: This covers any repair or replacement of parts that fail under everyday use.
  • 24-Hour Roadside Assistance for one year: Whether you need your car jump-started, towed, or opened after you’ve gotten locked out, Toyota will provide you with 24-hour service across the United States and Canada.
  • 7-year/100,000-mile Limited Powertrain Warranty: This covers any repair of your engine, transmission, and most anything else under the hood of your car. Toyota will also provide you with a substitute vehicle if your car is being repaired.

4. You Can Save Money by Choosing a Toyota Certified Used Vehicle

You might be attracted to buying a used car because of the price tag. New cars are wonderful for people who want to customize their vehicles with all the latest technology and features. However, new cars depreciate quickly after being purchased, and their premiums and fees are usually higher.

Used cars don’t depreciate nearly as much, and you can still get cars with newer technology and features, as all Certified Used Vehicles are six years old or newer.

Also, insurance premiums and annual registration fees are typically lower for used cars than for the newest models, saving you even more money.

Even better, Toyota Certified Used Vehicles are less risky than your average used car, thanks to how an intensive 160-point minimum Quality Assurance Inspection is completed before selling them. That means you won’t have to pay a higher interest rate, and you’ll be able to qualify for new car rates through our financial services.

5. Shopping With a Quality Local Dealer Will Give You the Best Experience

In today’s world of online shopping, we all know that buying items online is convenient. When purchasing something as important as a vehicle, though, you will want to test it out in person.

That’s where your local dealership comes in. Hop into the driver’s seat and feel how the car drives. Are the seats comfortable? Is the trunk roomy enough for your needs? Do you like the interior and features that it offers? Is the backseat big enough for your kids?

We know that going to a dealer might seem intimidating. At Beaverton Toyota, however, we do things differently with our CLEAR approach to car sales. Our sales associates are here to help you make the best decision for you, not to make the highest commission. We are fully transparent with our customers about prices and options, and you’ll have every tool you need to feel confident about your used car purchase.

We offer the highest quality certified used cars in Beaverton, Oregon. If you’re ready to find your next car, come in today.
