Why Buy Used or Toyota Certified?

A Toyota Certified Used Vehicle is a used Toyota that has qualified on age and mileage, passed a vehicle history check and a multi-point inspection by Toyota-trained technicians, and comes with Toyota-backed warranty coverage. Toyota launched the program in 1996 and has sold over eight million certified vehicles. Here is exactly what every certified Toyota at Toyota of Lancaster goes through before it reaches our lot.

How a Toyota Becomes Certified: 5 Steps

  1. It has to qualify. Gold Certified: up to 6 years old with 85,000 miles or less. Silver Certified: up to 10 model years old with 125,000 miles or less, for vehicles outside Gold eligibility. Older or higher-mileage vehicles cannot be certified.
  2. Its history is checked. A CARFAX® Vehicle History Report™ is reviewed before the vehicle moves forward, and every certified Toyota comes with a free copy.4
  3. It is inspected point by point. Toyota-trained technicians complete Toyota’s Quality Assurance Inspection: a 160-point minimum for Gold Certified vehicles and a 136-point minimum for Silver Certified vehicles.
  4. It is reconditioned to Toyota’s standards. Anything that doesn’t pass inspection is repaired by Toyota dealer-trained technicians. Then it gets the spa-day treatment: a meticulous detail inside and out, so it looks and feels its best when you take delivery.
  5. It is certified and covered. Your coverage starts the day you buy, backed by Toyota and honored at over 1,400 Toyota dealers in the U.S. and Canada.
