What the Flag Means: Toyota Certifieds

Back in the day, when it was time to buy a vehicle, you had two choices: Pay the price for security of knowing everything that has happened to your car as its first owner, or save money and take a risk on a vehicle that may or may not “have a history.”

But what if there was an option that gave you the greenest grass on both sides of the automotive fence?

Ladies and gentlemen, the Toyota Certified vehicle – a pre-owned price for a reliable car without the shady past.

But what exactly makes a pre-owned vehicle “certified?”

For Toyota products, the Certified Program has to compete with its already reliable models with low prices and make it something better, so it certainly has big shoes to fill.  And it fills them.

“The slogan says it all – ‘The best new cars make the best used cars,’” says Certified Pre-Owned Sales Manager Paul Nopper. “You’ve got a car with great sustaining value that has been inspected to ensure all of that value is still intact.”

And we do that by having our certified technicians inspect every aspect of a recent model vehicle before we put it out on our line. They have to be thorough, and careful, because that vehicle also comes with a warranty.  If there’s anything out of place, the vehicle won’t be approved to wear that “Certified Pre-Owned” flag in its window.

This is a Toyota Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle. The Toyota Certified Pre-Owned Program offers you benefits such as:

• Thorough 160-point vehicle inspection by Toyota certified or authorized technicians.
• 24 Hour Roadside Assistance, 7 days a week.
• 7 years / 100,000 miles limited powertrain warranty, 1 year of roadside assistance (from original date of first use when purchased as new. Warranty coverage differs in AL, FL, GA, NC & SC contact dealer for more info)
• 12 month / 12,000 mile comprehensive warranty (from date of certified purchase).

There aren’t many better ways to shop on the pre-owned side of the fence, when you have a manufacturer guarantee.  It certainly beats sketchy meetings in grocery store parking lots with the faceless folks you met on ChadsAutoIndex.com, doesn’t it?
