If you’re shopping for a Certified Pre-Owned Toyota, you’re making a smart move – and we’re here to make it even easier. At Milton Ruben Toyota, drivers across Augusta, North Augusta, and Evans trust our certified inventory for value, quality, and peace of mind.

But what exactly does certified mean? And what’s the difference between Gold Certified and Silver Certified? We’ve got answers.

What Is a Certified Pre-Owned Toyota?

A Certified Pre-Owned Toyota is a late-model vehicle that meets Toyota’s highest quality standards. These vehicles undergo detailed inspections, are backed by Toyota warranties, and come with added perks that make them feel closer to new than typical pre-owned options.

Toyota now offers two levels of certification: Gold Certified and Silver Certified. Here’s how they compare.

Gold Certified Toyota

Gold Certified is Toyota’s top-tier certification program and comes with the most comprehensive benefits. To qualify, the vehicle must:

• Be six model years old or newer.
• Have 85,000 miles or fewer.
• Pass a 160-point quality assurance inspection.
• Include a clean CARFAX® Vehicle History Report.

Gold Certified benefits include:

• 12-Month/12,000-Mile Comprehensive Warranty
• Seven-Year/100,000-Mile Limited Powertrain Warranty (from Original Purchase Date)
• One year of 24-hour Roadside Assistance
• Free CARFAX® Report
• 10-year/150,000-mile Hybrid Battery Warranty (on hybrid models)

Gold Certified is ideal for drivers who want the strongest warranty coverage and a vehicle that’s been thoroughly inspected and reconditioned by Toyota-trained technicians.

Silver Certified Toyota

Silver Certified offers Toyota-backed assurance at a great value. These vehicles must:

• Be up to 10 years old.
• Have up to 150,000 miles.
• Pass a 136-point inspection.
• Include a clean CARFAX® Vehicle History Report.

Silver Certified benefits include:

• 12-Month/12,000-Mile Roadside Assistance
• Free CARFAX® Report

Silver Certified is perfect for budget-conscious shoppers who still want peace of mind from Toyota-backed warranties and inspections.
