Why are Toyota Certified Used Vehicles such a popular option?

Why, though? What’s the appeal of Toyota Certified Used Vehicles over other used cars? Toyota of Orlando is here to explain.

  • The TCUV program was first started back in 1996 to give customers the peace of mind that they were buying a quality used vehicle that also came with warranties, just in case.
  • In order for a vehicle to qualify as a TCUV, it has to be no older than six model years back (so this year, it must be a 2016 or later) and has to have fewer than 85,000 miles on the odometer.
  • The vehicle must also undergo a rigorous 160-point inspection from bumper to bumper that checks the exterior, interior, and under the hood for any issues or developing issues, inspecting elements like engine performance, transmission, transaxle, electronic system, tires, brakes, and suspension. Additionally, all present hybrid and fuel cell components are carefully inspected. It’s conducted by trained Toyota technicians who use a standard checklist from Toyota.
  • Additionally, the vehicle’s CarFax report is inspected to ensure it’s in good condition and safe to sell.

And buying a Toyota Certified Used Vehicle at our Orlando Toyota dealership has definite perks even besides the peace of mind you get knowing it’s been thoroughly inspected and vetted.

  • A 12-month/12,000-mile limited comprehensive warranty
  • A seven-year/100,000-mile limited powertrain warranty
  • Seven years/100,000 miles of Roadside Assistance
  • A free CarFax report
  • Available new car financing rates to ensure you get the best deal possible
  • The warranties are honored at 1,400 dealers in the US and Canada
  • Trade-ins can be applied
  • The car will have been reconditioned to like-new standards by Toyota trained technicians
  • Additional extended warranty coverage is available

Obviously, you can rest easy knowing you’ve made a good buy.

Still trying to figure out whether to buy new or used? Here are some points to consider as there are pros and cons to both.

  • New Toyotas offer cheaper insurance, lots of warranties and extended coverage options, no-cost maintenance, and fewer repairs and less maintenance since they – and all of their parts – are new.
  • Used vehicles offer less depreciation, a lower price tag and in turn, a cheaper monthly payment, and the option of buying a Toyota Certified Used Vehicle with the safeguards and warranties in place.
