What Are Toyota Certified Vehicles?
Since its inception in 1996, the Toyota Certified Used Vehicles (TCUV) program has sold more than 7,000,000 vehicles. Toyota certified models reflect the brand’s unwavering commitment to innovation, quality, and durability – and whether you’re interested in a sedan, SUV, or minivan, you can be certain that any Toyota certified vehicle at Dalton Toyota National City is an excellent investment.
What Should I Know About Toyota Certified Cars?
The certified pre-owned Toyota models that belong to the TCUV program are divided into two tiers: Gold Certified and Silver Certified. The requirements for each category are:
- Silver Certified vehicles: can be up to 10 model years old and have between 60,000 - 125,000 miles on the odometer.
- Gold Certified vehicles: must be no older than six model years and have 85,000 miles or less on the odometer.
Unlike a standard pre-owned Toyota car, TCUV models must pass a comprehensive vehicle inspection that’s administered by our factory-trained service team. For Silver Certified models, this inspection covers 136 points, which increases to 160 points on Gold Certified models. These inspections are meticulous and span every part and section of the car, from the engine block and braking system to the exhaust and the suspension. Finally, a close examination of the vehicle’s interior and exterior condition and appearance is performed to ensure they meet standards.
