Nissan Certified Pre-Owned Program Benefits, Warranty

What sets apart a Nissan certified pre-owned (CPO) vehicle from the typical used Nissan selection you'll find? There are many details involved, but to make it simple, we'd say that the confidence that comes with a CPO Nissan vehicle is what makes the biggest difference. Think of it like this: When buying a new car, you'll drive home with full confidence that all the many parts are up to spec and that a warranty backs them should something go wrong. While all of our used Nissan vehicles for sale offer quality and confidence, that new-car level of confidence is what you get with a CPO vehicle.

You'll also get it at a used-car price; that's the main benefit you get with a certified pre-owned Nissan. It starts with strict criteria and a deep dive into the vehicle's history to even be considered for certification. Once passed, a rigorous inspection must also be passed with flying colors. Once all is said and done, a vehicle will join our CPO inventory with many more benefits to make them as attractive as a used car can get. So what are these benefits? Let's find out.

The Nissan Certified Pre-Owned Benefits and Process

Let's start with the previously mentioned criteria that must be passed. A significant benefit in itself, this list of criteria ensures that only vehicles you can truly count on make it through to the next step:

• Vehicle must be less than 6 years old.
• Vehicle must have less than 80,000 miles.
• Vehicle must have a clean and non-branded title.

Where things get intense is when these criteria are passed. Now, the vehicle being considered for Nissan pre-owned certified status must pass a 162-point inspection performed by Nissan-trained technicians. This ensures that everything from creature comforts to critical mechanical components is in top shape and functioning properly. Pass that, and vehicles like a used Nissan Frontier can now enter the CPO fleet.

There's more to it than that, namely several further benefits to give you confidence behind the wheel. First, a CARFAX® Vehicle History Report™ is included, along with a unique-to-the-industry Nissan CARFAX® Three-Year Buyback Guarantee — contact us for details on this guarantee. What's more, though, you also get trip interruption coverage to reimburse food, lodging, and alternative transport expenses up to $500 in case a vehicle breakdown occurs over 100 miles from home.

You'll also get access to 24/7 Nissan Emergency Roadside Assistance for flat-tire changes, dead battery jump-starts, and more. Towing assistance up to $100 and car-rental reimbursement up to a maximum of $35 per day for five days when a warranty-covered breakdown occurs to make it all even better. So take that road trip near Laurel with full confidence; you've got some great benefits backing you up.

The Nissan Certified Pre-Owned Warranty

Another confidence-inspiring benefit to a Nissan certified pre-owned vehicle is the warranty coverage you get with it. Starting on the original new car in-service date, this Limited Powertrain Warranty lasts seven years or 100,000 miles. You'll get coverage on over 600 parts in the engine, transmission, and drivetrain. Say one of these parts breaks in your certified pre-owned Nissan Rogue; repairs will be covered with a $100 deductible per visit.
