This program created by the manufacturer ensures that each certified used car is in top shape and covered by benefits that will add peace of mind on the roads of Greater Landover, Hyattsville, and Cottage City, MD.
At Toyota Certified at Capital Plaza, we are here to break down each type of certification and help you understand the advantages of choosing a certified used Toyota.
Toyota Certified Used Vehicles (TCUVs) are Toyota cars that have passed a rigorous inspection and meet certain conditions. This program was launched in 1996 and has been gaining momentum each passing year because it provides extra peace of mind and coverage. The program has two types of certifications: Gold Certified and Silver Certified. Each category comes with its own set of benefits and assurances, ensuring that every certified vehicle meets Toyota’s stringent standards.
Gold-certified Toyota vehicles need to have less than 85,000 miles on the odometer and be less than six years old. To ensure quality, each car undergoes a 160-point Quality Assurance Inspection performed by certified technicians. This covers every aspect of the car and ensures that it meets Toyota’s highest standards. Once a Toyota gets the Gold Certified stamp, it's covered with the following benefits:
12-month/12,000-mile limited warranty
7-year/100,000-mile limited powertrain warranty
24-hour roadside assistance for seven years or 100,000 miles
Standard new-car financing rates
Plus, every Gold Certified comes with a free CARFAX® Vehicle History Report, and you can use your current car as a trade-in to get a more convenient price.
Silver Certified vehicles offer a reliable and more economical option for those who seek the benefits of the TCUV program. Vehicles in this category can be up to ten model years old with mileage between 60,000 and 125,000. To be Silver Certified, each Toyota must pass a 136-point Quality Assurance Inspection. Similar to the Gold Certified category, this type of TCUVs comes with a plethora of benefits:
12-month/12,000-mile limited powertrain warranty
24-hour roadside assistance for the same duration
