It makes sense that a product will survive longer if it is made better, so investing in a high-end, low-mileage Toyota at a fantastic price is a really wise choice.
The Toyota Certified Used Vehicles (TCUV) program was introduced in 1996 and is built on Toyota’s enduring commitment to quality, innovation, and durability. The TCUV program has gained pace with each passing year, reaching over five million purchases and counting.
An outstanding coverage policy also comes as a benefit in addition to an industry-leading background. We’ve got you covered with a 12-month/12,000-mile Limited Comprehensive Warranty1 and a 7-year/100,000-mile Limited Powertrain Warranty, both recognized at more than 1,400 Toyota dealers in the U.S. and Canada. Additionally, we offer one full year of Roadside Assistance3.
Process of Certification
Every step of our accreditation procedure is done with you in mind. From the moment a Toyota dealer purchases the car until the vehicle is sold, the TCUV standards are in effect. Any vehicle with an odometer reading of 85,000 miles or fewer from the current model year, up to and including six-year-old vehicles, may apply for certification. To ensure that only the best cars are awarded the Toyota Certified Seal of Approval, a CARFAX vehicle history report is examined prior to the 160-point inspection every certified Toyota undergoes.
No, a Toyota Certified Used Vehicle (TCUV) is one that has less than 85,000 miles on the odometer and is a current model year Toyota, up to and including vehicles that are six years old. Every Toyota dealer must order a complete CARFAX Vehicle History ReportTM with outcomes indicating NO disqualifying conditions. The next step is a thorough 160-point Quality Assurance Inspection, which covers mechanical, detailing, and aesthetic criteria. Only the greatest vehicles may get the Toyota Certified Used Vehicle Seal of Approval thanks to these exacting criteria.
1. Comprehensive Warranty for 12 months or 12,000 miles.
2. Limited Powertrain Warranty for 7 years and 100,000 miles.
3. A 12-month period of roadside assistance.
4. A minimum quality assurance inspection of 160 points.
5. Free Vehicle History Report from CARFAX.
6. Available Standard New-Car Financing Rates.
7. Free transferrable Extended Warranty Coverage (items 1, 2, 3, and 4 above) for increased resale value.
8. Reconditioned by Toyota-trained mechanics to the highest standards.
9. More than 1,400 Toyota dealers in the United States and Canada fulfill warranties.
10. Acceptance of trade-ins.
11. Smooth transaction processing, including DMV paperwork

Is my Toyota warranty transferable?
Toyota does provide transferable warranties, but your ability to do so depends on your location, the vehicle’s age and mileage, whether you bought it new or used, and all of these factors. The New Vehicle Limited Warranty, if the vehicle is sold while under warranty, is automatically and free of charge transferred to succeeding owners, according to Toyota’s website. For instance, if the first owner sells a Toyota Highlander that is two years old, the new owner may continue to benefit from the standard warranty for an additional year. The used car warranty is transferrable if the car is Toyota-certified used, however the coverage starts on the day the car was first bought from a Toyota dealer. Remember that transfers of Toyota warranties are not permitted in Hawaii, and that they may have differing warranty coverage in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina.
What does an extended car warranty cover?
A longer warranty offers protection from pricey, unanticipated repairs. The coverage varies based on the provider and the plan you choose, and it covers repairs for a predetermined number of time and miles.
What is the standard Toyota warranty?
Like all auto warranties, the basic Toyota warranty is a free bonus with the purchase of a new vehicle and covers specific mechanical failures.
What is covered by Toyota’s warranty?
As soon as the car is delivered to the buyer, the Toyota warranty is activated. It includes fundamental protection, protection for the powertrain, rust-through protection, and, in some areas, protection for emissions.
Does Toyota offer extended car warranties?
Yes, Toyota offers Platinum, Gold, and Powertrain levels of protection that can be purchased through a dealership. These choices, meanwhile, may seem limited to car owners because repairs must be carried out at a Toyota shop. They also don’t cover everything.
Should I purchase and extended car warranty through Toyota or a third-party provider?
Although the final decision rests with the wants and tastes of the car owner, customers may be happier with the options provided by third-party providers. We advise CARCHEX because it provides highly customizable plans, freedom and choice when it comes to repair facilities, substantial coverage, and advantages for the driver. CARCHEX offers free quotes over the phone at 866-254-0205 or online.
*Data current as of May 2017. Based on the average total cost of the Vehicle Protection Plan for a four-year coverage period, the average monthly coverage cost is calculated. Actual monthly payments will vary depending on the payment policy of the plan. Depending on the specific make, model, year, mileage, coverage level, and term duration, individual prices may vary.
Electric Vehicle CPO Programs are Different
Because their powertrains, batteries, electric motors, and related components are different from those of gasoline-powered automobiles and trucks, electric vehicles frequently come with distinct new-vehicle warranties. However, the fundamentals of coverage remain the same: You receive a particular powertrain warranty and a restricted bumper-to-bumper warranty that increases coverage for additional years and miles.
Limitations on Vehicle Choice
Consider a three-year-old Exemplar GTX Triple-Turbo Super-Snorter four-door in Stratospheric Blue as your ideal vehicle. Be ready: there’s a risk that particular automobile won’t be offered as a CPO vehicle. For the vehicles they offer, CPO programs have age and eligibility criteria. The model and color you want might be available at a dealer someplace, but it might be too old, have too many miles on it, or just be in too bad of shape to be eligible for a CPO program. You might have to compromise for an Exemplar GTX CPO in Aurora Borealis Green because there will probably be other, comparable models available. Being less fussy about the little things will help you succeed.
Cost of CPO
There isn’t a set amount that CPO cars always cost more than comparable non-CPO models, though. However, the difference is typically not in the tens of thousands of dollars. Keep in mind that you are paying for the thorough dealer examination, any necessary repairs or maintenance, and the assurance of a significantly longer guarantee than if you were to buy it as a regular used car. Then, like with every new automobile transaction, you must haggle over the final price with the dealer.
Required Maintenance
You must adhere to the manufacturer’s maintenance schedule, according to CPO programs. Your warranty can be voided if you don’t do that. And just like you would with a brand-new automobile protected by the typical new-car warranty, you must have that routine maintenance work done at a franchised dealer.
We don’t see a problem with that because modern cars only need routine oil changes. Dealers are also well-equipped to perform any repairs that are required and handle the paperwork related to your CPO warranty. Again, be informed of the specifics of the certified pre-owned plan you’re interested in before you sign on the dotted line. Some CPO programs do involve a deductible for some services.
You Could Spend Less
Almost invariably, older, higher-mileage automobiles without CPO designation will be less expensive to buy. And for some customers, that might be the best option. However, if you spend less, you’ll get less: a car with little to no warranty coverage and a shorter usable life. That can cost more than you anticipate.

What renders a Toyota warranty invalid?
The warranty coverage on your vehicle may be negatively impacted by the installation of race or off-highway use parts. The installation of Race or Off-Highway Use Parts on a vehicle, as well as any malfunctions they might cause, are not covered by the car warranty.
What does the Toyota warranty not cover?
The guarantee does not apply to parts of your car that need to be fixed or replaced due to wear and tear from use. Brake pads, brake rotors, batteries, wiper blades, hoses, air filters, oil filters, lightbulbs, and fluids are some examples of the things that fall under this category. Additionally, any repairs brought on by a collision, vandalism, or negligence are not covered by the guarantee. As a result, it’s crucial to get your car maintained at the dealership in accordance with the manufacturer’s guidelines.
