Certification Process for Pre-Owned Hondas

There are three common categories of vehicles: new, used, and certified pre-owned (CPO). Of course, it’s always exciting to drive a new Honda. However, if your budget is tight, you still have a choice between a used or certified pre-owned unit. A certified pre-owned Honda offers the perks of a new vehicle without the price tag.

Buying a certified pre-owned vehicle can be confusing when you are unfamiliar with the process and guarantees. Not to worry; Hendrick Honda Easley will guide you through the certification process. Additionally, before you decide, you’re welcome to test drive all available models at our dealership in Easley, SC.

Certification Process for a Certified Pre-Owned Honda

There are two types of Certified Pre-Owned Honda cars: HondaTrue Certified and HondaTrue Used. For a vehicle to qualify as HondaTrue Certified or HondaTrue Used, it must meet specific requirements. Generally, pre-owned Hondas must be less than six years old or have fewer than 80,000 miles on the odometer to qualify as HondaTrue Certified. There is no mileage limit on HondaTrue Used models, but they should be less than 10 years old.

Buyers can rest assured that a certified pre-owned Honda vehicle is reliable and in good condition. Each of these cars undergoes a thorough inspection by factory-trained technicians. HondaTrue Certified vehicles undergo a 182-point inspection, while HondaTrue Used vehicles must pass a 112-point inspection. All systems and components will also be tested to make sure they’re performing optimally.

Benefits of Buying a Certified Pre-Owned Honda

When you buy a CPO Honda, you get much more than just a lower price tag. You get manufacturer-backed quality and support. Honda’s certified pre-owned vehicles also come with the following benefits:

Comprehensive Warranty: Warranty coverage is available for both HondaTrue Certified and HondaTrue Used vehicles. HondaTrue Certified models are covered by a 7-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty. There is also a 2-year or 100,000-mile non-powertrain warranty, as well as two free oil changes for the first year. For HondaTrue Used models, there is a 100-day or 5,000-mile powertrain warranty and a 100-day or 5,000-mile non-powertrain warranty. One complimentary oil change is also provided during the first year of ownership.

Roadside Assistance: HondaTrue Certified models come with 24-hour roadside assistance for two years or 100,000 miles, while HondaTrue Used models are covered for 12 months or 12,000 miles. The roadside assistance coverage includes jump-starting your vehicles, fuel delivery, changing flat tires, and lockout services. Additionally, roadside assistance includes towing and collision recovery.

Each Certified Pre-Owned Honda vehicle comes with a CARFAX® Vehicle History Report. Using this report, you can review the vehicle’s service records, details about the previous owners, and the car’s involvement in any accidents.
