Every Toyota Certified Used Vehicle must pass a multi-point inspection and a CARFAX® history review. Toyota dealer-trained technicians then complete any needed repairs and reconditioning. Toyota’s 160-point checklist covers:
A certified Toyota costs less than new, so your monthly payment and insurance can be lower, and you skip the steepest part of a new vehicle’s depreciation.
Your budget can stretch to a higher trim with the options already installed, like a Highlander XLE instead of an LE or a Tacoma TRD instead of a base model.
Certified coverage is a smart fit for a first car for a new driver, a second family vehicle, or a daily commuter you’ll rely on every day.
