Buying a Certified Pre-Owned Honda FAQ

In order to earn the tag of certified pre-owned, a Honda model must meet certain requirements set by the manufacturer. These requirements involve the condition of the vehicle, the details of its previous ownership, its maintenance and service record, as well as its general information.

Based on the manufacturer, the requirements for each vehicle make will vary. For a Honda model, you’ll find that it becomes certified pre-owned by being less than six years old, having fewer than 80,000 miles, and passing a rigorous 182-point inspection.

Yes, as long as it meets the model requirements and its condition passes the inspection performed by factory-trained technicians, it can become CPO.

At Honda dealerships like ours, you can shop a varied inventory of certified pre-owned Honda models. You can shop these inventories either in person or online. If you’re shopping online, you can effortlessly filter our inventory to show only CPO listings. You can then filter even further to find specific CPO models as well as those with certain features, colors, trims, transmissions, and more.

With a CPO vehicle, you should look out for the same details and documentation that you’d want with a standard used car. To start, you’ll want to make sure a vehicle history report as well as its title are included.

Next, you’ll want to ensure that your CPO Honda features a detailed service and maintenance record. This’ll usually come as part of the vehicle history report.

You can be confident about the quality of a CPO Honda. Since it has to pass an inspection just to earn the CPO title, you can be sure that it’s of the highest possible condition and quality.

There’s a long list of benefits that come with buying a CPO Honda. The very first is the CARFAX Vehicle History Report™ that comes with each CPO model.

From there, other available CPO benefits include:

• Powertrain & Non-Powertrain Limited Warranty Coverage
• Roadside Assistance
• Complimentary Oil Changes
• SiriusXM® Satellite Radio
• Concierge Service

You can always ask a sales associate to tell you more about the benefits that come with a specific certified pre-owned model.
