Common Questions

What is a certified pre-owned Honda?

In most cases, certified pre-owned cars are late-model, low-mileage vehicles in excellent condition that have been acquired as lease returns or traded in. This vehicle will undergo a multi-point inspection to ensure its safety and efficiency. A factory-trained technician will inspect the vehicle for any issues and replace any damaged parts. Only after ensuring the vehicle is in impeccable shape will it be included in the Honda Certified Pre-Owned program.

As part of the program, pre-owned vehicles are guaranteed to be in good condition and are backed by the manufacturer's warranty, although details vary depending on the model. Buying a certified pre-owned vehicle reduces your risk of driving away with a lemon.

What is the Honda Certified Pre-Owned Program?

Honda's Certified Pre-Owned program is divided into two categories: HondaTrue® Certified and HondaTrue Used. HondaTrue Certified vehicles must be under six years old and have fewer than 80,000 miles on them. HondaTrue Used vehicles, on the other hand, have no mileage limit as long as they are less than 10 years old. All HondaTrue Certified and HondaTrue Used vehicles undergo multi-point inspections and include a clean CARFAX history report. Additionally, each comes with a different warranty.
