Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Can all Toyotas be Certified?
A. No. First, the Toyota must have less than 85,000 miles on the odometer, and can only be the current model year or six model years back. Additionally, the vehicle must have a CARFAX Vehicle History Report run on it, and it must pass a comprehensive 160-point mechanical and appearance Quality Assurance Inspection. These requirements ensure that only the best of the best are used for Toyota Certification.
Q. Where can I purchase a Toyota Certified Used Vehicle?
A. Toyota Certified Used Vehicles are available exclusively from your Toyota dealers.
Q. What is a Vehicle History Report and how does it work?
A. Currently, Vehicle History Reports (VHR) are available to auto auctions, dealers and the general public, and are highly recommended for anyone in the market to purchase a used vehicle. At Toyota, we go a step further by requiring a CARFAX VHR [4] be run on each Toyota before it can become a Certified Used Vehicle. With a CARFAX VHR, we can tell if a vehicle has had any reported major structural damage, been previously declared a total loss or has any reported odometer discrepancies. The CARFAX VHR also helps to protect the integrity of the Toyota Certified process by disqualifying any vehicle that does not meet our high standards. Go to CARFAX.com for more details.
