FAQs - What Questions People Ask About Certified Pre-Owned Hondas

What is a certified pre-owned Honda?

Certified pre-owned cars are usually lease returns or trade-ins of late-model, low-mileage pre-owned cars in excellent condition. These vehicles undergo a multi-point inspection to ensure safety and efficiency. A factory-trained technician will also check for areas that need repair and parts that need replacement. The vehicle will be included in the Honda Certified Pre-Owned Program.

In the program, pre-owned vehicles are guaranteed to be in good condition and backed by the manufacturer's warranty, but the details differ from model to model. If you purchase a certified pre-owned car, you are less likely to drive away with a lemon.

What is the Honda Certified Pre-Owned Program?

The program has two categories: HondaTrue Certified and HondaTrue Used. HondaTrue Certified vehicles must be under six years old and have less than 80,000 miles. Meanwhile, there's no mileage limit for a HondaTrue Used vehicle as long as it's less than 10 years old. HondaTrue Certified and HondaTrue Used vehicles must pass multi-point inspections and have a clean CARFAX vehicle history report. They also come with different sets of warranties.
