Buying certified pre-owned gives Inland Empire drivers the savings of a used vehicle with much of the confidence of a new one. Every Nissan Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) vehicle at Empire Nissan has cleared Nissan’s certification standards before it reaches our lot at 1377 Kettering Dr in the Ontario Auto Center, just off the 15 Freeway at Jurupa Street. Empire Nissan has served the Inland Empire since 1970, is a Nissan Award of Excellence recipient, and has a team that speaks more than seven languages, so you can shop with confidence whether you live nearby in Montclair or are driving in from Fontana, Rancho Cucamonga, Corona, Riverside, or San Bernardino.

Every Nissan Certified candidate goes through a 167-point inspection performed by Nissan-trained technicians. They examine the powertrain, chassis, interior, and exterior, complete a road test, and confirm the vehicle has no open recalls. Any component that doesn’t meet Nissan’s standards is reconditioned with Nissan-approved parts, and the vehicle must carry a clean, non-branded title. At delivery, you receive a copy of the signed inspection checklist along with your vehicle history report and warranty booklet.
Every Nissan Certified vehicle includes a 7-year/100,000-mile limited warranty measured from the vehicle’s original in-service date.[1][4] It covers more than 600 components, including the engine, transmission, and drivetrain, with a $100 deductible per repair visit.[5] Covered repairs are handled at authorized Nissan dealers nationwide, and the coverage can transfer to one subsequent private owner, which supports resale value.[4][5]
Flat-tire changes, jump-starts, fuel delivery, and lockout help for the length of the limited warranty, subject to per-occurrence limits.[1][5] Call 1-800-225-2476.[2]
To the nearest Nissan dealer if a covered component fails.[1][5]
Helps keep you moving while a covered repair is completed.[4]
Up to $500 toward meals, lodging, and alternate transportation if a covered breakdown happens more than 100 miles from home.[1][4]
Qualifying Nissan Certified purchases also include one year or 15,000 miles of prepaid maintenance, whichever comes first; ask our team for plan details.[4] For broader protection, the optional Security+Plus® CPO Wrap extends coverage to additional components beyond the limited warranty.[1][3]

Every Nissan we certify comes with a complimentary CARFAX® Vehicle History Report, so you can review past ownership, title status, and reported accident history before you buy. Our online listings display CARFAX details for each vehicle. Some shoppers still choose an independent pre-purchase inspection for added reassurance, and that’s always your option.

Many Nissan Certified vehicles are available with special rates for qualified buyers when financed through Nissan Motor Acceptance Company (NMAC). Applying your trade-in equity reduces the amount you finance, and you can prequalify online to save time at the dealership. To keep approval quick, bring a valid driver’s license, recent proof of income, proof of residence such as a utility bill, and your current auto insurance card.

A manufacturer-certified vehicle, like those in the Nissan CPO program, must meet standards set by Nissan and carries a limited warranty honored at authorized Nissan dealers nationwide. Dealer-certified programs are set by the individual dealership and may not follow Nissan’s 167-point inspection.
Yes. The Nissan Certified limited warranty can transfer to one subsequent private owner for the remainder of its term.
The CPO limited warranty focuses on major components such as the engine, transmission, and drivetrain. It does not cover wear items like brake pads, wiper blades, or upholstery. Buyers who want broader coverage can ask about the optional Security+Plus® CPO Wrap at the time of purchase.
