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 has cleared a strict set of standards before it reaches our lot in Ontario, so you can shop with peace of mind whether you live nearby in Montclair or are driving in from Fontana, Rancho Cucamonga, or Riverside.
To qualify as a Nissan Certified Pre-Owned vehicle, a Nissan must be less than six years old from its original in-service date, have fewer than 80,000 miles, and carry a clean, non-branded title. Those benchmarks are only the starting point — each candidate also has to pass inspection and review before it can wear the CPO badge.
Every Nissan CPO 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 is current on recalls and technical service bulletins. Any component that doesn’t meet Nissan’s standards is reconditioned or replaced with genuine Nissan parts before the vehicle is certified. That’s the difference between a standard used car and a certified one: the mechanical uncertainty is addressed before the keys reach you.
Confidence in the inspection is backed by coverage. Every Nissan CPO vehicle includes a 7-year / 100,000-mile limited powertrain warranty measured from the vehicle’s original in-service date, protecting major components like the engine, transmission, and drivetrain.
Included for the duration of the powertrain warranty.
To the nearest Nissan dealer if a covered component fails.
Helps keep you moving while a covered repair is completed.
Coverage can transfer to a future owner, supporting resale value.
Every Nissan we certify comes with a complimentary vehicle history report at no additional cost, so you can review past ownership, title status, and reported accident history before you buy. Some shoppers still choose an independent pre-purchase inspection for added reassurance — that’s always your option — but our technicians use manufacturer-specific tools and follow Nissan’s certification process, and the included history report removes much of the guesswork that comes with a typical used-car purchase. Once you’ve found a vehicle you’re confident in, you can prequalify for financing online to save time at the dealership.
A manufacturer-certified vehicle, like those in the Nissan CPO program, must meet standards set by Nissan and carries a warranty honored at any Nissan dealership nationwide. Dealer-certified cars often carry a warranty valid only at the selling location and may not follow the same 167-point inspection.
Yes. CPO vehicles are negotiable like any used car. Because they’ve been reconditioned and include a factory-backed warranty, their market value is typically higher than a comparable non-certified vehicle. We aim for transparent pricing on the added protection you’re getting.
The CPO powertrain warranty focuses on the engine, transmission, and drivetrain. It does not typically cover wear items like brake pads, wiper blades, or upholstery. Buyers who want broader coverage can ask about adding a Nissan extended protection plan at the time of purchase.
Policies can vary, so it’s best to confirm the specific terms with our team before you sign. To discuss details or schedule a test drive, contact our Ontario sales team.
