Nissan Certified Select Stretches CPO Program to 10-Year-Old Cars

Shoppers looking for a certified pre-owned Nissan will now have more options to choose from. The automaker has announced an expansion to its CPO program that includes higher-mileage vehicles up to 10 years old. The new program, called Certified Select, also covers certain non-Nissan vehicles for the first time. While the update offers added peace of mind when buying an older vehicle, shoppers should note that the program’s limited warranty is significantly truncated compared to the one for newer models.

Certified Select: What’s Included?

Previously, the brand’s CPO program only applied to used Nissan models up to 6 years old. The Certified Select program now covers used Nissan and some non-Nissan vehicles up to 10 years old with up to 100,000 miles on the odometer. Two key benefits of the program include an 84-point inspection and a six-month/6,000-mile limited warranty. The limited warranty covers any repairs that fall outside of the original manufacturer’s limited warranty for breakdowns related to the engine, transmission, transfer case, hybrid or electric vehicle components, drivetrain and replacement parts.

The program’s bonus perks include complimentary 24-hour roadside assistance, one complimentary maintenance visit in the first year of ownership, car rental reimbursement and a three-month complimentary trial of SiriusXM.

Nissan Certified: What’s Different?

Nissan’s standard Certified CPO program covers vehicles up to 6 years old with up to 80,000 miles and includes a notably longer seven-year/100,000-mile limited warranty. Nissan Certified cars also get a more robust 167-point inspection and a one-year complimentary maintenance plan that includes up to two oil and filter replacements and two tire rotations.

The Common Denominators

Shoppers can search for both Certified and Certified Select vehicles online via the Nissan At Home tool, which enables browsing, scheduling test drives and completing the purchase online. A participating dealer can then deliver the vehicle to the shopper’s home. Additionally, the limited warranties for each CPO category are transferable from the original shopper to one private party owner for the duration of the warranty term.
