Nissan announced that they are expanding their Certified Pre-Owned program to cars that are up to 10 years old or have 100,000 miles. This is similar to what Honda/Acura did earlier this year.
Nissan's expanded service offering is different from what it offers for younger cars. Eligible cars receive 84-point inspections and a 6-month/6,000-mile limited warranty and roadside assistance. Plus, they get one complimentary maintenance visit in the first year of ownership.
In comparision, younger certified used Nissan vehicles receive a 167-point inspection, a 7-year/100,000-mile limited warranty, and two complimentary maintenance visits.
"As pre-owned vehicle sales continue to outpace those of new vehicles in the marketplace, Certified Select allows our trusted dealerships to offer more high-quality options for shoppers," said Dan Mohnke, vice president, eCommerce, Nissan U.S. "And we've further committed to customer satisfaction by offering a seamless online purchase option and a complimentary maintenance visit."
Additionally, the new Certified Select program includes certain non-Nissan vehicles for the first time. The list of brands covered and the coverage criteria weren't provided in the press release.
