Toyota Certified Used Vehicles Program
Quality, durability, and innovation. That’s what sets the Toyota brand apart. Look at any list of cars that retain their value the best, and you’ll find the list packed full of Toyotas, from best sellers like the Toyota RAV4 to off-road bullies like the Toyota 4Runner. The Toyota brand is synonymous with longevity, boasting powertrains you can trust for hundreds of thousands of miles. That’s the foundation of the Toyota Certified Used Vehicles (TCUV) program. Launched in 1996, TCUV allows drivers to access the savings of a used car while driving a car that feels brand new. These refurbished vehicles come with a range of benefits, including extended Toyota warranties, ensuring you trust the car you drive implicitly. These days, the TCUV program has adopted two different forms: TCUV Silver Certified and TCUV Gold Certified. In the sections below, we’ll preview everything you need to know about the TCUV program at Toyota of Bozeman. Visit us to find a used Toyota that feels new today!
TCUV Gold Certified
As the name suggests, the Gold Certified Program is the premium certification program, offering a range of benefits. Qualifying models can be up to 6 years old and have 85,000 miles or fewer on the odometer. Before qualifying, Gold models must pass a stringent quality-assurance inspection to ensure they look and feel brand-new. Other benefits to buying a TCUV Gold Toyota include:
- 12 months or 12,000 miles of limited comprehensive warranty protection
- 7 years or 100,000 miles of limited powertrain warranty protection
- 7 years or 100,000 miles of 24-hour roadside assistance
- Extended warranty coverage is transferable for no cost
- Free CarFax vehicle history report
Buying a TCUV Gold vehicle means you access a warranty program honored at over 1,400 dealerships across North America, ensuring you’re protected no matter where your road takes you. Trade-ins are accepted when you purchase, with standard new-car financing rates available with trouble-free paperwork.
TCUV Silver Certified
The TCUV Silver plan doesn’t mean these Toyotas are worse than the Gold models; they still go through a meticulous quality assurance inspection, but the age threshold is expanded to allow more models to qualify. The Silver Program accepts models up to 10 years old, with between 60,000 to 125,000 miles on the odometer. TCUV Silver Toyotas come with the following benefits:
- 12 months or 12,000 miles of limited powertrain warranty protection
- 12 months or 12,000 miles of 24-hour roadside assistance
- Extended warranty coverage is transferable for no cost
- Free CarFax vehicle history report
Of course, these vehicles offer an even more affordable entry point to Toyota ownership, though they do not come with as much warranty protection as the Gold program. Even still, the warranty is honored at all Toyota dealerships in the USA and Canada, and new car financing rates are also available with trade-ins accepted and trouble-free paperwork.
