Before buying a certified pre-owned vehicle, check out this explanation of the certified pre-owned program offered by Scion. This explains the warranty program for the manufacturer; how old the certified pre-owned vehicles are, and other benefits you can expect from the manufacturer’s certified pre-owned program.

All Scion models are eligible, but before a pre-owned vehicle is even considered for the certification process it must have less than 85,000 miles on its odometer and only be the current model or six years back. That’s a fairly healthy mileage limit.

To be a certified Scion, a vehicle must pass a 160-point quality assurance inspection.

All Scion certified pre-owned vehicles are:

  • backed by a 3-month/3,000-mile comprehensive warranty;
  • a 7-year/100,000-mile limited powertrain warranty
  • 7-year/100,000-mile roadside assistance plan from the original date of first use when sold as new.

See the Scion website for complete warranty information.
