Deciding between a new and a used car can be tough. Many drivers like the assurances that come with a brand-new car. They can feel confident that it hasn’t been in any accidents, has no miles on it, and has all new parts. Plus, new cars tend to come with extensive warranties that instill a sense of confidence in the buyer. On the other hand, buying a used car can mean seeing significant savings. Sometimes, it can feel unfair to choose between the confidence you get with a new car and the discounts found in a used car. Luckily, when you find a certified Nissan for sale, you don’t have to choose between one and the other.
Nissan’s and Newton’s certification programs deliver much of the same peace of mind you get when buying a brand-new Nissan. Any car that is a part of these programs holds up to high and rigid standards of quality and has undergone extensive inspections. The mystery that comes with buying a used car goes away when you get a certified Nissan, so you can enjoy the peace of mind that you would traditionally get with a new car, along with the savings associated with a used one. Here at Newton Nissan South, we proudly carry an extensive lineup of certified Nissans. Come check out our selection––you’ll be amazed at how many great Nissan models are available through a certified program.
Typically, when you see those three little letters C-P-O in front of a vehicle, it means that the car has undergone a thorough and standardized inspection and received upgrades and repairs to prepare it for resale. Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) vehicles often come with warranties, too. Nissan’s specific CPO program is special and has two levels of certification: Nissan Certified and Certified Select. The two share some major similarities, including a CARFAX report, guaranteed trade-in, and 24/7 roadside assistance for the duration of their respective warranties. Then there are some important differences between the two, as listed below:
Standard Nissan certification is only available on eligible Nissan models. Eligible vehicles must be no more than six years old and have no more than 80,000 miles on them. Eligible vehicles will enjoy a seven-year or 100,000-mile limited warranty (whichever comes first), as well as 24/7 roadside assistance. Nissan Certified vehicles undergo a 167-point inspection process before being listed for sale and come with a CARFAX vehicle history report. Additionally, these CPO vehicles come with one year of pre-paid maintenance.
The Certified Select program is available to both eligible Nissan vehicles as well as eligible non-Nissan models. Eligible vehicles are ten years old or newer and have under 100,000 miles on them. These vehicles undergo an 84-point inspection process and are paired with a six-month or 6,000-mile (whichever comes first) limited warranty. Certified Select vehicles also enjoy 24/7 roadside assistance and get a CARFAX vehicle history report. One maintenance visit is covered under the Certified Select program.

Newton Nissan South offers its own CPO program, and every vehicle donning the Newton CPO badge has undergone extensive inspections and held up to a high standard. First off, our factory-trained technicians perform a 170-point inspection. During this inspection, they look at several important elements, including the frame, airbags, tires, wheels, engine, electric system, suspension, and steering. If anything is found to be not up to our standard, we will replace or repair it. We are always honest with customers and inform them of the true and accurate condition of a vehicle and any repairs we made to it so that you can make an informed decision.
In addition to putting in extensive work to inspect and restore every vehicle that is a part of our CPO program, we also offer other assurances. Each Newton CPO vehicle gets a seven-year or 100,000-mile limited warranty, and an extended protection plan can be purchased for an additional cost. You will receive a CARFAX vehicle history report so you understand the background of your vehicle. As a perk, we include a three-month trial subscription to SiriusXM Satellite Radio.
We don’t want drivers to have to choose between an excellent car and an excellent price. We believe that through our special CPO program, they don’t have to. Between Nissan’s and Newton’s CPO programs, there are many ways drivers can get behind the wheel of a pre-owned Nissan with the confidence that their car is in good condition and backed by a generous warranty.
