What Is a Nissan Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle?
A certified pre-owned Nissan vehicle is a model that has been previously loved but still operates like day one, thanks to certain requirements of the brand.
Below, we've outlined the three tiers of the Nissan certified pre-owned program. For the full details, get in touch with us at Lorenzo Nissan Ft. Lauderdale near Davie, FL.
Nissan Certified Vehicles
The Nissan Certified Vehicles tier is the most comprehensive. These models undergo a 167-point inspection, are less than six years old, and have no more than 80,000 miles on the odometer.
They come with a CARFAX® Vehicle History Report™, a seven-year/100,000-mile Limited Warranty,1 prepaid maintenance for the first year or first 15,000 miles,2 and Roadside Assistance for the duration of the warranty.3
EV Certified Vehicles
The EV Certified Vehicles program is for electric models only. They are subject to a 139-point inspection, but otherwise share the same requirements and perks as the previous tier.
Certified Select Vehicles
Certified Select Vehicles offer more leeway. These cars go through an 84-point inspection, are less than 10 years old, and have no more than 100,000 miles. Various makes and models can be included in this category.
Nissan vehicles receive one complimentary maintenance visit for the first year or first 15,000 miles,2 while non-Nissan models receive a reimbursement for the same duration.2 A 12-month/12,000-mile Limited Warranty1 is included, as are a CARFAX® Vehicle History Report™ and Roadside Assistance for the length of the warranty.3

Is a certified pre-owned warranty transferable to the car's next owner?
Typically, a certified pre-owned warranty is transferable to the car's next owner. For the Nissan brand, the warranty can only be transferred to one subsequent private owner, as long as the Limited Warranty is still active.1 Keep in mind that the warranty coverage varies based on the certified pre-owned tier.

Certified Pre-Owned Nissan Customer Reviews
"I recently purchased a Certified Pre-Owned 2023 Nissan Ariya, and I can honestly say the team at Lorenzo Nissan has earned a customer for life. Emmanuel, Hassan and his finance team, as well as John from Parts made the entire experience insanely smooth, easy, and genuinely enjoyable — none of the usual car-dealership nonsense or pressure tactics, just real professionalism, kindness, and respect.!
Emmanuel was phenomenal from start to finish. He was attentive, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable, making sure we had everything we needed and understood every step. He even personally connected me with John in Parts so I could purchase a NACS adapter. John was equally impressive — extremely helpful, kind, polite, and genuinely invested in making sure I left with exactly what I needed. The finance guy (wish I caught his name!) was also excellent — efficient, transparent, and remarkably easy to work with.
I’m honestly shocked — in the best way — at how seamless and comfortable this entire process was. This is exactly how purchasing a vehicle should be. If you’re looking for a dealership that treats you like a human being, respects your time, and actually cares about your experience, THIS is the place.
Whether you’re buying new or used, I cannot recommend Emmanuel., truly 10/10.
They’ve earned my trust and my business for life."

I went into the dealership later on a Sunday afternoon. Probably around 430. They "close" at 6. Ashley took note of what I wanted and what was most important. Showed me multiple certified pre owned as well as a few new. Found a nice new Nissan that checked all the boxes. The paper work took longer than their posted hours. But the team was happy to stay! 10/10 Ask for Ashley if your in the need of new or pre-owned!!!
Bought a very nice certified Nissan Altima SR! I’m very happy with the sales person AJ….he didn’t mess around and found me the car I was looking for!! The staff was great from finance to everyone I encountered. Also, the dealership was clean and very nice overall.
