For those who may not be able to afford a new Nissan, but want to be behind the wheel of a reliable, sound vehicle a CPO sold by Nissan comes with the uncompromised standards of a brand new Nissan. To qualify for the CPO program, a Nissan must be less than five years old and have less than 60,000 miles on the odometer.
Nissan Certification Standards & Inspection
In addition to the rigorous Nissan quality regulations, each Nissan CPO is guaranteed to be a well-maintained, late-model Nissan. Nissan trained technicians put every CPO vehicle through a 145-point mechanical and cosmetic inspection and a Title Guard + Plus review.
A Nissan CPO vehicle inspection includes, but is not necessarily limited to:
- Road Test- This checks the vehicles history, safety campaigns, owners manual, seat belts, air bags, mirrors, lights, gauges, engine operation and performance, transmission, clutch, braking system, traction control, steering wheel and alignment, body and chassis integrity, HVAC, horn, speedometer and odometer, windshield wipers, cruise control and transfer case.
- Functional-Doors, locks, seats and child seating, interior and exterior lights, all knobs and release levers, windows, alarm system, navigation and audio system, ONSTAR (if applicable), keys, luggage compartment to include spare tire and tools, convertible or sunroof (if applicable) and options and accessories.

Financing a Nissan CPO Vehicle
When financing any vehicle, the buyer has a few options. A bank, credit union, or online finance company can help you with the financing. However, Nissan CPO vehicle financing is comparable to new car terms and finance rates. Nissan offers APR specials and incentives; therefore Nissan CPO vehicle owners are eligible for the same low interest rates and longer terms as new car owners.
