HondaTrue Certified Used Vehicle Program

If you don’t want to shovel out money for a brand-new vehicle, you don’t have to settle for an old beater from a private seller. Instead, you can participate in the HondaTrue Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle Program through Ike Honda. Our team is committed to helping you find a reliable used vehicle so that you don’t have to break the bank for a reliable car, truck, or SUV. Below, you can learn what is HondaTrue Certified and how this program can benefit you.

What are the benefits of the HondaTrue Program?

The HondaTrue Program is beneficial for any buyer who wants to save money on their car payment. It’s particularly appealing to young and first-time buyers who want to be frugal with the initial purchases while still receiving reliable vehicles. All vehicles that are part of the HondaTrue Program meet rigorous requirements, so you don’t have to worry about purchasing a vehicle with unforeseen issues.

If you’re considering joining the HondaTrue Program, you can benefit from knowing that there are three tier levels available. This makes it easy for various buyers to join the club of Honda ownership. Plus, you can avoid the hardships of buying a used vehicle from an unverified source. Purchasing a used car that isn’t certified can result in higher financing rates, a higher risk for immediate repairs, and no warranty for you to count on when you need it most.

HondaTrue Used Tier

The HondaTrue Used is the first tier of the HondaTrue Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle Program. Participating vehicles must pass a background and quality check. A certified Honda technician performs these inspections and determines if the vehicle requires any maintenance or repairs. While they complete the inspections, the technicians complete a downloadable checklist that provides all the information regarding the 112-point inspection.

As long as the vehicle passes the inspection, the HondaTrue Used tier covers any Honda vehicle that’s up to 10 years old. There are no mileage limits for this tier, so the vehicle may have upwards of 100,000 miles or only a couple of thousand if it previously belonged to an elderly owner who didn’t drive very frequently. The coverage includes up to 100 days or 5,000 miles for both powertrain and non-powertrain components.

HondaTrue Certified Tier

Honda vehicles that were manufactured between 2017 and 2022 are eligible for the HondaTrue Certified tier. This tier level provides up to seven years or 100,000 miles of powertrain coverage. If you purchase the vehicle within its New Vehicle Limited Warranty period, you get to extend the New Vehicle Limited Warranty to four years of 48,000 miles of non-powertrain coverage. If you buy the vehicle after its New Vehicle Limited Warranty period, you get up to one year or 12,000 miles of non-powertrain coverage.

HondaTrue Certified+ Tier

Honda vehicles that were manufactured in 2021 or 2022 are eligible for the HondaTrue Certified+ tier. Like with the previous tier level, you get up to seven years or 100,000 miles of powertrain coverage. If you buy the vehicle within its New Vehicle Limited Warranty period, you get up to five years of 86,000 miles of non-powertrain coverage

Value your trade to make the most of the HondaTrue Program

If you have a current vehicle that you want to swap out for a certified pre-owned Honda, you can do so through our dealership at Ike Honda. You can first value your trade online and then visit us in person to finalize the deal. We always offer transparent quotes based on your vehicle’s condition and the current market conditions. Once you secure your trade, you can use the money you get to help finance your certified pre-owned vehicle. This can lower any monthly payments you have remaining and put you in a great financial position.

If you have additional questions about financing, be sure to visit our finance center. We can help you end your lease early or assist you with whatever else you need. For example, some customers come to us to discuss different loan term options. Others may ask us to calculate their estimated monthly payment depending on how much of a down payment they provide. We’re happy to assist in any way that you can so that you can get on the road in your certified pre-owned Honda with peace of mind.

Count on the dependability of Honda vehicles

Honda has always been a reliable auto manufacturer, and the HondaTrue Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle Program is a strong testament to dependability. The brand has a long history of producing vehicles in the U.S., as it has done so for nearly 40 years.

The brand also has SUVs like the Passport and the CR-V that have helped establish it as a dependable brand. These vehicles can really rack up the miles and still keep pressing on, and the HondaTrue Program assures you that your vehicle will last for the long term.
