The best way to get the full Honda experience is with a new model. But if that is not in the cards, the certified pre-owned(CPO) selection at your Honda dealership in Columbia, MO is a solid option. Let’s explain why we think certified pre-owned benefits are hard to pass up.

1. Only the Best Make the Cut

A vehicle has to meet certain requirements to get into Honda’s certified pre-owned program. As of 2025, they are taking vehicles from 2020 and newer, which means you’re looking at cars that are up to 5 years old. Given Honda’s build quality, these vehicles still have plenty of life ahead of them and all the modern features you could want.

Mileage and service history also play a big role. Right now, the requirement is that the vehicle must have been on the road for at least 12 months or driven 12,000 miles since it was first sold or leased, with no more than 80,000 miles at the time of delivery to the customer.

2. Thorough Multi-Point Inspection

If a vehicle clears the age and mileage hurdles, it receives a thorough check-up, with every inch of the car inspected by Honda-certified technicians. This inspection covers everything from the engine and brakes to interior lights. A downloadable report is provided, so you can see what was checked and any fixes made.

It’s worth noting that Honda’s 182-point inspection is one of the most comprehensive in the industry, surpassing Toyota’s 160, Nissan’s 167, and Chevrolet’s 172.

3. Warranty

Honda stands behind its certified pre-owned vehicles with a warranty, not just words. Coverage for the powertrain lasts for 7 years or 100,000 miles, while everything else is covered for an extra two years or up to 100,000 miles.

4. Extra Perks

A Honda CPO vehicle will draw you in with its value, but it’s the extra perks that seal the deal. They include free roadside assistance for the duration of your warranty, two complimentary oil changes within one year/12,000 miles, a three-day exchange policy (which allows you to exchange your purchased car for another Honda CPO vehicle), and trip interruption benefits.
