Key Auto Certified Pre-Owned Program

The difference is Key.

The Key Auto Certified Pre-Owned Program is how we ensure the various used vehicles we sell meet the highest quality standards. You'll be purchasing a vehicle that's been thoroughly inspected, reconditioned, and backed by a warranty.

Vehicles that are a 2019 or newer model year with 65,000 miles or less, or a 2017 or newer model year with 80,000 miles or less qualify for certification.1

Vehicles undergo a 70-point inspection that covers the interior, exterior, lights, engine and other mechanical items, suspension, tires, exhaust, chassis, and brakes. Reconditioning is performed next, which includes an interior detail, leather treatment, exterior buffing, and, if needed, paint repair and ding removal.

Vehicles that are a 2019 or newer model year with 65,000 miles or less come with a no-charge, 6-month/6,000-mile limited powertrain warranty, while those 2017 or newer model year with 80,000 miles or less come with a no-charge, 30-day/1,000-mile limited powertrain warranty.2

Yes. As the owner of a Key Auto Certified Pre-Owned vehicle, you'll receive one complimentary oil change, service discounts, free New Hampshire state inspections for as long as you own the vehicle, and you'll become a member of our $100 referral program.3

The key differences with our certified pre-owned vehicles.

Only the newest models with limited miles.

Not every used vehicle can become certified by the Key Auto CPO Program. To qualify, the used vehicle must be from the last five model years (currently dating back to 2018) and have fewer than 65,000 miles on the odometer. There is a secondary certification level, as some Key Auto CPO models are from the last seven model years (currently dating back to 2016) than have been 80,000 miles or less.

A rigorous inspection.

Before becoming a certified pre-owned vehicle, the used car must undergo a thorough inspection covering 70 points. This will assess the used vehicle's mechanical condition and moving parts, including the engine, transmission, battery, chassis, suspension, exhaust, tires, brakes, and more. The interior, exterior, and lights are all inspected.

This 70-point inspection is performed by the professional technicians at our Key Auto facility in Salem, NH. A meticulous inspection is just one way we can ensure top-notch quality that Lowell, MA customers are looking for in a certified pre-owned vehicle.

Reconditioning also takes place to transform a used car into a certified pre-owned vehicle. This may include paint repair, dent and scratch removal, exterior buffing, and interior detailing.

Warranty coverage.

Warranties make all the difference for Wilmington customers purchasing a certified pre-owned vehicle with us in Salem, NH. The Key Auto Certified Pre-Owned Program provides a no-charge warranty to cover the certified pre-owned vehicle if select future repairs for powertrain components are needed.

The limited powertrain warranty lasts for six months or 6,000 miles - whichever comes first. This is for CPO vehicles from the last five model years falling under the 65,000-mile umbrella. Limited powertrain warranty coverage transitions to 30 days or 1,000 miles for Manchester used car buyers purchasing a certified pre-owned vehicle from the past seven model years.
