INFINITI Certified Pre-Owned Guide: What’s Included | CPO Benefits
INFINITI Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) vehicles are pre-owned vehicles that have been thoroughly inspected, detailed, and backed by an extended warranty. A CPO INFINITI represents a commitment to quality and reliability that bridges the gap between new and used ownership.
If you’re considering a pre-owned INFINITI, understanding what’s included in the CPO program protects your investment and ensures you know exactly what you’re getting.
What Makes a Vehicle “Certified Pre-Owned”?
Not every pre-owned INFINITI is certified. To earn CPO status, a vehicle must:
- Be no older than a specific model year (typically 5-6 years old at maximum)
- Have fewer than 80,000 miles
- Pass a comprehensive multi-point inspection
- Have a clean title and accident history
- Be detailed thoroughly (interior and exterior)
- Receive any needed repairs using OEM parts
This process ensures that only vehicles meeting strict quality standards earn the CPO badge.
INFINITI CPO Warranty Coverage
Powertrain Limited Warranty: 6 years, 100,000 miles
Bumper-to-Bumper Limited Warranty: Available on select CPO vehicles
Roadside Assistance: 24/7 support for breakdowns, lockouts, flat tires, and towing
Trip Interruption Reimbursement: Coverage for hotel and meal costs if vehicle breaks down away from home
The powertrain warranty covers your engine, transmission, drivetrain, and suspension components. It kicks in after the original manufacturer’s warranty expires, extending your total coverage significantly.
The 155-Point Inspection
Every INFINITI CPO vehicle receives an exhaustive inspection covering:
- Engine and emissions: Computer diagnostics, leak checks, fluid condition assessment
- Transmission: Fluid condition, shift quality, cooler integrity
- Suspension and steering: Ball joints, tie rods, control arms, alignment
- Brakes: Pad thickness, rotor condition, fluid quality
- Electrical: Battery, alternator, starter, all warning lights
- Climate control: Air conditioning function, heater operation, refrigerant levels
- Interior systems: Windows, locks, seat operations, dashboard electronics
- Exterior: Paint condition, trim integrity, window and seal condition
This inspection identifies issues before you take ownership. Any problems found either get fixed or disclosed clearly before purchase.
Service Guarantees Included
Complimentary Oil Changes
Most INFINITI CPO programs include one free oil change and filter replacement after purchase.
Brake Inspection
A complimentary brake inspection within the first 12 months of CPO ownership ensures your brakes are performing safely.
Tire Rotation
Complimentary tire rotations are included for a specified period, usually the first year of ownership.
Warranty Transferability
INFINITI CPO warranties transfer to subsequent owners if you sell the vehicle, which increases resale value. The next owner gets the remaining warranty coverage.
CPO vs. Standard Used Vehicle: The Real Difference
Standard Used Vehicle: As-is condition, no warranty, unknown service history, potential hidden problems.
CPO Vehicle: Thoroughly inspected, extended warranty, professional detailing, fixed any issues, clear service documentation.
The CPO premium (typically $500-$2,000 more than a non-certified equivalent) is justified by the warranty, inspection, and service guarantees. You’re not just buying a vehicle. You’re buying peace of mind.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much more do CPO vehicles cost than regular used vehicles?
Typically $500-$2,000 more, depending on the vehicle and market conditions. That premium covers the warranty, inspection, reconditioning, and service guarantees. It’s a worthwhile investment for peace of mind.
What if a problem appears after I buy the CPO vehicle?
The powertrain warranty (6 years, 100,000 miles) covers mechanical failures in engine, transmission, and drivetrain. Other components may be covered if you purchased extended coverage. Call us at (210) 477-1775 immediately if issues arise.
Can I transfer the CPO warranty if I sell the vehicle?
Yes. The remaining warranty transfers to the next owner, which increases resale value. This is one of the significant advantages of buying CPO.
What’s not covered by the CPO warranty?
Wear items like tires, brakes, wiper blades, and filters aren’t covered. Damage from accidents, misuse, or lack of maintenance is excluded. Cosmetic issues are also excluded.
Should I buy CPO or a new INFINITI?
CPO makes sense if you want to save $5,000-$15,000 off MSRP and accept a pre-owned vehicle with mileage. New makes sense if you want to control exact specifications and have unlimited warranty coverage from day one. Call us at (210) 477-1775 to compare options.
