FAIRFAX, Va.-- Beginning May 1, 2006, every Lexus dealer will be required to run a Carfax Vehicle History Report on all vehicles submitted for certification. In addition to meeting Lexus' quality standards, each vehicle must qualify for the Carfax Buyback Guarantee.
The program requires every Certified Lexus vehicle to undergo a rigorous 161-plus point inspection performed by Lexus trained technicians to ensure they meet Lexus' strict mechanical and performance specifications. After passing this inspection, each certified vehicle is covered by a Lexus-backed 3 years/100,000 total vehicle mile warranty.
Free Carfax Vehicle History Reports come with every Lexus Certified Pre-owned vehicle and can be viewed on many online marketplaces such as AutoTrader.com and cars.com.
"By selecting the most comprehensive vehicle history service available in the market today, our partnership with Carfax gives our Certified Pre-owned buyers the added peace of mind to know they are truly driving the best of the best,” said Marv Ingram, national certified pre-owned/fleet manager for Lexus in a statement.
