HondaTrue Certified
The top tier of Honda’s certified pre-owned programs, HondaTrue Certified, makes us wonder why anyone would buy a new Honda when purchasing a lightly used model comes with such a great package of benefits.
HondaTrue Certified used cars have passed a 182-point inspection. They have been in service for more than 12 months and have more than 12,000 miles on the odometer, but they have accumulated fewer than 80,000 miles in their first five years.
Not only that, the HondaTrue Certified cars come with a limited warranty that runs two years from the end of the New Vehicle Limited Warranty or 100,000 miles total. The Certified powertrain warranty lasts seven years or 100,000 miles (whichever comes first) from the original sale, boosting the new powertrain warranty of five years or 60,000 miles. Dealers will change the oil in a HondaTrue Certified vehicle up to two times during the first year or 12,000 miles of ownership (whichever comes first).
HondaTrue Used
Though not technically a certified pre-owned program, the HondaTrue Used category includes Honda vehicles from model years 2015 to 2025 with no mileage cap. They receive a 100-day or 5,000-mile limited and powertrain warranty and one complimentary oil change within the first year of ownership.
Shared Benefits
The HondaTrue vehicles all get Roadside Assistance (two years or up to 100,000 total miles for Certified and one year or 12,000 miles for Used). Honda has a 3-day exchange policy for HondaTrue vehicles, allowing buyers to exchange a car in the same condition it was sold with fewer than 300 new miles. The company includes trip interruption and concierge service during the limited warranty, and there’s a $0 deductible for covered repairs. SiriusXM offers a 90-day free trial of its services with a HondaTrue purchase.
