What is the difference between used and Toyota Certified Used Vehicles?

Toyota Certified Used Vehicles (TCUV) come with many perks that non-certified vehicles simply don’t offer.

TCUV’s also come with a standard 12 month/12,000 mile comprehensive warranty, a 7 year/100,000 limited powertrain warranty and 1 year of complimentary roadside assistance.
