All
Scion
certified pre-owned vehicles have
been repaired or reconditioned to meet Scion's exacting standards.
Factory-trained Scion technicians do all the work on the Scion cars to
ensure
the quality and reliability of the Scion name. Only those used Scion
vehicles
that are younger than six years old and have less than 85,000 miles will
be
considered for certified status. Each one must pass a rigorous 160-point
quality assurance inspection.
160
point inspection
As part of
this inspection process
the entire vehicle is checked over. The areas covered in this check
are:
- Emissions and state
inspections
- Frame, structure and
underbody
- Engine compartment
- Battery system
- Engine Coolant and HVAC
system
- Braking System
- Transmission and transaxle
- Steering system
- Tires & suspension
system
- Interior and Exterior
condition and appearance
- Lighting and electrical
systems, including audio
- Instrument panel and
electronics
Another
aspect to this inspection is
the vehicle history. Scion runs a full CARFAX vehicle history report and
checks
for outstanding special service campaigns. The vehicle history report is
available at the time of purchase for the buyer to see and it can be
very
detailed depending on the vehicle. Some of the information in the report
will
say how many previous owners there were and how the vehicle was used
(private
party, lease or a taxi, for example). Other valuable information
includes
information on whether the vehicle was involved in a major accident,
flood or
fire.
