Why Lincoln Certified Pre-Owned Is Different
A Certified Pre-Owned Lincoln is not the same as a standard used vehicle. Only qualifying Lincolns can be
certified, and each one must meet strict requirements for age, mileage and condition. Once eligible, the vehicle
goes through a thorough inspection and reconditioning process before it earns Certified status.
For St. Louis luxury shoppers, this means you can purchase with greater peace of mind, knowing your vehicle has
been evaluated to manufacturer-level standards.
Comprehensive 200-Point Inspection & Reconditioning
Every Lincoln Certified Pre-Owned vehicle is evaluated through a detailed inspection performed by trained
technicians. This inspection focuses on key areas such as:
- Powertrain, drivetrain and performance systems
- Brakes, steering, suspension and tires
- Interior condition, comfort features and controls
- Exterior quality, lighting, glass and paint condition
- Safety systems and driver-assist technology
- Road-testing to verify real-world performance
Any item that does not meet certification requirements is addressed before the vehicle is approved as Lincoln
Certified.
Warranty Coverage & Roadside Assistance
Lincoln Certified Pre-Owned vehicles include extensive coverage designed to support long-term ownership. CPO
benefits typically include comprehensive limited warranty coverage, Lincoln Roadside Assistance, and additional
support features that help protect your investment and reduce surprises over time.
If you have questions about coverage specifics or what’s included on a particular Certified model, our team is
happy to walk through the details with you.
Vehicle History & Ownership Confidence
Lincoln CPO vehicles include a vehicle history report to help you understand ownership background and make an
informed decision. Combined with the inspection process, this creates a more confident path into premium
pre-owned ownership for St. Louis drivers who prioritize transparency.
