What Is GM Certified?
To even be considered for the GM Certified program, a vehicle must be 2003 model year or newer, with fewer than 75,000 miles. They're vehicles that met our tough standards when we first built them. Now they have to again, or they won't be certified.
GM Certified Used Vehicles are only available through select GM dealers, and all feature:

100,000-Mile/5-Year Powertrain Limited Warranty*
Now, when you purchase a 2003 through 2008 model year GM Certified Used Vehicle, it comes with a transferable 100,000-Mile/5-Year Powertrain Limited Warranty with no deductible. It's a whole new level of value, confidence and protection.
· Transferable to subsequent owners
· $0 deductible

*Whichever comes first from original in-service date. Some 2004/03 models will not be eligible based on their in-service date. See your dealer for limited warranty details.

We've Extended Our Warranty!  Now get 12-Month/12,000-Mile Bumper-to-Bumper Limited Warranty*
Protects you beginning the minute you leave the lot. This is comprehensive bumper-to-bumper coverage on top of the 5-year/100,000 mile powertrain warranty. It's not just further protection for your car, but for your peace of mind, too.
*Whichever comes first 

117-Point Inspection
All GM Certified Used Vehicles must undergo our rigorous 117-Point inspection process. Conducted by GM-trained technicians, each inspection is required to adhere to strict, factory-set standards to ensure that every vehicle's engine, chassis and body is in excellent condition.
