I bought a certified used 2006 FJ cruiser in 2008. After about a week I heard some grinding noise in the right rear, followed shortly by some clanking and rattling sounds as bolts and pieces fell off. Brought it to the closest dealer to my work (not where I bought it) and they told me I should return the vehicle to where I bought it and get my money back. Turned out the truck had been in a major rear end collision and the owner decided to get it fixed (cheaply) by a 3rd party and then traded it in. I specifically asked if it had been in any accidents and the salesman said no. When confronted with new evidence, they claimed they would have no idea on the sales floor and the other dealership did me a disservice by disclosing the accident.
Anyway, the 2nd dealer (not where i bought it) fought for me with the rep and got it all fixed under warranty. Needed a complete rear end. Toyota USA would do nothing for me and told me I had to work it out with the dealer. CPO is a joke and you are much better off checking it out thoroughly yourself first, and at the very least demand to see the service history if you buy CPO. |

The key word is "value". Value = how much someone is willing to spend to buy it.
