What Makes a Cadillac Certified Pre-Owned?

Not every used Cadillac car qualifies as a Certified Pre-Owned vehicle. Cadillac’s certification process begins by setting strict eligibility requirements. Each vehicle must be:

• A recent model year with no more than 75,000 miles
• Within the original warranty coverage period
• In excellent condition, both mechanically and cosmetically
• Accompanied by a clean vehicle history report and Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) check

Only once a vehicle passes these initial filters does it move on to Cadillac’s rigorous 172-point inspection.

172-Point Inspection: What Gets Checked?

At Scott Cadillac, trained technicians examine every certified vehicle using Cadillac’s detailed checklist. This inspection covers everything from engine performance to interior details. Here's a look at what’s included:

Mechanical and Appearance Standards

• Engine, transmission, and drivetrain systems are tested for optimal performance.
• Brakes, suspension, and steering components are checked for wear and reliability.
• Exterior paint, body panels, glass, and tires are evaluated for any damage or wear.
• Interior materials, controls, and electronics are inspected for proper functionality.

Each Cadillac must meet or exceed the brand’s high standards for both safety and luxury. Any part that doesn’t pass is repaired or replaced using Cadillac Genuine Parts before the vehicle can be certified.

Comprehensive Warranty Coverage

A Certified Pre-Owned Cadillac includes two levels of limited warranty coverage for added protection:

Original Bumper-to-Bumper Warranty

If the original Bumper Warranty is still in effect, it transfers to you. This means you'll benefit from the remaining time and mileage of Cadillac’s original factory warranty.

Certified Pre-Owned Limited Warranty

Once the original warranty expires, your Certified purchase comes with an additional year of limited warranty coverage, or up to 6 years/100,000 miles from the original in-service date, whichever comes first. This provides extensive protection throughout the duration of vehicle ownership.

24-Hour Roadside Assistance and Courtesy Transportation

Every Certified Pre-Owned Cadillac includes six years or 100,000 miles of 24-hour roadside assistance. Whether it’s a flat tire, a dead battery, or you locked your keys inside, help is always just a call away. If your Cadillac ever needs service, Courtesy Transportation ensures you won’t be stranded. You’ll get a loaner vehicle or shuttle service while repairs are completed.
