Certified Pre-Owned Inspection and Warranty
What Inspection Do Certified Pre-Owned Subaru Vehicles Undergo?
Every Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) Subaru at Herb Gordon Subaru must pass a 152-point inspection covering the engine, transmission, brakes, tires, interior, and infotainment system. Our technicians repair or replace anything below manufacturer standards, and a used Subaru that cannot pass is not eligible for CPO status.

Yes. A vehicle must be no more than five years old, have fewer than 80,000 miles, and carry no major accident history to qualify for Subaru CPO certification.
What Warranty Coverage Comes Standard with a Certified Pre-Owned Subaru?
Every Certified Pre-Owned Subaru vehicle we sell includes a factory-backed seven-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty with a $0 deductible, covering the engine, transmission, and all-wheel-drive system. Coverage is measured from the original in-service date.
