Benefits of Buying L/Certified Pre-Owned
There are times in life when buying a pre-owned vehicle makes absolutely the most sense for you or your family. The acclaimed L/Certified pre-owned vehicle program from Lexus takes the stress out of choosing a pre-owned vehicle and puts the proven performance, luxury, and reliability of a Lexus in your hands. At Eskridge Lexus of Oklahoma City, we appreciate the times for pre-owned vehicles, and we want to help you find the best possible choice with an L/Certified pre-owned vehicle you know will have the legendary quality of Lexus.
L/Certified Means a Safe and Reliable Vehicle

People fear the unknown for good reason. Hidden problems in a vehicle can turn into a nightmare of lost time and money. That’s why Lexus sets such high standards for any L/Certified pre-owned vehicle. Only late models with low mileage are considered, and each vehicle must have a passing CARFAX report before moving on to a team of trained Lexus master technicians. Once cleaned and inspected, only genuine Lexus parts are used for needed repairs or reconditioning. You can be sure that L/Certified pre-owned vehicles are examined and understood from top to bottom, both inside and out.
161-Point Inspection
When buying a pre-owned vehicle, you want to know it’s been looked at closely by experts who know where to look and what to look for. With any L/Certified pre-owned vehicle, you can trust it’s had a comprehensive 161-point inspection done by the right people with the right tools. The Lexus 161-point inspection uses advanced diagnostics to make sure every driving system is up to high Lexus standards, from things as important as major safety features to the tiniest electronic details of systems like climate control, audio, and navigation. The L/Certified inspection covers it all.
L/Certified Means a Proven Vehicle
Not every vehicle that comes through Eskridge Lexus of Oklahoma City qualifies for classification as an L/Certified pre-owned vehicle. But once one has, you can be sure that it meets the highest of pre-owned standards. We are so sure you will love your L/Certified pre-owned vehicle and want to drive it for years that we can confidently offer you a time of complimentary maintenance to help keep it in excellent shape.
Complimentary Scheduled Maintenance
Any kind of motorized vehicle, from dirt bikes to fighter jets, needs regular maintenance to operate at its very best. This need for routine care is true for the sophisticated technology that’s built into every Lexus as well. When you purchase or lease an L/Certified pre-owned vehicle, we want it to run great and keep you safe. That’s why every one comes with complimentary factory-recommended maintenance, including oil and filter changes, inspections, tire rotations, and more. With L/Certified pre-owned vehicles, you’ll enjoy these services for up to two years or 20,000 miles, whichever comes first.
L/Certified Means Even More Warranty
Lexus believes in every L/Certified pre-owned vehicle it sells, and when you purchase or lease one, you can know that not only has it been carefully inspected and properly maintained, but it will also be covered by the L/Certified Limited Warranty for two years, which includes roadside assistance, trip protection, and access to a loaner vehicle when necessary.
L/Certified Limited Warranty
If your L/Certified pre-owned vehicle is still under the four-year/50,000-mile Basic Warranty when you buy or lease it, the two-year L/Certified Limited Warranty kicks in right when the Basic Warranty ends. If the vehicle is past its new vehicle Basic Warranty, your two years of L/Certified Limited Warranty coverage begins at the time of your purchase. A few components that naturally wear out from normal use will not be covered, but any covered repairs will be made at no cost to you, with no mileage limit.
Lexus Roadside Assistance
Another advantage of having an L/Certified pre-owned vehicle is the Lexus Roadside Assistance program, which extends two years beyond the end of the four-year Basic Warranty. If your vehicle needs a tire change, a jump-start for a dead battery, fuel when you’ve run out, a tow to a nearby Lexus dealer, or you need a way into your car when you’re locked out, Lexus has a nationwide network of roadside service providers in place that can get to you and help you. You can use the convenient Lexus app to make it even easier to get the roadside assistance you need.
Trip Protection
When you’re on the road, far from home, and the unexpected happens, you could be caught waiting for vehicle repairs that are going to take more time than you were prepared to take. With an L/Certified pre-owned vehicle, you can drive with the confidence of knowing that Lexus is there for you with Trip Interruption Service, a benefit that will reimburse your meals and lodging for up to three nights at $200 per night and a rental car for up to five days at $50 per day.
Loaner Car
Any time that warrantied repairs to your L/Certified pre-owned vehicle keep you at a Lexus dealership for longer than eight hours, the dealership will be happy to provide you with a loaner car when needed, completely free of charge.
L/Certified Means More Connected
As if all these advantages weren’t reason enough to choose to partner with Lexus for your next pre-owned vehicle purchase or lease, with select 2018 or newer L/Certified pre-owned vehicles you can also get a complimentary three-month trial of Lexus Enform, the remote connect technology from Lexus. With Enform Remote , you can securely start your vehicle, adjust climate control, operate door locks, and more, all through the Lexus app on your smartphone. The trial also includes the safety enhancements of Safety Connect and the navigation support of Destination Assist.
