Sheehy Toyota of Laurel celebrates achievement as
first-ever Certified Pre-Owned brand to surpass
milestone
LAUREL,
Md., Dec. 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Toyota
Certified Used Vehicles (TCUV), the number one certified pre-owned
vehicle program in the nation, achieved its 8 millionth sale when
Sheehy Toyota of Laurel sold a
2024 Toyota Camry with a Supersonic Red exterior.
By becoming the first-ever certified pre-owned vehicle program
to hit the sales milestone, representatives from Toyota Motor North
America (TMNA) joined the team at Sheehy Toyota of Laurel to present the lucky customer with a
check for the Camry's total purchase price, as well as a
$10,000 donation in their name to the
Active Minds, on behalf of Toyota and Carfax. Active
Minds is the nation's leading nonprofit organization promoting
mental health awareness and education for young adults.
"It's an honor to be part of the TCUV's 8 millionth sale with
our first-time TCUV customer, outstanding sales team, and TMNA to
celebrate this historic milestone here in Laurel," said Chris Prender, general manager
at Sheehy Toyota. "Customers know they can trust Toyota vehicles
for their high-quality, safety and durability, and our commitment
to delivering reliable mobility for their purpose and
lifestyle."
Additionally, the customer was gifted a one-year subscription to
Sirius XM, a leading audio entertainment service.
Launched in 1996, TCUV is the nation's number one certified
pre-owned used vehicle program for 16 consecutive years. For a used
Toyota vehicle to be Gold Certified, it must pass a rigorous
160-point quality assurance inspection including interior and
exterior condition and appearance; engine performance; transmission
and transaxle operation; braking, tire and suspension system wear;
and electronic system operation. This also includes added hybrid,
electric and fuel cell component coverage.
Vehicles sold with the TCUV Gold Certified designation come with
a 12-month/12,000-mile limited comprehensive warranty,
seven-year/100,000-mile limited powertrain warranty and seven
years/100,000 miles of Roadside Assistance.
TCUV launched Silver Certification earlier this year, giving
customers further peace of mind on eligible vehicles up to 10 model
years old and between 60,000-125,000 miles on the odometer.
