It’s Time to Invest in Your Future with These Certified Pre-Owned Toyotas

What do you do in the face of failure? Out of every failure comes an opportunity for success. Toyota’s debut on American soil with the Toyopet Crown was an epic failure, but the automaker refused to give up and, ultimately, found success with models like the Corona, Corolla, and Land Cruiser. This unrelenting spirit defines Toyota as an automaker and is evident in every vehicle in the lineup from the Prius to the 4Runner and Tundra. As your Certified Pre-Owned Toyota dealer, it’s also one of the many reasons why we’re proud to carry the Toyota name.

Toyota’s unrelenting spirit makes its vehicles exceptionally valuable because you know you’re getting the best from the Toyota brand–versatility, capability, durability, and reliability. This makes shopping for a Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) Toyota a wise investment and puts you in the company of over seven million others who made the same investment over the last two decades. But, with all the Toyota options available, from adventure-ready workhorses like the Tacoma and spacious SUVs like the 4Runner to efficient sedans like the Prius, how can you possibly choose the right model? That’s where we come in to help.

The Basics: Toyota’s Certified Pre-Owned Standards

Before we dive into your options, it’s important to know that Toyota holds its CPO to a higher standard so that you have confidence in your purchase and in your new-to-you vehicle. Every certified pre-owned Toyota must be less than six years old and have fewer than 85,000 miles. Once it meets these age and mileage standards, it must then pass a 160-point quality assurance inspection that looks over everything from the engine and transmission to the fluids, electrical components, and owner’s manual. Once it’s reconditioned, it earns its Certified Pre-Owned badge and makes its way into our inventory, where we provide a complete CARFAX vehicle history report, warranty coverage, and a host of benefits.

So Many Choices: Our Top Certified Pre-Owned Picks

Looking for Efficiency? Shop the Prius

Designed as a car for the 21st century, the Prius made its debut in Japan in 1997 as the first mass-produced hybrid vehicle in the world. Just a few years later, the Prius made its way to America in 2001 and quickly earned praise as one of the cleanest vehicles sold in the country. This cemented its reputation in the Toyota lineup as millions of customers have discovered everything the Prius has to offer beyond its impressive efficiency and responsive handling.

Today, shopping for a CPO Prius means getting behind the wheel of a fourth-generation model. Unveiled in 2015, this generation outfits the Prius with a modern design with aggressive lines and a lower center of gravity that makes the Prius look like it’s hugging the road. The Prius’ driving and riding dynamics are also better thanks to its rigid body structure and new double-wishbone rear suspension. You’ll find several other improvements, including a suite of innovative infotainment, connectivity, and safety features, as well as an all-wheel-drive model perfect for Chicago winters and a Nightshade Edition that puts the Prius in stealth mode.

Looking for Comfort? Shop the Corolla

As one of the best-selling nameplates in history, our list wouldn’t be complete without the Corolla. First introduced in America in 1966, the Corolla arrived on the heels of the Toyopet Crown and, along with the Corona, helped put Toyota on the map in America with its compact size, reliability, and affordable price tag. That hasn’t changed over the last five decades as Toyota reports selling over 50 million Corollas throughout the sedan’s twelve-generation history. So, where does that leave your search for a Certified Pre-Owned Corolla?

You’ll find eleventh and twelfth-generation Corollas in our certified pre-owned inventory. Eleventh-generation Corollas (2014-2018) feature an updated body design and premium interior materials that make the sedan’s cabin more spacious and luxurious than most of its competitors. Models built after 2017 come standard with the Toyota Safety Sense suite of innovative tools, which include automatic emergency braking, automatic high beams, and full-speed dynamic radar cruise control. These features remain a staple on the twelfth-generation Corolla (2019-Present), which reintroduced the hatchback, debuted a hybrid sedan, and unveiled a host of trims and customization options like the opulent XLE, sporty XSE, and exclusive Nightshade Special Edition.

Looking for a Pickup Truck? Shop the Tacoma

Affectionately known as the “Taco,” the Tacoma got its start in America in 1995 in the compact truck segment before its second-generation (2005-2015) extended its size and earned it a place in the midsize segment. Since its debut, the Tacoma has built its reputation around its versatility as a go-anywhere truck. It’s an agile and efficient weekday road warrior for your daily commute around Romeoville, but its size and Toyota’s engineering also make it an adventure-ready rig that can easily handle the demands of a weekend outing at The Cliffs Insane Terrain Off-Road Park.

Between the Toyota name and the Tacoma’s versatility, this midsize truck is a remarkable value on the Certified Pre-Owned lot. You’ll find third-generation models in our inventory that offer the latest styling and a host of updated technology features that range from a center touchscreen display to advanced driver-assist tools like adaptive cruise control. For off-road enthusiasts, look for models like the Tacoma TRD Pro, which readies the truck for the trail with a suspension lift, Fox shocks, and a host of other off-road components that make the truck more than capable of handling its own long after the pavement ends.

Looking for a Spacious Adventurer? Shop the 4Runner

In an industry saturated with crossovers, the 4Runner dares to be different. Toyota’s truck-based midsize SUV balances spaciousness and luxury with on and off-road capability. Introduced in the early 1980s, the first-generation 4Runner was nothing more than a Toyota Hilux with a fiberglass shell covering its bed. Fortunately, Toyota improved the 4Runner’s design throughout the 1990s and 2000s, ultimately ushering the SUV into a modern era complete with a more powerful engine that made the 4Runner a versatile SUV capable of navigating your daily commute, running errands in Chicago, and blazing a new trail with friends at Fox Valley Off Road.

Today, shopping for a CPO 4Runner means enjoying more innovative technology and capability from the fifth generation of Toyota’s popular SUV. Toyota gave the 4Runner a facelift in 2014 and introduced Americans to the adventurous TRD Pro in 2015, the latter of which is an ideal trail runner with Bilstein shocks, skid plates, and a host of components that ready it for dirt-road adventures. You’ll also find this generation is replete with modern conveniences ranging from a standard rearview camera to smartphone integration, satellite radio, and navigation.

Shop with Confidence, Shop for a Certified Pre-Owned Toyota

Whether you’re looking for a compact car like the Prius, a best-selling sedan like the Corolla, or adventure-ready rigs like the Tacoma and 4Runner, we’ve got it all right here on our lot. Toyota’s outstanding reputation in the industry for delivering reliable and versatile vehicles makes shopping for a Certified Pre-Owned Toyota a great investment. Toyota, however, wants you to have all the confidence you need in your purchase, which is why every CPO Toyota comes with two factory-backed warranties and 24-hour roadside assistance. This not only makes it easy to choose a Certified Pre-Owned Toyota, but it also engineers peace of mind long after you drive off our lot, knowing that we’ve got you covered for many miles ahead.
