Drivers looking for a pre-owned vehicle that won’t depreciate as quickly as competing luxury vehicles should consider L/Certified models. These vehicles offer an excellent ride, but another benefit for car shoppers is that they better maintain their value. Keyes Lexus explains why our cars depreciate more slowly.

Light Use

Depreciation is unavoidable on any model, but you can slow it down considerably with light use and proper maintenance. That’s why L/Certified models have a natural advantage over other vehicles, since they’re required to have limited mileage on them — under 70,000 miles, specifically. Models that are over six years old are also not allowed to join the program, which works in your favor since an older car is often more depreciated.

Verified Inspection

Maintaining your vehicle’s components and systems is a great way to fight depreciation. That’s why the comprehensive 223-point inspection is so important. It ensures your vehicle is in good condition and ready for the road. You don’t get this guarantee on ordinary used cars, which is another reason they hold their value.

Routine Maintenance

The L/Certified program adds complimentary service and maintenance to any vehicle’s financing plan. That means you can easily keep up with your service schedule and book routine maintenance to keep your model’s value as high as it can be. And under this program, the next four factory-recommended services for 20,000 miles or two years are free, incentivizing you to maintain vehicle upkeep.

Even regular pre-owned Lexus models tend to hold their value. While this means you may pay more than some competitors, you also get the peace of mind that comes with a brand that has a rock-solid record of reliability.
