We reported just two days ago that General Motors would be making its entire Certified Used Vehicle inventory available for sale on Cars.com. Today the General announced that each of those vehicles will now be sold with the same 5-year/100,000-mile powertrain limited warranty that's included with the purchase of a brand new 2007 model. The warranty for these vehicles that range in model year from 2002 to 2006 begins with their original in-service date and is fully transferable, as well. Just like the powertrain warranty on the new models, this one covers components in the engine, transmission, transfer case where applicable and the final drive assemblies. Today's announcement only covers vehicles from Buick, Chevy, GMC, Oldsmobile and Pontiac, however. The rest of GM's brands have their own certified used vehicle programs, though Saturn is expected to announce the same warranty for its used vehicles later this year. Cadillac, Saab and HUMMER certified used vehicles are already offered with a 6-year/100,000-mile bumper-to-bumper limited warranty.

DETROIT - General Motors today announced that it will provide consumers with a fully transferable five-year/100,000-mile* powertrain limited warranty with no deductible, on all GM Certified Used Vehicles, the industry's top-selling manufacturer-certified used vehicle brand.
"Last fall, GM unveiled the best new car and truck coverage of any full-line manufacturer in the nation**, letting customers know that every one of our 2007 light-duty vehicles delivers a superior level of quality," said Troy Clarke, GM group vice president and president, GM North America. "We're very pleased to now offer that same level of confidence with every GM Certified Used Vehicle from Buick, Chevrolet, GMC, Oldsmobile and Pontiac."
The new GM Certified Used Vehicles five-year/100,000-mile powertrain limited warranty with no deductible, available on all 2002-2006 GM Certified Used Vehicles, is effective from the vehicle's original in-service date.
The fully transferable limited powertrain warranty covers more than 900 components related to the engine, transmission, transfer case (if applicable) and final drive assemblies on all GM Certified Used Vehicles sold in the United States.
