Subaru CPO, Explained
What Makes a Used Subaru Certified?
Subaru Certified Pre-Owned is a factory program, not a label a dealership can print on its own. To qualify, a used car has to clear Subaru's 152-point inspection, have anything that falls short repaired or replaced, and come with a CARFAX® report showing a clean title.
That process earns its keep in Ocala. A car here might spend its first few years on farm lanes, on sandy roads through the Ocala National Forest and in parking lots with the A/C working overtime. The odometer can't tell you how those miles went. A 152-point inspection and a CARFAX report get you a lot closer.
Subaru's track record helps, too. The company reports that 97% of the vehicles it sold in the last 10 years are still on the road today.3
The Checklist
Inside the 152-Point Subaru CPO Inspection
Subaru's checklist follows the car from the records to the final detail. Here is how it breaks down.3

- Step 3
Cabin and Controls
- Heat and A/C on all settings, plus a vent odor check
- Cabin air filter, replaced if needed
- Touchscreen, speakers and Bluetooth
- Seats, seat belts, child locks and LATCH anchors
- Step 4
Under the Hood
- Coolant, hoses and clamps with the engine cold
- Brake, transmission and power steering fluids
- Air filter, plus belt tension and condition
- A complete battery test
- Step 5
Up on the Lift

Maintenance Gets Caught Up
If a car is nearly due for scheduled maintenance, or has no service record, that maintenance gets done as part of certification.
Coverage
The Subaru CPO Warranty, in Plain English
What most shoppers call the CPO warranty is, in Subaru's words, a factory-backed 7-year/100,000-mile powertrain vehicle service agreement with no deductible.1,2 It covers engine, transaxle and differential components, not the whole car, and any time left on the factory warranties stays with the car as well. That includes the New Vehicle Limited Warranty, which covers the entire vehicle, subject to its exclusions, for 3 years or 36,000 miles.4
Here's the part worth knowing before you compare cars: those 7 years count from the vehicle's original warranty start date, not the day you buy it. A certified Subaru that's 3 years past that date has about 4 years of the term left, as long as it's still under 100,000 miles. Ask us for that date on any certified car you're comparing.

Years from the original warranty start date
Bars show years only. Each term also ends at its mileage limit, so a high-mileage car can reach it sooner.
Want Coverage Beyond the Powertrain?Subaru's optional Added Security Gold Plus plan is its most comprehensive mechanical coverage. It covers all major systems, including wear and tear of covered components and advanced technology like EyeSight, and leaves out a short list, including maintenance items, body parts, glass, brake pads, wiper blades, hoses, belts and batteries. For covered repairs, it also includes towing, rental car reimbursement and trip interruption benefits, plus 24-hour emergency roadside assistance.9
Certified vs. Used
A Certified Subaru vs. a Regular Used Car
| What You're Checking | Subaru Certified Pre-Owned | Regular Used Car |
|---|---|---|
| Inspection | 152 points, with mechanical items signed off by a technician and a service manager | Up to the seller |
| Title | Clean title required | Varies, so read the report |
| Vehicle history report | CARFAX report included | Ask the seller |
| Powertrain coverage | 7 years or 100,000 miles from the original warranty start date1 | What's left from the factory, or a plan transferred or bought with the car |
| Deductible on that coverage | None2 | None on a Subaru factory warranty; other plans vary |
| Roadside assistance | Included, 24/71 | Not always included |
| Performance modifications | Not allowed | Possible, so look closely |
A regular used car can still be the right call, especially if you're comfortable vetting it yourself, and we sell those, too.

Buying a Certified Subaru in Ocala
Ocala and Marion County are known as the Horse Capital of the World, and the driving here varies: horse farms and the World Equestrian Center on the northwest side, forest roads past Silver Springs and the daily run down SW College Road. Three checklist items suit that driving especially well: the A/C test for Florida summers, the tread check for afternoon downpours and the look at struts, axles and CV boots for everything that isn't pavement.
Whether you're in Ocala proper, Silver Springs Shores, Belleview or Dunnellon, the current certified list is online, so you can narrow it down before you head over. Once the car is yours, our service team is right here, with Subaru-trained technicians and genuine Subaru parts.

Questions
Subaru CPO Questions From Ocala Shoppers
What does Certified Pre-Owned mean at Subaru?
It means a used Subaru has met the requirements of Subaru's own program: a 152-point safety inspection with failed items repaired or replaced and a CARFAX report showing a clean title. It also comes with factory-backed powertrain coverage.
How long is the Subaru CPO warranty?
The coverage is a 7-year/100,000-mile powertrain vehicle service agreement with no deductible on standard security plans. It runs from the vehicle's original warranty start date, not your purchase date, so the time left depends on the car.
Is a certified Subaru worth it over a regular used one?
That comes down to how much of the checking you want to do yourself. Certified gets you a documented inspection, longer powertrain coverage and 24/7 roadside assistance. On a regular used Subaru, those depend on the seller, the car's age and what's left of its factory coverage. We carry both, and our team can help you compare them.
Can I add more coverage to a certified Subaru?
Yes, at additional cost. Subaru says Certified Pre-Owned vehicles can be upgraded to its Added Security Gold Plus plan for up to 10 years or 100,000 miles from the original warranty start date. It covers everything except a short list, including maintenance items, body parts, glass, brake pads, wiper blades, hoses, belts and batteries. Ask us for the full list, and to confirm the plan for the car you're considering.
Which certified Subaru models can I find in Ocala?
The list changes as cars come in. Subaru names the Outback, Forester, Crosstrek and Ascent among its popular models, and our certified inventory page is the place to check.
Can I finance a certified Subaru or use a trade-in?
Yes to both. Subaru offers special finance rates on Certified Pre-Owned vehicles for well-qualified buyers, subject to credit approval. Rates change, so start an application or ask our finance team what's current. You can also value your trade online before you visit.
