L/Certified Phoenix


L/Certified by Lexus (CPO) in Phoenix, AZ

If you are shopping for a pre-owned Lexus in Phoenix, the L/Certified by Lexus program gives you a clear path to a vehicle you can trust. Every L/Certified Lexus comes with a thorough Total View inspection, strong warranty protection, and maintenance benefits built in. At Earnhardt Lexus, our no-pressure approach means you get straightforward answers about every vehicle on our lot.

What Is L/Certified by Lexus?

L/Certified by Lexus is Lexus's factory-backed certified pre-owned program. It is available exclusively through authorized Lexus dealers, which means you can only purchase an L/Certified vehicle from a dealership like Earnhardt Lexus in Phoenix. 


Unlike a standard used vehicle, every L/Certified Lexus has cleared a rigorous certification process before it reaches the lot. That process includes a 161-point inspection, verified vehicle history, warranty coverage, and complimentary maintenance, all included in the price.


 Often, but not always, they are CarFax 1Owner vehicles. That’s reassurance of a different kind.

    The 161-Point Inspection Process

    Every vehicle that carries the L/Certified badge has been inspected by Lexus-trained technicians using a 161-point checklist. In fact, it may cover more than 220 line items and even more components than that implies. This is not a quick once-over. A typical L/Certified inspection covers the powertrain, exterior condition, interior components, electronics, safety systems, and undercarriage. It also includes a road test, looking at ride quality, noise, air conditioning effectiveness and more.

    To qualify for Total View certification, a vehicle must meet specific age and mileage requirements. 

    Each L/Certified Lexus also comes with a CARFAX Vehicle History Report so you can review the vehicle's ownership and service record before you buy.  

    Warranty Coverage and LexusCare Benefits

    One of the strongest parts of the L/Certified program is what comes after the sale.

    Warranty coverage: Up to 6 years, Unlimited Mileage (Based on date of first use)

    Additional Coverage:  Roadside Assistance, Travel Protection (during warranty period)

    LexusCare scheduled maintenance: Up to 4 Maintenance Visits (2 years/20,000 miles)

    Connected Services: Free trials vary by vehicle, but may include Enform Remote/Remote Connect, Destination Assist, Safety Connect and Service Connect.

    My Lexus Account: This benefit includes exclusive rewards such as complimentary valet parking, event access, hotel upgrades and more.

    These L/Certified benefits work together to reduce the cost of ownership in the first years after your purchase. Your service visits at Earnhardt Lexus are handled by the same Lexus-trained technicians who performed the original certification inspection.

    Financing an L/Certified Lexus in Phoenix

    L/Certified vehicles qualify for special financing rates through Lexus Financial Services. Rates and terms change regularly, so the best step is to check current offers directly with the Earnhardt Lexus finance team. L/Certified purchases often come with new car interest rates and favorable leasing deals.

    Lexus has a well-documented record for long-term reliability. That track record, combined with the L/Certified warranty and maintenance coverage, gives you additional confidence in your purchase.

    Our finance team works with a range of credit profiles and can walk you through your options without pressure. You can apply online or come in to the dealership.

    The Best of 2026

    While it’s smart not to put all your faith in ratings, it is worth noting that Lexus L/Certified earned Best CPO Program in 2026 from the judges at US News and World Report. This award offers reassurance to luxury car shoppers interested in certified preowned Lexus.

     At the 2026 Consumer Choice Awards from Kelley Blue Book, Lexus earned Best Overall Luxury Brand for the sixth time. It also earned Most Trusted Luxury Brand, Best Resale Value Luxury Brand, and Best Value Luxury Brand.
