Certified Pre-Owned Lincoln SUVs
Certified Pre-Owned Lincoln SUVs: What Long Beach Buyers Should Know
For shoppers across Long Beach, Torrance, Cerritos, and the greater Southern California area, a Certified Pre-Owned Lincoln SUV offers a rare combination: the sanctuary-like comfort of Lincoln's Quiet Flight design philosophy, at a more accessible price point than a new model, backed by factory-level assurance. At Caruso Lincoln, our CPO inventory spans the Navigator, Aviator, and Nautilus lineups, so you can move into the luxury SUV that fits your life without compromising on peace of mind.
Before you start browsing our used vehicle inventory, it helps to understand exactly what "certified" means at Lincoln, how the program is structured, and what protections come standard with every CPO vehicle we sell.
Two Tiers of Certification: Signature and Select
Not every used Lincoln qualifies for certification, and the vehicles that do fall into one of two tiers depending on age and mileage.
The Signature Tier covers vehicles no older than the current model year plus five, with fewer than 60,000 miles on the odometer. These vehicles undergo a 200-point inspection and carry a 6-year/100,000-mile Comprehensive Limited Warranty measured from the original in-service date. The Select Tier extends eligibility to vehicles up to the current model year plus seven, with fewer than 80,000 miles, following a 139-point inspection and a 12-month/12,000-mile Comprehensive Limited Warranty from the date of purchase. Every CPO Lincoln, regardless of tier, includes a CARFAX Vehicle History Report to screen for accident history and frame damage before it ever reaches our lot.
What the Inspection Actually Covers
Certification isn't a rubber stamp. Every vehicle is inspected nose to tail by factory-trained Lincoln technicians, with any component that doesn't meet program standards repaired or replaced using genuine Ford, Motorcraft, or Ford-authorized parts.
That means the mechanical systems, electronics, interior trim, body panels, and glass are all evaluated before a vehicle earns CPO status. It's the same reconditioning discipline you'd expect on a new vehicle, applied to a pre-owned Navigator, Aviator, or Nautilus.
Warranty Coverage and Peace of Mind
Lincoln's Comprehensive Limited Warranty covers repair or replacement of more than 1,000 components, with a standard deductible of $100 per covered repair.
One detail that sets Lincoln's program apart: the Subsequent Owner Warranty. If you ever decide to sell your CPO Lincoln, the remaining warranty coverage transfers to the new owner at no cost, which can meaningfully support resale value down the road. For buyers who want coverage that extends beyond the standard CPO term, optional Lincoln Protect Extended Service Plans, including PremiumCare coverage up to nine years or 125,000 miles, are also available.
Roadside Assistance and Ownership Perks
Every Certified Pre-Owned Lincoln includes complimentary 24/7 roadside assistance for the duration of the warranty coverage.
That includes towing assistance, on-site flat-tire changes, jump starts for a dead battery, lockout assistance, and fuel delivery if you happen to run dry on the 405 or the 605. Whether you're commuting through Long Beach, Torrance, or Cerritos, it's the kind of quiet reassurance that fits Lincoln's concierge approach to ownership.
