Hummer Guy Hummer News and Opinion from an experienced off-road instructor
HUMMER’s Certified Pre-Owned program is designed to give purchasers of used HUMMERs peace of mind. The program comes with an extensive HUMMER Certified pre-owned limited warranty, and is available exclusively at Hummer Dealers.
Certified Pre-Owned Hummer Inspection
Each vehicle is put through a 117-point inspection before it is approved. The assessment includes mechanical inspection and service. Everything under the hood, as well as inside and under the truck, is inspected to make sure it meets original factory standards. The vehicle also undergoes an appearance inspection to make sure it looks good — Including complete interior and exterior detailing. Finally, there is a comprehensive conditioning process to restore the vehicles “like-new” feeling.
Certified Pre-Owned Hummer Warranty
Each Certified Pre-owned HUMMER comes with the remainder of the unexpired portion of the original 4 year / 50,000 mile new vehicle limited warranty, Emissions and Corrosion Protection Warranties. HUMMER Certified Pre-owned Limited Warranty coverage is effective upon the expiration of the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
While extremely comprehensive, the Certified Pre-owned Limited Warranty is not an extension of the 4 year / 50,000 mile New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
The Certified Pre-owned Limited Warranty provides extensive coverage for defects in materials or workmanship of covered components for up to 6 years from the original vehicle in-service date or 100,000 miles whichever occurs first.
There is no deductible for covered repairs.
Component coverage categories include:
? Engine Mechanical/Electrical/Cooling
? Transmission/Transaxle/Transfer case
? Drive Systems
? Steering Systems
? Brake Systems
? Electrical Systems
? Safety / Restraint Systems
? HVAC Systems
? Fuel Systems
? Suspension
? Audio / Sound Systems
? Emissions Systems
Roadside Assistance and Courtesy Transportation
Roadside Assistance can be reached 24 hours a
day 365 days a year. This service is provided at
no charge for a period of 6 years or 100,000 miles
whichever occurs first. Service is available only in
the United States and Canada.
Emergency Road service is performed onsite for the following situations:
• Towing Service
• Battery Jump Starting
• Lock Out Assistance
• Fuel Delivery
• Flat Tire Change (covers change only)
Courtesy Transportation is also included during the 6 year / 100,000 mile Certified Pre-owned warranty period. Whenever warranty repairs are required, there are several transportation options and/or reimbursement of certain transportation expenses available for your convenience at participating dealers.
Certified Hummer Costs
2006 HUMMER models and forward are only $1695, as they came with a 4 year/50,000 mile warranty to begin with. Comparable coverage from another company would easily cost two to three times that ammount.
Hummerguy’s Take
The certified pre-owned deal is pretty solid. For the price you pay, you get quite a bit. Even if you’re looking at new vehicles, you may want to look at low-mileage, late-model HUMMERs. These are the real steals – upgrading to a 6 year/100,000 mile factory limited warranty on a used 2009 Hummer that has 8,000 miles for only $1695 is a great deal.
Currently we have several Certified Hummers for sale that can be viewed on our “Buy a Hummer” page.
