Certified Pre-owned Honda CR-V For Sale
Plaza Honda keeps HondaTrue Certified CR-Vs on the lot at 2740 Nostrand Avenue, and they are often the low-mileage, all-wheel-drive cars coming back off lease. A certified CR-V is the lowest-risk way to buy Honda's compact SUV.
What a certified CR-V gets you
A certified CR-V is HondaTrue, Honda's own factory-backed program, so the coverage comes from the manufacturer rather than the dealer. Every one clears a 182-point inspection by factory-trained technicians and starts with a clean history, no salvage, flood, or odometer problems. The headline is a 7-year / 100,000-mile powertrain warranty from the car's original in-service date, with a $0 deductible, plus extended bumper-to-bumper coverage on top. On a 1.5-liter turbo CR-V, that powertrain warranty is exactly the coverage that puts the early oil-dilution question to rest.

The two certified tiers, compared
| Tier | Typical vehicle | Inspection | Powertrain warranty | Added bumper-to-bumper |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| HondaTrue Certified+ | Current or previous model year, under 12,000 miles — effectively near-new | 182-point | 7 years / 100,000 miles | Up to 5 years / 86,000 miles |
| HondaTrue Certified | Roughly the last five model years, over 12 months / 12,000 miles and under 80,000 miles | 182-point | 7 years / 100,000 miles | 2 years added on the original limited warranty, or up to 100,000 miles |
The car decides the tier, not you: a near-new, low-mileage CR-V lands in Certified+, while an older or higher-mileage one that still clears the bar is Certified. Both carry the same 7-year / 100,000-mile powertrain coverage from the in-service date, a real extension past the original 5-year / 60,000-mile Honda powertrain warranty. Ask which tier a specific CR-V qualifies for and we will show you the coverage in writing.
Why certified is the easy call on a CR-V. Two things that take homework on a regular used CR-V come pre-solved when it is certified. On a 1.5-liter turbo car, the oil-dilution software updates and any recalls are addressed as part of certification, and the 7-year / 100,000-mile powertrain warranty covers the engine well beyond the age of the affected years. And on a Hybrid, New York's emissions rules already cover the high-voltage battery for 10 years or 150,000 miles, so a certified CR-V Hybrid stacks that battery coverage under the certified powertrain and bumper-to-bumper warranties. If you were leaning toward an early turbo or a hybrid, certified is the version to buy.
Certified versus a regular used CR-V
Both sit on the same lot, and the choice comes down to how long you plan to keep the car. A regular used CR-V is the lower price up front, backed by our own inspection and reconditioning. A certified CR-V usually runs on the order of a thousand dollars more, and for that step you add the manufacturer's inspection, the extended powertrain and bumper-to-bumper coverage, roadside assistance, and $0-deductible repairs. Keeping the car a few years, certified tends to pay for itself the first time a covered repair comes up. We will put comparable cars side by side and show you the gap.
What makes it work here
Beyond the coverage, a certified CR-V is the Honda most Brooklyn buyers pick when a sedan is not quite enough. All-wheel drive, the thing no Accord or Civic offers, is common on certified cars coming back off lease, which is the real draw for winters and wet ramps. The cabin swallows strollers, flat-pack furniture, and airport runs, and the higher seating gives a better view over double-parked cars, yet the CR-V stays compact enough for street parking. One honest note: it stands about nine inches taller than an Accord, so if you park in a garage, measure the clearance bar before you buy.

Your trade is the lever most people underuse: a current appraisal often moves you from a used CR-V up to a certified one, or into all-wheel drive, and we will appraise your car whether or not you buy from us.

Frequently asked questions
What does a certified pre-owned CR-V cover?
A 182-point inspection, a clean history, and a 7-year / 100,000-mile powertrain warranty from the original in-service date with a $0 deductible, plus extended bumper-to-bumper coverage, 24-hour roadside assistance, and a 3-day / 300-mile exchange policy. Exact terms are confirmed on the specific car.
Does certification cover the 1.5 turbo oil-dilution concern?
Effectively, yes. Every certified CR-V passes the 182-point inspection, and any applicable software updates and recalls are addressed as part of certification, so the early oil-dilution question is handled rather than left for you to verify. On top of that, the 7-year / 100,000-mile powertrain warranty covers the engine well past the age of the affected 2017–2018 cars.
Do certified CR-Vs come with all-wheel drive?
Many do. Certified cars are often low-mileage lease returns, and a large share of CR-Vs are ordered with Real Time AWD, so all-wheel-drive certified examples are common. If winter traction is your priority, ask us to show you the certified AWD CR-Vs on the lot.
Is the hybrid battery covered on a certified CR-V Hybrid?
Yes. In New York the high-voltage battery is covered for 10 years or 150,000 miles as an emissions warranty, and it follows the car. On a certified CR-V Hybrid that battery coverage sits alongside the 7-year / 100,000-mile certified powertrain warranty and the extended bumper-to-bumper coverage.
What is the difference between HondaTrue Certified and Certified+?
Certified+ is the top tier, for near-new CR-Vs from the current or previous model year with under 12,000 miles. Certified covers older or higher-mileage cars, roughly the last five model years and under 80,000 miles, that still clear the inspection. Both carry the same 7-year / 100,000-mile powertrain warranty; the bumper-to-bumper terms differ, and the tier is set by the car.
Is a certified CR-V worth it over a regular used one?
The certified upcharge is often around a thousand dollars, and for that you add the 182-point inspection, the extended powertrain and bumper-to-bumper warranties, roadside assistance, and $0-deductible repairs. On an early turbo car especially, it converts a list of things to verify into coverage you simply have. If you are keeping the car a few years, it usually pays for itself.
When does the certified warranty start?
The powertrain coverage is measured from the car's original in-service date, meaning when it was first sold new, not the day you buy it. A certified CR-V that is a couple of years old still leaves you with several years of powertrain protection.
Can I trade in my current car and finance a certified CR-V?
Yes to both. You can get pre-approved before you visit, and we will appraise your current car whether or not you buy from us. A current trade often covers the step from a used CR-V up to a certified one, or into all-wheel drive.
What is Plaza Auto Mall?
A family-owned Brooklyn dealership group that has operated on Nostrand Avenue since 1975. It brings five new-car brands together, Honda, Toyota, Hyundai, Kia, and Acura, along with certified pre-owned inventory from each and a multibrand used-car operation. More than 1,000 vehicles sit within a seven-minute walk, so you can cross-shop in one visit, with one trade appraisal and one finance office.
