With demand for dealer-certified used Lexus vehicles rising eight percent in 2007, Lexus has adjusted the requirements for its Certified Pre-Owned program. Eligible vehicles can now have up to 70,000 miles, where the previous mileage could only be 60,000. On top of that, the maximum age has been bumped up a year, to seven years old.

The multi-point inspection will remain the same, so vehicles will still have to meet some very strict quality standards, including a clean title history, but these changes could boost the used vehicle volume by seven percent.
