Just purchased a 2014 Honda Odyssey CPO last week. It has 41K miles, so I asked why the battery had not been changed, and they said it was inspected and battery considered to be good. When I asked for the 182point inspection checklist for the car at the time of the sale, the owner of the dealership…

db4690: Very helpful info. Now Here is the update my friends. All good news (for me). Honda USA contacted the dealership, and then the service director from the dealerships contacted me first thing Saturday morning. They apologized profusely, offered to send someone over to my home ASAP to pick u…

jtsanders: Yea- that’s why I chatted with Honda directly rather than calling the dealership. I was annoyed. I expect, as others have said above, they will come up with some papers, real or not.

I wonder what Honda and/or dealer flat rate time is for mechanics to perform a CPO inspection??? That CPO checklist is quite lengthy and detailed. If they’re paying peanuts then pencil-whipping it and running it out the door is a distinct possibility. After all, the bottom line for the mechanic is …

It’s been awhile since I performed any CPO inspections, but here’s what I remember We got paid less than 2 hours, might have been around 1.5hrs There was some real pressure to make sure every vehicle that theoretically qualified a cpo vehicle. Obviously vehicles that are too old, were wrecked, or…

Thanks for the mucho quick response. The term is kinda funny. Why would a used car need to be certified as used. :slight_smile:

andrew_kennedy7: What is a CPO ? Apparently you did not read the header of this thread.

andrew_kennedy7: Why would a used car need to be certified as used Yes, the funnies of the English language (as interpreted by marketing people). Perhaps Certified & Used would be better, but for some unknown reason used is a bad word today.
