oh well. anyway, just because a car is pre-owned doesn't mean that the dealer wants to certify it. If the miles are too high or it had accident history, or maintenance issues they wont want to certify it.

The conditions of when they certify and sqying that nisan doesn't certify are two different things altogether. Not sure of your point?
But, what I have noticed having spent an enormously huge amount of time trying to find a used Z that's fairly priced.... Whenever a Z is overmileaged, the dealerships tend to certify them as a means to give some security to the purchase. If you find a low mileage Z? It is extremely rare to find it certified. They tend to just offer the warranty as an extra purchase or you can take it with whatever is remaining.

I was just talking to my sister about "certified" cars today. Smoke and mirrors. Certified doesn't mean crap.
She and my bro-in-law have a car lot and someone was trying to sell them a "certified" Lexus and it had been wrecked. Frame damage, etc.
Certification is just a way to squeeze more money out of you.
