Lexus CPO vehicles
I have a friend that has a certified pre-owned LX470. He went to trade it in the other day and found out that the car had been in an accident prior to him purchasing it. We both told the guy there was no way that the car had been wrecked before because it was a CPO vehicle. We went to another dealer and was told the same thing. It had 30,000 miles on it when he bought it three years ago and the salesman said that it was never in an accident before and even gave him a free carfax record.
He's my question; does Lexus certify vehicles that has been involved in an accident?

First off, how are they determining the car had been in an accident? CPO cars are the most pristine of the off lease cars. No accidents, no major repairs. If it is in their computer systems, I think a visit to the dealer where you originally purchased the car is at hand.

There was a small amount of overspray on the weather strip of the lift gate just underneath the window and the lift gate on the passenger side is a little offset.

Does anyone know for absolutely sure that Lexus don't certify vehicles that have been in an accident?

We took it to the Infiniti dealer just to confirm what the other dealer said. The nearest Lexus dealer is one and a half hours away in Baton Rouge.

I went to Lexus.com and it states this:
"The general definition of a Lemon Law vehicle is: A vehicle with (a) major, repeated problem(s) that has been repurchased by, or had its purchase price renegotiated with, the manufacturer. State laws then earmark these as Lemon Law, Buyback or Salvage vehicles. These vehicles are ineligible for Lexus Certified Pre-Owned Limited Warranty coverage."
and this:
"A title issued on a vehicle where an insurance company has declared the vehicle a total loss. These vehicles were typically involved in a flood or severe accident. These vehicles are not eligible for Lexus Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle Programs. (See: Lemon Law)"
It does not say a car that has previously been involved in an accident, only that it could not be declared a total loss.
