Primarily it's a great 3 yr / 100K warranty.

http://www.lexus.com/cpo/benefits/index.html

Our generous Customer Care Package and extensive maintenance checks affirm that every Certified Pre-Owned Lexus comes with virtually all the protection, performance and luxury of a brand-new Lexus.

Each Certified Pre-Owned Lexus must pass a grueling 128-point inspection checklist, and is supported by a Lexus-backed 3-year/100,000-total-vehicle-mile limited warranty [2] that begins the day you drive it off the lot -- not on its original purchase date. So for the same price you may pay for a run-of-the-mill new car, you could be driving a Certified Pre-Owned Lexus and enjoying the security of a Lexus.

Other benefits include new-car finance rates and terms, Lexus 24-hour Roadside Assistance at no extra charge [3], a complimentary loaner car for qualified warrantable repairs [3], and a complimentary oil and filter change or 5,000-mile service within 90 days from the purchase date. In short, the benefits and services you would receive with each new Lexus come with each Certified Pre-Owned Lexus.

There are no deductibles and, should the vehicle break down while you're away from home, you will be provided with meals and lodging for a maximum of 3 nights (up to $200 per night) while repairs are performed on your car, in addition to a rental car for up to 5 days (up to $50 per day). See your Lexus dealer for complete warranty details.

Certified is a great program, IMO is just like having a new car. I bought mine in March of 2001 with 59k, whenever I take it in I get a Lexus loaner, I have used the Roadside Assistance twice (both times LIFESAVERs). Pretty much new car service, used car price.

Check out my tranny threads

Keep in mind my car is 96 and it had 94k when my issues arose, I always got TOP SHELF service, as if my car was a 2003
