paint cracks
1 bent wheel so far
3 curbed up wheels
paint chips
headliner installed wrong and separating on left corner
dented Nismo logo on shifter plate
faded passenger seat
steering wheel suede dirty and coming apart
2 1/2 quart of oil was low
dirty filthy air filter
exhaust leak
non Nissan front rotor
ebrake doesn't hold
non matching tires
front lip faded and chipped looks textured
I am lost. They have been ignoring me and said every Nissan does the certified different. Nissan consumer affairs said the same thing too and they don't know what a Nissan certified preown condition suppose to be in. I have an appointment tomorrow and need some help.

I have not been a Nissan tech but typically CPO has to be in like new condition. No dents over a certain size (Acura was a nickel if I remember correct), no curb rash (they can repair the rash doesn’t need to be replaced), no bent wheels etc... in order to be CPO certified the car has to meet tighter standards, you can call Nissan customer support line to get the actual requirements and if yours do3snt pass you can report it to Nissan and that dealer will be under the radar (no dealer wants to lose their ability to sell CPO cars and they can lose that right if they have enough complaints or get caught selling non passing cars). On the paint chips it’s like dents, they have to be under a certain size and again can be touched up, they are not required to re paint the car or you’d never see a CPO car as the dealer wouldn’t be able to sell one with any profit after repainting an entire car etc...
Buying a Nissan CPO is actually a better bargain than new as the CPO powertrain warranty is better than new car (100k vs 36k). I picked myself up a 2013 CPO z and couldn’t be happier.
