The SmartBuy Program Broken Down by Tier

The SmartBuy initiative organizes inventory into three distinct categories based on age and mileage, ensuring transparency for every shopper. By categorizing vehicles into Gold, Silver, and Bronze tiers, we provide a clear roadmap of what to expect regarding coverage and vehicle history.

  • Gold Tier: Fewer than 80,000 miles and less than 8 years old. Includes 12-month/12,000-mile powertrain coverage and 1-month/1,000-mile platinum coverage.
  • Silver Tier: 80,000 to 120,000 miles or 8 to 12 years old. Includes 3-month/3,000-mile powertrain coverage.
  • Bronze Tier: Over 120,000 miles or older than 12 years. Built for maximum value while still receiving rigorous quality checks.

Both Gold and Silver tier purchases include two keys at delivery. If any component requires replacement during reconditioning, the parts center at Modern Nissan of Winston-Salem provides the necessary items to help the vehicle meet our standards.
