WOODCLIFF LAKE, N.J. -

Toyota Certified Used Vehicles, as it turns out, is celebrating more than just its 20th anniversary in April.

The CPO program — along with those at eight other brands, for that matter — just posted its best sales month of all time, according to Autodata Corp.

And so did the overall industry

As for Toyota, it moved 38,563 certified vehicles in March,  which beat year-ago figures by 23.2 percent, Autodata said.

Toyota leadership told Auto Remarketing last month that TCUV aims to have 400,000 sales this year.

Through the first quarter of 2016, the company is right on pace with 100,511 certified sales year-to-date.

Of course, Toyota was not alone in CPO record-breaking in March. Not even within its own parent company.

Its sister brand on the luxury side, Lexus, reached an all-time high with 8,560 CPO sales in March. It closed the quarter with 22,994 CPO sales.

Japanese rivals Nissan and Infiniti both posted record certified months, as well, with 16,228 and 3,027 CPO sales, respectively. Through March, Nissan has sold 44,462 certified vehicles this year and Infiniti has moved 7,335.

Sticking with Japanese brands, Subaru notched a record 5,700 CPO sales, pushing its year-to-date sum to 14,825.  

Meanwhile, Korean brands Hyundai and Kia both hit all-time highs, with 9,707 and 6,806 CPO sales, respectively. In Q1, Hyundai sold 23,993 CPO units and Kia moved 16,583.

Domestics were in on the action, as well.
