I agree. It is a refurbished device. I had a warranty issue with my original Tour and they sent me a CPO (refurb). It seemed to be just fine, and in fact a bit better than the one I turned in when it was new as best as I can recall. No scratches on it, for all intents and purposes it may as well have been a new device, as the only way I could tell it wasn't new was the packaging.
"Sandy", for all intents and purposes it was. All refurbs are fully tested and are given
new housings, buttons and screens. Side by side almost no one can tell a refurb
from a new device.

That's sort of what I figured. I've never been hesitant dealing with refurbished products. They're given individual scrutiny vs the production line stream where they may sample/test every one or every few or every few dozen.
I'm not sure what Toyota has to do with this conversation but my point remains
the same.
Be it a car or a cell phone, "Certified Preowned" is a dumbass term used to
placate those who are averse to the term refurb while charging them a premium
for the extra syllables.
