What does a "Certified Pre-Owned" KIA
mean?
Certified Pre-Owned Kia cars are used Kia models
that have undergone a rigorous battery of testing, inspection, and recondition
prior to earning their CPO Status. Often regarded as a happy medium between
buying brand new and purchasing used, CPO Kia cars offer competitive prices,
lower mileage than most conventional used cars, and some unique perks like Kia
CPO Limited Warranty Coverage, Roadside Assistance, and much more.
What are the benefits of owning a Certified
Pre-Owned KIA?
If you love the idea of saving money by buying a
pre-owned car, but want to be absolutely certain you're purchasing a reliable
vehicle that you can count on for years to come, a Certified Pre-Owned Kia car
will be right up your alley. Not only do CPO Kia vehicles undergo a thorough
set of tests and inspections prior to receiving Certified status, but they also
offer advantages that you won't find with other used cars on the market near
Bolingbrook and Downers Grove these days.
Are Certified Pre-Owned vehicles covered by a
warranty?
You bet they are! In fact, each and every
Certified Pre-Owned Kia car for sale at our Kia dealership near Chicago
features a Comprehensive Limited Warranty for up to 1 year or 12,000 miles, as well as Powertrain Limited
Warranty Coverage for up to 10 years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes
first.
What areas are included in the 164-point
inspection?
Virtually every aspect of the vehicle is
thoroughly looked over during the 164-point inspection. Here's a brief overview
of what the technician will look at before certifying a pre-owned Kia
car.
- Vehicle History Report
- Road Test
- Emissions Testing
- Engine
- Transmission
- Steering and Suspension
- Cooling System
- Exhaust System
- Fuel Lines
- Brakes
- Electrical
- Heater & Air Conditioner
- Appearance, Body, and Structural
Integrity
- Hybrid Systems (if applicable)
Better still, if any component in the inspection
doesn't meet the Kia brand's standards, it will be either refurbished or
replaced with a genuine OEM Kia part to ensure that the vehicle you purchase is
of the highest possible quality.
Can any Kia be Certified?
To be considered for certification, a used Kia
car must be 5 model years old or newer and it must have less than 60,000 miles
on its odometer. Additionally, it must pass a 164-point inspection by a
certified Kia technician and a full CARFAX® vehicle history report. Models with
branded titles, fire, smoke, or water damage are not considered for
certification.
Who certifies these vehicles?
All Certified Pre-Owned Kia models are certified
by factory-trained Kia technicians to ensure they meet the high standards of
quality set out by the Kia brand.
Why is a CARFAX® Vehicle History Report so
important?
A CARFAX® Vehicle History Report is essential to
ensuring that only the best used Kia cars make the grade for the CPO Kia
program, weeding out models with fire damage, accident history, frame damage,
and more.
Is a Kia CPO vehicle available at a non- Kia
dealer?
CPO Kia cars can only be certified and sold at
an authorized Kia dealer like ours here in Willowbrook, IL.
What is included in the powertrain limited
warranty?
The Certified Pre-Owned Kia Powertrain Limited
Warranty covers the engine, transmission, and associated systems and
components.
Is there
a Certified Pre-Owned warranty transfer cost?
Yes, there is a one-time $40 fee for CPO
Warranty Transfer.
