Why Choose a Certified Pre-Owned Kia Vehicle in Frederick, MD?
Certified pre-owned vehicles combine some of the best attributes of new and used models. Essentially, you get the peace of mind that comes with a factory-backed warranty – often associated with new automobiles – without having to pay the brand-new sticker price. There are many benefits to choosing a CPO Kia outside of the warranty, too. So, what exactly do you get with the Kia Certified Pre-Owned program?
For starters, all certified pre-owned Kia cars have to pass a rigorous 165-point inspection that covers nearly every system of the vehicle, so you get a model that's been vetted by factory-trained technicians. Additionally, the vehicle must be less than six model years old and have fewer than 80,000 miles logged, giving you a relatively young automobile.
Certified vs. Used: What's the Difference?
The main differences between certified and used vehicles are the requirements they must meet and the additional protections they come with (or don't). While a standard used Kia doesn't have to undergo the same inspection process or adhere to mileage and age restrictions, it's important to note that it's not a reflection of the vehicle's quality. It just means that it won't come with the same warranty coverage and benefits of a CPO model. We inspect and, if necessary, recondition all used cars and SUVs that go up for sale on our lot.
Both certified and used models come in various price points. In fact, it's not uncommon to encounter certified models in our selection of used cars under $20K.
