Becoming a Certified Pre-Owned Kia
Many of our Saint Charles, MO customers ask us how a used Kia becomes certified and what the label means. The CPO program is a way of identifying used Kia vehicles that meet the manufacturer's highest standards for a pre-owned automobile. Being considered for the CPO program requires that the Kia in question is no older than five years old and has less than 60,000 miles on the odometer. The vehicle must go through a 164-point inspection that thoroughly goes through the vehicle, from headlights to the drivetrain. This inspection is done by a factory-trained, Kia-certified technician who conducts a road test on the vehicle additionally, to make sure that the car, truck, minivan, or SUV performs to those lofty standards as well.
The Advantages to Owning a Certified Pre-Owned Kia
Once the CPO Kia has passed the inspection process, it receives a 12-month/12,000-mile Platinum Coverage, as well as a 10-year/10,000-mile Limited Powertrain Warranty. This means that Kia believes in these vehicles so much that they guarantee their quality with a warranty. These warranties cover everything from the engine and transmission components to the electrical system.
In addition, the CPO car, truck, minivan, or SUV comes with 24-hour Roadside Assistance and Towing, as well as Rental, Travel, and Breakdown Coverage. In the event of an unexpected mechanical failure, Kia will make help your automobile gets to a Kia certified dealership where the work can be done.
