Buying a pre-owned Kia has cost-saving upsides, but there could be "unknowns" about the maintenance history. Rusty Wallace Kia Morristown encourages shoppers with such concerns to look at the Kia vehicles in our Certified Pre-Owned inventory. CPO models are different from used vehicles because they undergo a necessary inspection and come with additional bonuses that make the deal further financially rewarding for Jefferson City drivers.
The CPO Program
The examination involves putting the Kia vehicle through an intensive inspection. The inspection would involve a technician reviewing many components to check for maintenance troubles. With some models, the technician may perform repairs and refurbishments. Ultimately, the vehicle must pass the maintenance inspection to receive its certification.
We want to note vehicles can't be past a certain age or exceed odometer mileage cutoffs. This way, the vehicles may not be subject to excessive wear and tear or near a major tune-up. Buyers who purchase a Kia Telluride, Kia Seltos, Kia Sportage, or another model may have fewer maintenance worries than what might be the case when buying used near White Pine.
Warranty Coverage
A manufacturer's warranty may cover the repair costs if an unforeseen problem arises because of defective parts or other quality issues.
Bean Station customers could check the warranty's specific terms for what is covered under the 10-year/100,000-mile Powertrain Limited Warranty coverage. While customers may expect a warranty with a new car purchase near Knoxville, TN, they could be unaware that certified pre-owned models also have coverage.
Kia offers a second warranty, a Platinum Coverage plan that runs for one year/12,000 miles and begins on the purchase date.
Help When Needed
While a warranty could cover costs if a vehicle breaks down, how does the driver deal with the immediate problem of a disabled vehicle? Calling a roadside assistance service may help, and CPO purchases come with such a benefit. Vehicles could suffer problems for many reasons, including overheating or running out of fuel. Roadside assistance companies exist to help in such scenarios.
