Kia CPO Compared To Used Cars in Knoxville, TN


Kia CPO vs Used Cars


The Difference Between Kia CPO and Used Cars

Kia cars have a reputation for holding their value, which is why you can feel good about buying even pre-owned Kia vehicles. When cared for well, Kia cars retain most of their quality, so shopping used is a surefire way to get a fantastic deal on a high-quality vehicle. Boost your value by opting for a Certified Pre-owned (CPO) Kia, special used cars for sale alongside our other models at Rusty Wallace Kia in Knoxville, TN. All our used cars are guaranteed to be in excellent condition, and we only sell them after receiving the go-ahead from our mechanics. Still, the CPO inventory for sale at Rusty Wallace Kia also has the approval of the manufacturer, along with some limited warranties.

What Is the Difference Between Certified Pre-Owned and Used?

Several aspects distinguish a Certified Pre-Owned Kia from a standard used option. For starters, our used options for sale at Rusty Wallace Kia include cars from various manufacturers, while the CPO options are all from Kia. The Kia CPO vehicles must also pass specific age and mileage prerequisites before being considered for certification from Kia. On top of excluding cars older than a certain number of years with a set number of miles, Kia CPO vehicles must also pass a lengthy inspection. Now, you might be worried this means that our non-certified inventory is lacking. However, you can rest easy knowing we spend time ensuring all our cars for sale are fit for life in Knoxville, TN. Certification is just extra reassurance, and these cars come with manufacturer’s warranties.

Kia Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles

As mentioned, Kia cars must be somewhat new to receive certification from the manufacturer. That is, they must have fewer than 60,000 miles or five model years under their belt. Then, the car undergoes a 165-point inspection by a Kia-trained technician, many of whom we staff at our dealership. Cars that receive certification from Kia also come with a CarFax report and a 1-year comprehensive warranty from the new date of purchase. On top of that, Kia CPO vehicles retain the remainder of the 10-year/100,000-mile warranty that initially came with the car.
