Buying Kia Certified Pre-Owned vs. a New Kia Car

When shopping for a new Kia car, you may come across the term "Certified Pre-Owned" (CPO) and wonder about the difference between it and buying new. The team at Folsom Lake Kia is going over the advantages of each route, so you can find the right option for you.

Advantages of Kia Certified Pre-Owned

Certified Pre-Owned Kia vehicles carry several advantages. Every CPO Kia vehicle must undergo a stringent 165-point inspection to ensure that it meets Kia's quality standards in regard to performance and drive comfort. If it fails to live up to expectations, we perform the proper repairs to get it up to par.

Only vehicles released within the last five years and with less than 60,000 miles on them qualify as Kia CPO. To back up these vehicles even further, Kia provides CPO owners with ten years of its unlimited mile roadside assistance program, giving drivers 24/7 complimentary emergency service. Top that off with a 10 year/100,000 mile limited powertrain warranty, and you can truly see how Kia is willing to stand behind their product.

Of course, one of the main advantages of buying CPO is the reduced cost. If the Kia Telluride has caught your eye but the price of a new model is giving you pause, the Kia CPO program may give you the route to afford one.

Advantages of a New Kia Car

Kia is always improving and upgrading their vehicles, so a new Kia car brings a host of advantages in comparison to CPO. Inventory options for CPO vehicles can be restrictive, but when you decide on a new vehicle, you can customize it with all the gadgets to maximize your driving experience.

In today's day and age, tech enhancements, especially on cars, are always evolving and proliferating. A new Kia vehicle will offer the latest multimedia technology and navigation interfaces to bring convenience to your fingertips. This also goes for safety improvements - newer vehicles also have more thorough and reliable safety systems, so for a family vehicle, new may be the best option.
