Why Kia Certified Pre-Owned Cars are a Smart Choice!

Posted on August 16, 2023

For many people in the market to buy a car, investing in a brand-new vehicle might not fit into the budget. Thankfully, there is no reason to despair: A Kia Certified Pre-Owned car is a terrific and affordable option. These vehicles can provide many great benefits, including an extended warranty, top-notch 24/7 roadside assistance, and the comfort of knowing you're driving a thoroughly inspected vehicle.

Warranty Protection

A warranty can offer great peace of mind, especially when purchasing a used vehicle. The Kia Certified Pre-Owned Program provides the option for an extended warranty that can last up to an additional four years. Also, the Mechanical Breakdown Protection Warranty makes travelling less stressful, knowing that most issues will be covered.

The warranty even has an allowance to reimburse you for food and accommodations if your vehicle has an issue when travelling. You will even receive a rental car if you need it. Another great bonus is that the extended warranty is transferable when you sell your vehicle to another private owner. 

You can also opt into various additional coverage options as part of the program. The six-month dent removal coverage will fix minor dents on the exterior. The key and keyless remote replacement coverage offers 12 months of complimentary service to replace lost, damaged or stolen keys or remotes.

The Kia Protect Anti-Theft feature has pre-registered numbers embedded on the body panels throughout the vehicle as a deterrent to potential thieves. The numbers add the Kia to a national database to increase its traceability. Plus, the feature covers any incurred costs from insurance deductibles if your vehicle is stolen.

Low-Interest Financing

Seeking financing when purchasing a new or used vehicle can be a stressful experience depending on your credit history. A certified used car will often qualify for lower finance rates than what brand-new vehicles offer. 

If you need to work on some financing options, the Kia dealership staff have extensive experience and can provide many alternatives to help to purchase your certified pre-owned vehicle.

Faultless Vehicles Pass the Inspection

All Kia Certified Pre-Owned cars undergo rigorous testing and inspection before arriving on the lot for sale. Each used Kia gets a 135-point vehicle inspection to ensure that every part of the vehicle meets the high standards to earn certification. The meticulous testing covers the engine, suspension, electrical system, seats, seat belts, brakes, transmission, system warning, doors, exhaust system, and much more. 

You can be confident that your car is road-ready and safe. If you still have concerns, Kia has a 30-day/2,000 km exchange privilege, where you can return your vehicle for another one. 

Free History Report

Kia stands by the reliability of their pre-owned vehicles, and each one must pass the CarProof vehicle eligibility test. A CarProof report includes information if the car has been in an accident, if the car was imported from the United States, where the vehicle was registered, and what the car's branding is. The history report is free for all Kia Certified Pre-Owned cars.

Free Service & Maintenance 

Once you purchase a certified pre-owned Kia, you will be covered in case any repairs or checkups are needed. Just present your Kia Privilege Program card for three free oil and filter changes. 

You are also automatically enrolled in the Kia Member Rewards Program with benefits including a fully fueled Kia upon delivery, local shuttle service, a multi-point inspection with every service visit, free windshield washer fill-up, preferential rates for car rentals across Canada, a 24/7 Roadside Assistance program for five years or 100,000km, and points that can be used for maintenance services or to purchase parts or accessories.

Roadside Assistance 

The Extra Care Roadside Assistance Program is a 24-hour-a-day, seven-day-a-week service available anywhere in Canada and the continental United States. The program covers various emergencies, including tow service, gas delivery, lock-out service, battery boost, and tire change. 

Owners will take comfort in knowing the services are available for the first 60 months or 100,000km, whichever comes first. The plan covers the registered vehicle no matter who is driving the car.
