Hyundai Certified Pre-Owned vs Used: What’s The Difference?

Used cars have become increasingly popular over time for a number of reasons – they’re reliable, often cheaper than their new counterparts, and you’ll have plenty of additional options to pick from. However, you should also consider our range of Hyundai Certified Pre-Owned vehicles which come with many extra benefits. To learn more, visit us at Sansone Hyundai today. 

Used vs. Certified Pre-Owned 

The biggest reason that most of our customers choose to go with a used Hyundai car is that it’s less expensive than purchasing a vehicle that’s brand new. Certain trim levels and features get discontinued over time, so if you’re searching for a model with a specific paint color or engine, buying a pre-owned version may be the only way to do so. Used cars also have a lower rate of depreciation. 

On the other hand, Certified Pre-Owned vehicles are slightly more expensive than used cars, but they come with benefits that you simply won’t see on standard pre-owned models. Each qualified Hyundai model is subject to a multi-point inspection and you’ll also receive a factory-backed warranty. 

The Hyundai Certified Pre-Owned Program 

As far as the Hyundai Certified Pre-Owned program goes, each qualifying vehicle must be less than five years old and have driven fewer than 60,000 miles. Every vehicle must pass a comprehensive 173-point inspection where our service experts will check everything from the tire tread depths to the brake pad thickness. You’ll also receive a CARFAX® Vehicle History Report™ that informs you of all previously reported incidents. 

Other benefits include a 10-Year/100,000-Mile Powertrain Limited Warranty and 10-Year/Unlimited Mileage Roadside Assistance and travel reimbursement if you ever experience a mechanical breakdown more than 150 miles away from your home. A three-month SiriusXM® Platinum Plan subscription trial is also included.
