Answers to Certified Pre-Owned Kia Questions

Buying a used vehicle doesn't mean you have to give up peace of mind. With a Kia Certified Pre-Owned vehicle from Plaza Kia near Queens, you'll get the value of a used vehicle with the confidence of factory-backed protection.

Here's everything local drivers should know about Kia's Certified Pre-Owned program.

What Makes a Kia Certified Pre-Owned?

A Certified Pre-Owned Kia is more than just a used model. To earn the Certified Pre-Owned title, a Kia must pass a detailed inspection, meet strict requirements, and come from an authorized Kia dealership, like Plaza Kia.

To qualify, vehicles must:

• Be No More than Five Model Years Old
• Have Fewer than 60,000 Miles
• Pass a 165-Point Inspection by Certified Kia Technicians
• Come with a Clean Title and Verified History Report

Only dealerships like Plaza Kia can sell true Kia Certified Pre-Owned vehicles. If it's not certified by Kia, it's just used.

How is it Different from a Regular Used Vehicle?

The biggest difference? Confidence. A used vehicle might come with a limited or third-party warranty, if any. A Kia Certified Pre-Owned vehicle, on the other hand, includes:

• 165-Point Inspection by Trained Kia Technicians
• 10-Year/100,000-Mile Powertrain Warranty
• 1-Year/12,000-Mile Comprehensive Platinum Coverage
• Free CARFAX® Vehicle History Report
• 24-Hour Roadside Assistance For 10 Years

You're not just getting a vehicle, you're getting long-term protection and support.

What Does the Certified Pre-Owned Warranty Cover?

Kia offers two levels of coverage that come standard with each Certified Pre-Owned vehicle:

• 10-Year/100,000-Mile Limited Powertrain Warranty: This covers major components like the engine, transmission, and drive systems.
• 1-Year/12,000-Mile Platinum Coverage: Covers a wide range of non-powertrain components, including electrical, steering, suspension, and climate control systems.

It's all backed directly by Kia, with no third-party contracts or fine print.

Are There Any Extra Perks?

Yes! They're more than just nice-to-haves. When you buy a Kia Certified Pre-Owned vehicle from Plaza Kia, you'll also get:

• Travel Breakdown Coverage (Reimbursement for Lodging and Meals if Your Vehicle Breaks Down Away from Home)
• Rental Car Allowance for Covered Repairs
• 10-Year Roadside Assistance (Includes Jump Starts, Towing, Lockouts, and Flat Tire Help)
• SiriusXM® 3-Month Trial (On Eligible Models)
• Complimentary CARFAX® Report

All of this adds even more value to your Certified Pre-Owned purchase and gives you extra peace of mind from day one.
