FAQs About Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles


FAQs About Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles at Lumberton Kia

Thinking about purchasing a Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) vehicle, but unsure? You are not alone, and you've come to the right place. At Lumberton Kia, we understand that savvy consumers want to know all the ins and outs before buying. That's why we've created this handy, no-frills FAQ to inform you about certified pre-owned vehicles.

What Is a Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle?

A Certified Pre-Owned Kia is a low-mileage, late-model vehicle that has undergone a rigorous inspection and meets specific manufacturer requirements. This isn't just any pre-owned vehicle. It's a vehicle that has been inspected, reconditioned, and provides a factory-backed warranty.

What's Included in the Inspection?

All Kia Certified Pre-Owned vehicles have an inspection by trained technicians, which consists of a rigorous 165-point inspection that includes:

  • Engine and Transmission Checks
  • Brake and Tire Assessments
  • Interior and Exterior Condition
  • Electrical Systems
  • HVAC and Emissions Systems

Anything that doesn’t meet Kia’s high standards is repaired or replaced before the vehicle earns certified status.

Do Certified Pre-Owned Kias Come with a Warranty?

Yes – and it’s one of the best out there. When you buy a certified Kia from Lumberton Kia, you’ll get:

  • 10-Year/100,000-Mile Powertrain Limited Warranty
  • 1-Year/12,000-Mile Platinum Comprehensive Warranty
  • 24-Hour Roadside Assistance
  • Trip Interruption Coverage

That’s real peace of mind for drivers in Lumberton, Fayetteville, and anywhere the road takes you.

Is a Vehicle History Report Included?

Absolutely. Every Certified Pre-Owned Kia comes with a free CARFAX® Vehicle History Report so you can see past ownership, service records, accident history, and more. No surprises. No guesswork.

What Are the Benefits of Buying a Certified Pre-Owned Kia?

Here’s why drivers from Red Springs to Hope Mills love buying certified:

  • Lower Price than New
  • Low Mileage and Recent Model Years
  • Thorough Inspection and Reconditioning
  • Manufacturer-Backed Warranty
  • Roadside Assistance and Travel Support
  • Better Resale Value than Typical Used Vehicles

Basically, it’s like buying new without the new-car price tag.

Can I Finance a Certified Pre-Owned Kia?

Yes, and many of our customers do! Our finance team at Lumberton Kia works with local and national lenders to offer flexible payment plans for certified vehicles. You can even apply online to get pre-approved before visiting the dealership.

Can I Trade In My Current Vehicle?

Definitely. We make it easy to trade in your vehicle and apply the value toward your certified Kia purchase. Use our online appraisal tool to get a quick estimate, then bring your vehicle in for a final offer.

What’s the Difference Between Certified Pre-Owned and “Used”?

Great question. All certified pre-owned vehicles are used, but not all used vehicles are certified. Certified models must:

  • Meet strict mileage and age limits.
  • Pass the 165-point inspection.
  • Be reconditioned to manufacturer standards.
  • Come with added warranty protection.

So when you buy Certified Pre-Owned, you're getting a used vehicle that feels much like new.
