What is Kia Certified Pre-owned?
When purchasing a used car, there’s always a bit of uncertainty involved. Thankfully, with Kia-certified pre-owned vehicles. These cars have undergone a comprehensive 165-point inspection by Kia factory-trained technicians. Only those that meet the highest quality standards have the CPO designation. To ensure that every aspect of the car is up to par, any parts that fail to meet the standards are replaced with factory-authorized parts. This meticulous inspection process and certification guarantee each vehicle is reliable and of superior quality before being offered for sale.
