  Kia America recently reached a major milestone by selling one million certified pre-owned vehicles. While hitting the one-million mark for any type of vehicle is impressive, certified pre-owned car, truck, and SUV sales carry a unique significance of their own.
What Is a Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle?
Certified pre-owned vehicles are carefully restored to like-new condition before being resold. Each one undergoes a comprehensive inspection to identify and repair any mechanical or performance issues, as well as cosmetic flaws that could impact the overall driving experience. Essentially, you're investing in a used vehicle that feels as close as possible to a brand-new one—just like the original owner experienced.
The Added Benefits of Choosing Certified
When you purchase a certified vehicle, you often receive an extended warranty—typically an additional year of coverage. If the original warranty has expired, coverage usually starts from your purchase date. You may also enjoy perks such as 24/7 roadside assistance and other benefits that aren't typically included with standard used vehicles.
Why Certified Vehicles Retain Their Value
Certified pre-owned Kias are known for retaining their value well over time. When you're ready to trade in your vehicle, you’ll likely receive more in return. Their strong resale value is partly due to the rigorous maintenance they receive, and also because used vehicles in general depreciate more slowly than new ones.
