What’s the difference between used and CPO?
When you start shopping for your new model, you may hear about used vehicles and CPO models. If you’re wondering about the difference between our used models and CPO, or Certified Pre-Owned, vehicles, the difference is that our CPO models are widely considered to be the top tier of used cars. The models will undergo and must pass a 152-point inspection, as well as satisfy the manufacturer’s requirements and meet age and mileage restrictions, which then thin out the models that are held in such high regard. If you’re wondering why our CPO models are a little more expensive, it is because they are bound to the highest standards.
What is good mileage on a used car?
As you can see from common information, modern vehicles and their mileage limits vary from model to model. You’ll notice that with innovative powertrains and increased efficiency, the modernization of today’s vehicles have helped models reach peak performance. Not only will they last for years to come, but they likely won’t hit maintenance issues until the 200,000-mile mark. Researching the model you’re looking for will go a long way towards picking the right vehicle for your lifestyle needs.
How do I know I’m receiving a fair offer?
Visiting our team here at Gettel Kia of Bradenton guarantees that you’ll get an excellent deal, but researching the vehicle you want is a great way to know how much you should be paying. Using sources like Kelley Blue Book® or Edmunds will provide you with accurate estimates of models’ values, and with these estimates changing every month or so, we recommend that you revisit these sites every couple of days. When you’re ready to buy, are you looking to trade in your old model as well? Use our trade estimator tool to see how much your vehicle is worth, giving you a more favorable bottom line!
Why should I buy from a dealership?
Not only will you get excellent customer service, a can-do attitude and incredible vehicles from Gettel Kia of Bradenton, but you’ll also find a warm and comfortable environment. Shopping with us means that you’ll get transparency and real-time information, as our team is obligated by law to give you all information pertaining to your vehicle.
