When the weather warms up and summer road trip plans start taking shape, many Missouri drivers start rethinking their current vehicle. Whether you’re headed to Table Rock Lake, making the weekend drive to St. Louis, or commuting around Independence, you want a car that’s reliable, comfortable, and wallet-friendly. That’s where the Kia Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) program comes in.
At Bob Sight Kia in Independence, MO, we offer a wide selection of Kia Certified Pre-Owned vehicles that give you the feel and confidence of a new vehicle without the new car price tag. Here's why a Kia CPO vehicle might be the smartest summer purchase you make.
What Is a Kia Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle?
A Kia Certified Pre-Owned vehicle is more than just a "used" car. These vehicles go through a rigorous inspection and reconditioning process to meet Kia's strict standards. Every Kia CPO car or SUV must:
- Be five model years old or newer
- Have fewer than 60,000 miles
- Pass a 165-point quality assurance inspection
- Include a CARFAX Vehicle History Report
Only vehicles that meet all of these criteria are certified. This means when you buy a CPO Kia, you know exactly what you're getting. A thoroughly inspected, quality-checked vehicle that's ready for summer miles.
Built-In Peace of Mind: Warranty and Coverage
One of the biggest advantages of buying a Kia Certified Pre-Owned vehicle is the manufacturer-backed warranty coverage:
- 10-Year/100,000-Mile Limited Powertrain Warranty from the original in-service date
- 1-Year/12,000-Mile Comprehensive Platinum Coverage from your purchase date
- Roadside Assistance for 10 years/unlimited mileage
- Rental car and travel reimbursement in case of breakdowns away from home
This warranty package is one of the best in the industry and helps you drive confidently, whether you’re commuting through Kansas City traffic or taking the family to Ha Ha Tonka State Park.
