If you’re interested in buying your next vehicle, you’ll need to decide if you want a certified pre-owned Hyundai Sonata or a standard used model. While both vehicles typically cost less than a newer vehicle, they have their share of differences. Lester Glenn Hyundai of Toms River highlights what sets each option apart.
What Is a Hyundai Certified Used Vehicle?
A Hyundai Certified Used vehicle is a used vehicle that is thoroughly inspected and reconditioned before being sold. This 173-point inspection evaluates systems such as the transmission and engine, along with cosmetic features like the condition of your fabric or leather seating. To qualify for the certified pre-owned program, vehicles must also meet specific criteria, such as having fewer than 80,000 miles on their odometer and being less than six model years old.
Hyundai Certified Used models come with a complimentary CARFAX® report highlighting their ownership and maintenance history. They come with a 10-year, 100,000-mile limited powertrain warranty from the vehicles original in-service date. They also include 10 years of unlimited-mile 24/7 roadside assistance.
What Is a Used Hyundai Vehicle?
Used Hyundai vehicles typically have at least one previous owner and cost less than newer models. Unlike certified pre-owned Hyundai vehicles, they can be more than six years old, regardless of mileage. They don’t undergo the same inspection process as certified models and are more likely to have some wear and tear. Some used models also have little or no warranty coverage.
