Buying a used car can be a major risk, especially since a mechanical problem could cost you thousands to fix. Fortunately, most automakers have a Certified Pre-Owned program that offers manufacturer-backed warranties and inspections to ensure each vehicle is held to the highest standard. Before a car can become a Certified Pre-Owned Hyundai, it has to meet quite a few requirements.

While a Certified Pre-Owned vehicle may cost a little more, the benefits and peace of mind vastly outweigh the price difference.

There are plenty of Hyundai Certified Pre-Owned vehicles to choose from at The Duell's Hyundai of Evansville!

First, a used Hyundai must be less than five years old and have no more than 60,000 miles on the odometer. Should a vehicle meet those requirements, it must then have a clean title that's verified by a CARFAX Vehicle History Report. Finally, the vehicle must undergo a 173-point inspection performed by a manufacturer-trained technician.

The 173-point inspection examines each part of the vehicle to ensure it's in like-new operating condition. The Sonata Hybrid must undergo a 154-point inspection while the Equus has to pass a 166-point inspection. If a car fails just one point, it's reconditioned or rejected from the Certified Pre-Owned program.

If a vehicle passes the inspection and meets all other requirements, it then becomes a Certified Pre-Owned Hyundai and comes with more than $2,000 in extra benefits.

Certified Pre-Owned Hyundai vehicles are covered by a manufacturer-backed 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty as well as a 10 years of roadside assistance coverage. If the vehicle breaks down away from home, drivers will be reimbursed for rental car and travel interruption expenses.

Upon purchase, all vehicles come with a certified CARFAX Vehicle History Report that details the service, title, and repair history. Finally, all Certified Pre-Owned Hyundai models come with a three-month All-Access trial of SiriusXM Satellite Radio.

While a Certified Pre-Owned vehicle may cost a little more, the benefits and peace of mind vastly outweigh the price difference.
