Shopping for a used Kia? You'll find an extensive selection of pre-owned models here at Liberty Kia in Libertyville. To take the stress out of researching how to buy a used Kia near you, we've compiled a handy checklist of things to look at before you commit to a new-to-you set of wheels. 

Used Kia Inspection

On TV shows, people are often shown "inspecting" a used car by kicking the tires. In real life, it takes a bit more than that. You can rest assured that all pre-owned Kias that make it onto our lot at Liberty Kia undergo a comprehensive inspection by qualified Kia technicians. But there are still important questions you can ask for added peace of mind, such as:

  • Are there service records from the prior owner?

  • Has it ever been in an accident?

  • How many miles are on the odometer?

"Used" vs. "Certified Pre-Owned"

Ask whether the Kia car is certified pre-owned (CPO). A Certified Pre-Owned vehicle comes with the promise that it has been thoroughly inspected and meets a high standard. It also means that the car's odometer reads less than a specific number, and that the vehicle isn't older than a set number of years to qualify.

Any issues that were noted during the inspection must be repaired to earn the CPO seal of approval. In addition, a certified pre-owned vehicle typically comes with an extended warranty.

On the other hand, a non-certified used Kia will not come with the same type of extended warranty. It may also be a very old model or have many miles on it, which should make you question how much further it can go. At Liberty Kia, we carefully inspect all of our used vehicles to assess whether they meet our standards before offering them to our valued customers.
