What's the difference between used and CPO?
We’ve mentioned our Certified Pre-Owned inventory, but what makes those models stand out from the rest of our used car lineup? Our CPO vehicles are a cut above the rest because they undergo a strict 173-point inspection from our service technicians. To be considered for this stamp of approval, the model has to be newer than six model years and have less than 80,000 miles. What’s the big deal about this certification anyway, and how does it affect the driver? Well, every CPO car receives an extensive warranty package that will protect your ride for years to come. Still nervous about the vehicle’s history? Don’t sweat it: We provide a detailed CARFAX® Vehicle History Report™ that will ease all your concerns.
What is good mileage on a used car?
With the ongoing advancement of technology, models continue to surpass the mileage limit at which vehicles used to be considered "undrivable." Many modern cars have a lifespan of around 200,000 miles (some can even last until 300,000 miles). However, don’t roll the dice on this — do your research into the make and model of the car you’re interested in and get an understanding of what the projected longevity would be for that vehicle. The lifespan of a car relies heavily on its characteristics that are specific to the make and model.
How do I know that I'm getting a good deal?
When you shop for a used car at Hyundai of Athens, you don’t have to worry about whether or not you’re getting a good deal. However, we still encourage our customers to do their research and come prepared when they visit our dealership. Put your trust in tools like Kelley Blue Book® or Edmunds, where you can get accurate estimates of the current values of the models you have on your list. We also provide a handy Kelley Blue Book® trade-in estimator if you’re interested in selling your current ride to us and saving even more on your next pre-owned purchase.
Why should I buy from a dealership?
Buying from a dealership helps you avoid any sketchy transactions that you may experience elsewhere. When you shop with us, we are legally obligated to be fully transparent about every detail of the pre-owned vehicle you’re interested in. It may seem like the cheaper option to forgo visiting a dealership, but you’re actually saving a lot in the long run, especially if you take advantage of our pre-owned vehicle specials and financing options. Buying from a private party doesn’t promise the same clarity that we can. From fair pricing to a service department you can lean on, we’ve got your back.
