Why Buy A Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) Car?

At Ball Kia, we’re proud to offer drivers in San Diego, Chula Vista, and National City the best selection of Certified Pre-Owned Kia vehicles. If you’re searching for a reliable, high-quality Kia without the new car price tag, a Certified Kia is the smart choice. Each CPO model has been carefully inspected, reconditioned, and backed by a factory warranty for complete peace of mind.

What Does Kia Certified Pre-Owned Mean?

A Kia Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) vehicle isn’t just any used car—it’s a Kia that’s passed a comprehensive 165-point inspection to meet Kia’s strict standards for performance, safety, and quality. Every CPO Kia must be less than six years old and have fewer than 80,000 miles. This ensures that every vehicle meets the high expectations drivers have for the Kia brand.

In addition to meeting these qualifications, all Certified Kia vehicles come with a 10-year/100,000-mile limited powertrain warranty and a 1-year/12,000-mile Platinum Comprehensive Coverage. Drivers also enjoy perks such as 24-hour roadside assistance, a free CARFAX® Vehicle History Report™, and travel breakdown coverage—making CPO Kias a worry-free way to buy used.

Kia Pre-Owned vs. Kia Certified Pre-Owned

Wondering about the difference between a pre-owned Kia and a Certified Pre-Owned Kia? The key distinction comes down to inspection, warranty, and overall peace of mind. While all our used Kia vehicles are carefully inspected for quality, a Certified Pre-Owned Kia has been factory-certified and includes manufacturer-backed protection and benefits that standard used cars do not.

If you value added assurance, warranty protection, and vehicle quality that’s been verified by Kia experts, a Certified Pre-Owned Kia is the ideal choice. However, if you’re shopping on a tighter budget, our pre-owned Kia inventory offers many excellent options at a more affordable price point. Either way, Ball Kia ensures top-notch reliability and service for every vehicle we sell.
