Shopping for a vehicle? You’ve probably noticed two categories on our lot – Certified Pre-Owned and Pre-Owned. While both offer great value, they’re not quite the same. At Gettel Hyundai of Lakewood, we’re here to make sure you know exactly what you’re getting so you can drive away confident in your choice.

What is a Certified Pre-Owned Hyundai?

A Certified Pre-Owned Hyundai is more than just a pre-owned vehicle – it’s one that has passed Hyundai’s rigorous 173-point inspection and meets strict eligibility standards. Here’s what makes a Certified Pre-Owned Hyundai special:

  • Age & Mileage Limits: Must be newer than 6 years old and have fewer than 80,000 miles.
  • 173-Point Inspection: Every system, from brakes to infotainment, is checked by Hyundai-trained technicians.
  • Comprehensive Warranty Coverage: Includes the remainder of the 5-year/60,000-mile New Vehicle Limited Warranty plus a 10-year/100,000-mile Certified Pre-Owned Powertrain Limited Warranty.
  • Free CARFAX® Vehicle History Report: Know your Hyundai’s story before you buy.
  • Roadside Assistance: 24/7 coverage with towing, lockout help, and more.

Think of Certified Pre-Owned as the “best of both worlds” – you get pre-owned pricing with near-new peace of mind.

What is a Pre-Owned Hyundai?

A Pre-Owned Hyundai is any Hyundai model that’s been owned before but hasn’t gone through the Certified Pre-Owned certification process. While it doesn’t come with the same Hyundai-backed warranties, it still offers plenty of perks:

  • Lower Price Point: Often more affordable than Certified Pre-Owned vehicles.
  • Wider Selection: Includes older models, higher mileage options, and vehicles from other brands.
  • Great Condition Options: Many have been well cared for and still have years of reliable service ahead.

A pre-owned Hyundai is a smart choice if you’re budget-conscious, know what you want, and are looking for a reliable daily driver without extra certification costs.
