Why a Hyundai CPO or Recent Model Purchase from Hyundai of Mankato is a Smart Decision

Purchasing a new car is great. The immaculate interior, scratch and blemish-free exterior, all the latest features, and the security that for quite a while, if anything goes wrong, it isn’t coming out of your pocket. However, it can be expensive. So, the alternative is purchasing a used vehicle. 

What is the underlying goal of almost every used car shopper? Find one that is as close to new as possible. That is why we seek low mileage, read vehicle history reports, and scrutinize the visible condition. We try to get as close to that new car purchase experience as possible with our used car budget. 

At Hyundai of Mankato, we understand your concerns and have two solutions to offer. The first is the Hyundai Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) program, a testament to Hyundai’s commitment to providing reliable, high-quality vehicles. The second is our own available 20-year / 200,000-mile powertrain warranty, our assurance of the durability and longevity of our used vehicles. This blog post will guide you through both, giving you a comprehensive understanding of their benefits and peace of mind.

What is Hyundai CPO?

Hyundai Motor Company administers the Hyundai CPO program through dealers like us to give used Hyundai shoppers the peace of mind that comes with purchasing a new Hyundai. For a used car to be certified by Hyundai, it must have these qualifications:

• A Hyundai model
• Be newer than six model years old
• Have fewer than 80,000 miles
• Pass Hyundai’s 150-point inspection
• Must have a clean, non-branded title as verified by a CARFAX® Vehicle History Report™ (non-branded indicates the model was owned by a private individual as opposed to a rental fleet or Hyundai program car)
• All maintenance services must be up to date, and any recalls covered
• All vital fluids, tire tread, and brake pad thickness are up-to-date and meet the Hyundai Certified Used Vehicle Standards

If a car meets these requirements and is currently owned by a Hyundai dealer, it will qualify as a Hyundai Certified Pre-Owned vehicle. Every buyer who purchases a Hyundai CPO model receives the following benefits:

• 10-year/Unlimited Mileage Roadside Assistance
• 10-year/100,000-mile Powertrain Limited Warranty from original in-service date and 0 miles
• 1st Day rental car for covered repairs – up to $35 per day for up to ten days.
• Travel Breakdown Protection
• Complimentary CARFAX® Vehicle History Report™
• Complimentary 3-month Platinum SiriusXM® trial
• Free 3-month subscription to Bluelink® Connected Care and Remote Packages (on Bluelink® equipped vehicles)

As you can see, this program eliminates much of the worry associated with purchasing a used car while giving you some additional new-car-like perks. Service professionals perform the inspection program at our dealership, and Hyundai wants to ensure there are no detectable problems as much as you would like to avoid them. If anything does come up, the car can be serviced at any Hyundai dealer. The roadside assistance and travel breakdown protection also gives you peace of mind that you can take this car on long trips without costly consequences. The Hyundai of Mankato site enables you to filter for only CPO Hyundai models in a single easy step. 

Hyundai of Mankato’s Used Car 20-year / 200,000 Powertrain Warranty
