Hyundai Takes Home IntelliChoice's 2013 Awards for Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles

Nov. 28, 2012 - PRLog -- The special manufacturer certified pre-owned programs at both Hyundai and Volvo have received great praise from IntelliChoice this year. Family Hyundai is proud to announce that this is the second year the automaker has received recognition for their Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) program, earning the “Best Popular Program” award.

Many drivers are unaware of just what a certified pre-owned vehicle is. There used to be an age where buying a pre-owned vehicle was risky, and while most of the unscrupulous dealerships have faded away, that stigma still lingers around. Automakers like Hyundai have initiated a program to help convince drivers of the viability of pre-owned vehicles by creating a certification program.

For Hyundai's CPO program, a vehicle may only be declared “certified” if it has passed a series of strict guidelines, including:

- A comprehensive 150-point inspection

- Fewer than 60,000 miles on the odometer

- The vehicle must be no more than five years old

In return, drivers receive more than just the assurance that their vehicle is up to the Hyundai standard of excellence — CPO Hyundai models also include a reinstated 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty, the remainder of the vehicle's limited warranty, and a CARFAX vehicle history report.

Drivers will even have the option to purchase extended warranty coverage, and enjoy such privileges as a 1-day rental car for repairs, 90 days of free SiriusXM satelltie radio, and 10-year/unlimited mileage roadside assistance.

IntelliChoice is the only source that routinely evaluates manufacturers' certification programs, giving their praise a significant amount of weight. Hyundai earned their award primarily through their warranty and inspection options, which both provide a solid foundation for a driver seeking a pre-owned vehicle they can trust.

In addition to carrying a range of pre-owned vehicles that include these award-winning CPO models, Family Hyundai also features the entire lineup of brand new Hyundai vehicles and offers on-site financing and auto service to Chicagoland drivers.
