Certified Pre-Owned Hyundai: What's Included?

The term "Certified Pre-Owned" is well-known in the car industry, but oftentimes there are questions of what exactly makes the difference between a Certified Pre-Owned Hyundai and one that's simply pre-owned.

Certified Hyundai vehicles have great value and are backed by an amazing program; Hyundai has received the IntelliChoice Certified Pre-Owned Program Award for two years running! At Burlington Hyundai, we're happy to certify a qualified pre-owned Hyundai for you before your purchase as long as it meets a few specifications*, so take a look at what's included below so you can decide if a Certified Pre-Owned Hyundai is what's best for you!

1. 10 year/100,000 mile Powertrain Limited Warranty
Repair/replacement of powertrain components (selected engine/transmission/transaxle components)
*With a used Hyundai that's not Certified, you would have powertrain components covered through the 5 year/60,000 mile Limited Warranty directly below:

2. Remainder of 5 year/60,000 mile Limited Warranty
Repair or replacement of any component manufactured or originally installed by Hyundai that is defected in material or factory workmanship, under normal use and maintenance

Burlington Hyundai Staff Feature - Rick Brennan

Rick Brennan, Burlington Hyundai Sales Consultant

Rick Brennan is a Vermont native who's a huge fan of hunting -- even the background of his computer is "Big Buck!" His favorite car to sell is the Hyundai Sonata, but he drives a SVT Cobra Mustang. This NASCAR fan enjoys a good meal at Texas Roadhouse, which is also the name of his favorite movie (Road House). If he were a car, Rick says he'd be a classic Corvette.

And see what Rick's customers are saying about him:

"This is the second car i have purchased from this dealership. Both times my experience was good, however this time the service I received was far better than my first time. I know when its time for my next car I'll be going back to see Rick! He was very helpful and made my buying experience Great!"

"Richard Brennan was a friendly, knowledgeable salesman who made the experience of buying my new Sonata a pleasure. I've recommended the Sonata and Burlington Hyundai to anyone I know in the market for a new car. Thank you very much for the excellent buying experience! The car is fantastic!"

"Richard was really helpful and worked with us to get a good trade-in on our old car, and was very understanding of the type of vehicle we were looking for. He was also very accommodating in arranging the most convenient method and schedule for payment on the car."
