FAQs About Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles in San Antonio TX

Thinking about buying a certified pre-owned vehicle? You’re not alone. Certified pre-owned vehicles are becoming an increasingly popular choice for smart buyers in San Antonio, TX, who want quality, reliability, and value – all in one package. At Red McCombs Hyundai Northwest, we believe in helping you make confident, informed decisions. Here’s everything you need to know.

Q: What is a Certified Pre-Owned vehicle?

A Certified Pre-Owned vehicle is a used vehicle that has undergone a detailed inspection and meets the strict standards set by the manufacturer – in this case, Hyundai. Not all pre-owned vehicles make the cut. Only late-model, low-mileage Hyundai vehicles with a clean title and solid maintenance history are eligible.

Once a vehicle qualifies, it goes through a 173-point inspection by Hyundai-trained technicians. That means everything from the engine and transmission to the brakes, tires, and tech features is reviewed and reconditioned as needed.

Q: How is a Certified Pre-Owned Hyundai different from a regular pre-owned vehicle?

It comes down to confidence and coverage.

When you buy a typical pre-owned vehicle, you're usually getting the vehicle “as-is,” which means any issues that come up are on you. With a Certified Pre-Owned Hyundai from Red McCombs Hyundai Northwest, you’re getting:

• A Manufacturer-Backed Limited Warranty
• Comprehensive Vehicle Inspection
• Free CARFAX® Vehicle History Report
• Roadside Assistance
• Eligibility for Hyundai’s Vehicle Protection Plans

Basically, it feels a lot closer to new-vehicle peace of mind – but with a pre-owned price tag.

Q: What does the Hyundai Certified Pre-Owned warranty include?

Every Hyundai Certified Pre-Owned vehicle includes two types of warranty coverage:

• 5-Year/60,000-Mile New Vehicle Limited Warranty (Remainder from Original In-Service Date)
• 10-Year/100,000-Mile CPO Powertrain Limited Warranty from the Original In-Service Date

You also get 10 years of 24/7 Roadside Assistance from the original in-service date with no deductible.

Q: Is financing available for Certified Pre-Owned vehicles?

Yes, and the options are better than you might think. Hyundai Motor Finance offers special rates on Certified Pre-Owned vehicles, often with terms similar to new vehicles. Many customers are surprised at how affordable monthly payments can be, especially compared to financing a pre-owned vehicle without the added protections of a Certified Pre-Owned model.

You can even get pre-approved online through our secure finance application to make the process quicker when you visit our San Antonio showroom.

Q: Are Certified Pre-Owned vehicles more expensive than pre-owned vehicles?

They can be – but for good reason.

While a Certified Pre-Owned Hyundai may cost slightly more upfront than a comparable non-certified pre-owned vehicle, you're also getting extra coverage, a multi-point inspection, and added peace of mind. Think of it like this: you’re paying a little more to avoid unexpected repairs later on. In many cases, the difference is small compared to what you’d spend on a repair out of pocket.

Q: Do Certified Pre-Owned vehicles have low mileage?

Yes. Hyundai Certified Pre-Owned vehicles must have fewer than 80,000 miles on the odometer and be less than six years old from the original in-service date. That means you're shopping vehicles that are still in their prime, often with modern tech features, updated safety systems, and current styling.

Q: What kind of vehicles are available as Certified Pre-Owned?

At Red McCombs Hyundai Northwest, we regularly stock Certified Pre-Owned versions of top Hyundai models like:

• Hyundai Elantra
• Hyundai Sonata
• Hyundai Santa Fe
• Hyundai Tucson
• Hyundai Palisade

Inventory changes frequently, so if you see something you like, don’t wait.

Q: Can I trade in my current vehicle?
