Hyundai Certified Pre-Owned vs Pre-Owned Cars in Lebanon, TN

Choosing your next vehicle often comes down to a classic debate: should you go with a brand-new car or a pre-owned model? It’s a common dilemma, and as a family-owned dealership in Lebanon, TN, we at Wilson County Hyundai understand the confusion. That’s why we help car shoppers navigate this choice: the fresh-from-the-factory confidence of a new car versus the smart financial value of a used one. But what if you didn't have to choose between the two?

Fortunately, there’s an option that offers the confidence of a new car with the value of a pre-owned one. In fact, there are two paths to that "best of both worlds" feeling: the comprehensive Hyundai Certified program and our wide selection of traditional pre-owned vehicles.

Whether you're looking for an efficient sedan like the Hyundai Elantra or a versatile SUV such as the Hyundai Santa Fe, you'll find outstanding quality on either path. To help you decide which route is right for you, let’s take a closer look at what makes either option a good one.

Understanding Your Pre-Owned Options

At Wilson County Hyundai, we offer a wide selection of vehicles to fit every need and budget. While all our vehicles meet high standards of quality, it is helpful to know the terminology.

• Pre-Owned Vehicle: This term applies to any vehicle that has had at least one previous owner. These cars, trucks, and SUVs offer excellent value and come in a wide variety of model years, mileage, and conditions.
• Hyundai Certified Vehicle: This is a special category of pre-owned Hyundai. To earn certification, a vehicle must meet a strict set of standards established by Hyundai itself.

The Advantage of a Certified Hyundai

• Strict Age Requirement: The vehicle must be six model years old or newer. This ensures every certified car is a recent model.
• Low Mileage Standard: It must have fewer than 80,000 miles on the odometer. This is a key benchmark for the vehicle's condition.
• Comprehensive Inspection: A factory-trained technician performs a detailed 173-point inspection covering mechanical, safety, and appearance items.
• Transparent History: The vehicle must have a clean, non-branded title, which is verified with a complimentary CARFAX® Vehicle History Report™.

Confidence Backed By Hyundai

The certification process is designed to provide extra peace of mind. Hyundai backs each certified vehicle with strong warranty coverage and valuable owner perks that are not available on traditional pre-owned cars.

Warranty coverage: This is a key benefit. It includes two main parts:

• New Vehicle Limited Warranty: You receive the remainder of the original 5-year/60,000-mile new vehicle limited warranty.
• Powertrain Limited Warranty: Hyundai also provides a 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain limited warranty for its certified vehicles.

Roadside Assistance: The program includes 10 years of unlimited mileage roadside assistance.

Valuable Perks: Owners receive rental car reimbursement for covered repairs up to $35 per day for up to 10 days. Travel interruption reimbursement is also included for breakdowns more than 150 miles from home. Finally, every Hyundai that has earned certification comes with a complimentary 90-day trial of the SiriusXM® Platinum Plan.
