USED CAR MODELS QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

How does a used Hyundai qualify for the Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) warranty transfer?
▼

A CPO Hyundai at Don Wood in Athens, Ohio must:

  • Pass a rigorous 173-point inspection
  • Be no more than 6 model years old
  • Have fewer than 80,000 miles

The best part: The remainder of the 10-Year/100,000-Mile Powertrain Warranty is transferred to the CPO owner, giving you coverage that rivals most new car warranties. It's the strongest CPO advantage in the industry.

When buying a used model, should I prioritize low mileage or recent model year?
▼

Prioritize recent model year (low age) over low mileage, especially for Hyundai. Newer models often incorporate:

  • Crucial software updates
  • Safety tech improvements
  • Engine enhancements implemented during recalls or service campaigns that improve long-term reliability

A three-year-old Used Elantra with 40,000 miles is often a better choice than a six-year-old one with 20,000.

What should I look for regarding flood damage in models with SmartSense features?
▼

In the event of potential flood damage, look beyond simple rust. Closely inspect:

  • The complex wiring harnesses and electronic control modules (ECUs) located beneath the seats and dashboard
  • Water can cause intermittent failures in the Lane Keeping Assist and Blind-Spot Monitoring systems, which are costly to repair

All CPO vehicles are checked for title brands, including flood damage.

Where can I find Certified Pre-Owned Hyundai vehicles in Athens, Ohio?
▼

Don Wood Hyundai in Athens, OH maintains an extensive selection of CPO Hyundai models including:

  • Tucson
  • Santa Fe
  • Elantra
  • Palisade

Our used car inventory serves customers throughout southeastern Ohio with quality pre-owned vehicles backed by Hyundai's industry-leading CPO warranty program.

Which used Hyundai Santa Fe model years are generally considered the most reliable?
▼

When searching for a used Hyundai Santa Fe, the later models of the third generation (2018) and the fourth generation (2019 and newer) generally show higher reliability ratings compared to earlier years, especially concerning engine issues.

We recommend focusing on a Used 2020 Santa Fe or newer to benefit from the latest platform design and technology.

What extra CPO benefits are included with the purchase of a used Hyundai?
▼

In addition to the strong warranty transfer, a Hyundai CPO vehicle includes:

  • 24/7 Roadside Assistance for the duration of the CPO powertrain coverage
  • Rental car reimbursement
  • Complimentary services like a CARFAX® Vehicle History Report

This gives you full transparency and support.

Is a used Hyundai IONIQ or Kona EV a good option in the Athens area?
▼

Yes. A used Hyundai EV is an excellent choice due to:

  • The transferrable 10-Year/100,000-Mile EV Battery Warranty
  • The growing number of charging stations in the region, including the one at Ohio University

Used EVs offer incredible value by combining low operating costs with Hyundai's advanced technology.

What does the "America's Best Warranty" mean for a second owner?
▼

For second and subsequent owners of a non-CPO Hyundai, the warranty coverage generally reverts to:

  • The 5-Year/60,000-Mile New Vehicle Limited Warranty (Bumper-to-Bumper)
  • The 5-Year/60,000-Mile Powertrain Limited Warranty

Purchasing a CPO model is the only way to get the full 10-Year/100,000-Mile powertrain coverage as a second owner.

How do I get the best used car financing rate at Don Wood Hyundai?
▼

Our Don Wood finance team works with a wide network of local and national lenders, including Hyundai Motor Finance (HMF), to secure the best rates.

Applying online through our secure portal allows us to shop multiple options quickly, often resulting in highly competitive APRs comparable to those offered in larger cities like Columbus.

Do used Hyundai vehicles with All-Wheel Drive (AWD) hold their value better than FWD models?
▼

In the southeastern Ohio market, where winter driving conditions can be a factor, used AWD SUVs like the Tucson and Santa Fe typically experience slightly higher demand and retain their value better than comparable FWD models, making them a wise long-term investment.
