Whether New Or Used, Kia Is Fit For A King

Union County Kia K900 Fit for a King Lebron James
Kias are known to be surprisingly spacious, but some striking new evidence shows just how roomy they really are. NBA superstar Lebron James was recently seen sliding his 6’ 8”, 250-lb. frame into a Kia. And no, this wasn’t one of James’ Kia commercials like the one above, an endorsement deal the reigning NBA champion has held since 2014. The footage was captured by James’ Cleveland Cavaliers teammate Richard Jefferson, who eagerly posted the evidence to Snapchat. That’s right. James, who is estimated to have a net worth somewhere north of $220 million, really does roll around in a Kia. The video lays to rest plenty of doubt about whether the mega-rich and mega-famous James actually drives the car he endorses, something Kia lightheartedly addressed in one of its commercials. Granted the Kia model James was spotted in was the new K900 and not a five-year old used Kia. It makes you wonder how many other celebrities drive a Kia. The manufacturer has been endorsed by NBA star Blake Griffin, professional golfer Michelle Wie, tennis player Rafael Nadal and actor Pierce Brosnan. We already know actress Angela Lansbury gets around in a Kia Soul, and she’s not even on the Kia payroll. Let’s stop kidding ourselves: If a Kia is cool enough for King James, even a used Kia is the perfect car for anyone. What could be cooler than a reliable car at a great value? Come to Union County Kia to see our inventory of new and used Kia models and take one for a test drive today. You might just find one fit for a king.

How You Can Get New Car Value in a Used Kia

Purchasing a new car can give the buyer a sense of peace. Warranties, quality, and reliability are associated with new vehicles and are their main attraction. However, don’t be fooled into thinking a brand-new car is your only option to ensure these benefits. Kia’s Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) inventory is able to give you the perks of a new car at a better value. Ensure Quality With a Certified Pre-Owned Kia On average, a new car loses 11% of its value once it leaves the lot, and after five years it has lost 60%. While there are no hard and fast statistics surrounding used car depreciation, it has generally held to be true that the rate of used car depreciation is not as drastic. Even though these statistics make it clear that a used car holds its value better over the long run, this still isn’t enough to convince many buyers to make the leap from purchasing new vehicles to used Kia cars. Knowing this, Kia created their CPO program in order to give their customers more confidence in their used automobiles. The Kia CPO program follows specific standards, and each car must meet these qualifications in order to pass certification. These rigid standards for pre-owned Kia models are as follows: No more than 5 years old Has fewer than 60,000 miles Passed a thorough 150-Point Quality Assurance inspection Once used Kia cars are deemed CPO, they gain a number of other benefits. These include: 10 year / 100,000 mile Certified Pre-Owned Limited Powertrain Warranty Includes the major parts of the vehicle and offers protection against any major mechanical breakdown Covers the engine, transmission, and drive axle 12 month / 12,000 mile Platinum coverage Covers almost all assemblies of the vehicle Includes steering, air conditioning, front suspension, electrical, and rear suspension 24-Hour Roadside Assistance Towing/Rental/Travel Breakdown coverage Free CARFAXⓇ report on vehicle history 10-year unlimited mileage roadside assistance plan Eligible For Additional Failure Coverage Get on the Road with a CPO Kia With CPO Kias, any risks associated with buying used cars have been alleviated.
