Your Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle Questions

Shopping for a Certified Pre-Owned Genesis vehicle should feel just as exciting and reassuring as buying a new Genesis. At Gettel Genesis of Sarasota, we understand that customers often have questions when considering a pre-owned Genesis GV70, Genesis G80, or any of our luxury models. That’s why we created this detailed FAQ page to give you confident, clear answers about the Genesis Certified Pre-Owned program, its advantages, warranty coverage, and how it compares to buying new in Sarasota, FL.

We’re breaking down the most common FAQs about pre-owned Genesis vehicles, from warranty details to the inspection process to ownership benefits like roadside assistance and vehicle history transparency.

Q: What Makes a Genesis Vehicle “Certified Pre-Owned”?

To be considered a Genesis Certified Pre-Owned vehicle, a Genesis must meet strict manufacturer standards. Only well-maintained, late-model Genesis cars with a clean vehicle history report and low mileage qualify. These vehicles then go through a 191-point inspection conducted by factory-trained technicians to verify quality, safety, and performance.

The inspection includes everything from engine performance and braking to interior features and appearance. If any part doesn’t meet Genesis’ exacting standards, it’s repaired or replaced using Genesis Genuine Parts.

Q: What Is the Genesis Certified Pre-Owned Warranty?

Every Genesis Certified Pre-Owned vehicle is backed by an extensive warranty coverage package that gives you peace of mind from day one. Here’s what’s included:

• 6-year/75,000-mile limited warranty (whichever comes first) from the original in-service date
• 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain limited warranty (from original in-service date)
• Remainder of the original Genesis New Vehicle Limited Warranty
• Rental car reimbursement during covered repairs
• Roadside assistance for the duration of the warranty

This Genesis Certified Pre-Owned warranty offers nearly the same confidence you’d get with a new Genesis model, and that’s a major advantage over traditional used car purchases.
