I have gathered information about the Hyundai Certified Pre-Owned car program. Here’s a summary of the findings:
– Inspection: Hyundai performs a 272-item inspection on its vehicles (287 for Genesis). This includes the exterior, engine room, underbody, accident/flood check, interior, self-diagnosis, and driving performance. They use advanced equipment like the Digital PDI.
– Commoditization: The process takes place at dedicated centers in Yangsan and Yongin. It involves replacing necessary parts with genuine certified parts, bodywork (판금), painting (도장), and replacing essential consumables like the engine oil set, A/C filter, and wipers, worth around 200,000 KRW.
– Sales Process: The entire process, from searching to payment and delivery, is done 100% online via an app or website. The platform uses an AI Pricing Engine and a portal called ‘Hi-LAB’ to provide transparent information, including 360-degree VR views and even the underbody.
– Delivery (탁송): After the contract is signed and insurance is confirmed, a delivery driver is assigned, and the car is delivered to the customer’s desired location. The delivery schedule can be adjusted.
– Warranty: A warranty of up to 1 year/20,000 km is provided if the original new car warranty has less than that remaining. This warranty is serviceable at the nationwide Bluehands network.
– Refund Policy (책임환불제): Customers can request a refund within 7 days of receiving the car, even for simple change of mind. However, there are costs involved. For the first 3 days, only the round-trip delivery fee is charged. From day 4 to 7, a “re-commoditization fee” of 150,000 KRW and a usage fee based on distance are added. The car must be returned to the original center it was shipped from. Refunds are not possible if the car has been in an accident, damaged by the customer, or illegally used after delivery.
– Checklist upon Delivery: The search results don’t provide a specific, official checklist from Hyundai. However, they emphasize the transparency of the online information (VR, underbody scan, sound recording) which allows customers to check many things beforehand. I will need to construct a general but comprehensive checklist based on standard used car inspection practices, tailored to the context of receiving a delivered vehicle.
Now I have enough information to write the blog post as requested. I will structure it according to the user’s instructions, incorporating the keywords and the detailed information I found. I will pay special attention to creating a practical and detailed checklist for vehicle acceptance, which is a key part of the title. I will also ensure citations are correctly placed after sentences that refer to the search results.
