Used (but only 267mi) vs New EV9, which is the better buy?

US Sale

In I'm cross-shopping two 2026 EV9 Wind AWDs and I'm looking for a gut check.

"Used"New (0% promo APR)
Mileage26723
Balance (OTD financed)$48,795$62,279
APR available4.59% (my bank)0% (dealer promo, 60mo)

The new one is in Virginia, the used on is in North Carolina.

Basically the same car, 267 miles apart, for a $13.5K difference before financing costs. The used one isn't Kia Certified but has a clean Carfax.

My main hesitation: no CPO inspection, so I'm trusting the dealer's word that nothing's wrong. Battery/EV system warranty supposedly transfers in full either way (10yr/100k), it's only the traditional powertrain warranty that drops to 5yr/60k for second owners (I think?), and that mostly doesn't apply to EV drivetrain components anyway. Can anyone confirm that matches their real-world experience, especially with Kia Connect/app showing correct warranty status after a private-lot resale like this?

Anything else I should be pushing this dealer for before buying non-CPO?

Sounds like its too good to be true, but I'm ready to but one this week.

Thanks in advance
