If you have been looking for a Volkswagen these past few years, you’ve probably noticed a lack of supply for your favorite brand. It is not lost on most people that the events surrounding the COVID-19 outbreak left our world in completely different place. Therefore, looking for a new vehicle can be tough, but what if there was another way? While new cars may be in short supply, Certified-Preowned VWs are a fantastic alternative. VW CPOs are rigorously inspected, warranty protected and transparent.
What do I mean by rigorously inspected? Well, every VW that is eligible for the CPO program (not all vehicles are) must endure a 100+ Point Mechanical and Safety Inspection by VW Certified Technicians. That inspection includes things such as:
- Checking engine performance for starting issues
- Checking transmission for performance malfunction and noise
- Testing brakes for proper function, stopping distance
- Steering tests for noise, effort, vibration, and pulling
- Updating per recommended or required maintenance needs
The vehicle undergoing the inspection must pass every one of these bars to be selected for VWs CPO certification. If it fails one of these tests, the vehicle is rejected. The reason is because VW not only wants to provide the highest quality preowned vehicles to its customers, but also because they offer some pretty amazing perks.
Say you are interested in a 2017 VW Jetta SE and luckily for you it has been awarded the coveted CPO status. VW will provide a 2 Year / 24,000 Mile Comprehensive Limited Warranty. Which means, if you need any repairs at anytime during those first two years, contact Greeley Volkswagen and they will take care of you. Is that 2017 Jetta also a TDI? Do not worry. VW provides an Extended Emissions Warranty for them as well.
Additionally, all of VW’s CPOs come with 24 Hour Roadside Assistance included in the warranty. What does that cover? Glad you asked! VW’s Roadside Assistance covers everything such as:
- Towing to the nearest licensed authorized VW dealership
- Flat-tire changes and jump starts
- Emergency repairs, fuel delivery, and door unlocking
- Winching/extrication
The coverage is also nationwide, so if you end up stranded in the middle of Missouri, you will be protected 24 hours per day 365 days a year.
Now say, you are one of those people who want to know everything about the vehicle first. It is all well and good that VW does a 100+ Point Inspection and that they provide a Comprehensive Limited Warranty with 24 Hour Roadside assistance, you want to know everything about the vehicle you are purchasing. No problem. Every VW CPO comes with a CARFAX Vehicle History Report to show you everything from service records to major repairs to prior owners. VW wants you to be confident in your purchase even if that means you get to see some of the less then flashy details.
The VW CPO program is a great program for anyone wanting a quality car, but would like an alternative to purchasing a new or used vehicle. It provides nearly all the benefits and protections of a new VW while maintaining a far lower price. If you are in the market for a new VW vehicle, check out a CPO at Greeley Volkswagen. It just may be the answer you are looking for!
