When it comes to purchasing a vehicle, many drivers find themselves caught between the allure of a brand-new car and the cost-saving appeal of a used one. Fortunately, Volkswagen offers a solution that combines the best of both worlds: the Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) Program. With rigorous standards, comprehensive benefits, and Volkswagen's renowned reliability, the CPO program ensures peace of mind without the price tag of a new vehicle.
In this blog, we’ll explore the key benefits of Volkswagen’s Certified Pre-Owned Program and why it might be the perfect choice for your next vehicle. If you’re in the market for a high-quality, dependable car, visit Island Volkswagen or browse our Certified Pre-Owned inventory to find your match.
Rigorous Inspection Process
One of the standout features of Volkswagen’s CPO program is the rigorous inspection process that every vehicle must pass to earn certification. Each car undergoes a detailed 100+ point inspection conducted by certified Volkswagen technicians. This thorough process ensures that every aspect of the vehicle—from its engine performance to interior features—is in excellent condition.
During the inspection, technicians check:
- Engine and transmission functionality
- Brake and tire condition
- Electrical systems, including lights and sensors
- Interior and exterior quality
- Vehicle history and mileage
Only vehicles that meet Volkswagen’s strict standards make it to the CPO inventory, giving you confidence in the quality and reliability of your purchase.
Comprehensive Warranty Coverage
Volkswagen’s CPO vehicles come with exceptional warranty coverage, which adds a layer of protection that’s often missing in standard used car purchases. Here’s what you can expect:
- Model-Specific Limited Warranty: Depending on the model year, Volkswagen CPO vehicles come with either a 2-year/24,000-mile limited warranty or a 1-year/12,000-mile limited warranty. This coverage begins after the expiration of the vehicle's original warranty or on the sale date if the original warranty has expired.
- No Deductible Repairs: When covered repairs are needed, there are no deductibles—meaning you won’t face unexpected out-of-pocket expenses.
This warranty coverage ensures that you can drive with peace of mind, knowing Volkswagen has your back.
24-Hour Roadside Assistance
Life on the road can be unpredictable, which is why Volkswagen’s Certified Pre-Owned Program includes 24-hour roadside assistance for the duration of your limited warranty. Whether you run out of gas, experience a flat tire, or encounter a mechanical issue, help is just a phone call away.
Roadside assistance services include:
- Towing to the nearest Volkswagen dealership
- Flat tire changes
- Battery jump-starts
- Emergency fuel delivery
- Lockout assistance
This benefit not only enhances safety but also minimizes the inconvenience of unexpected vehicle issues, ensuring you’re never stranded on the road.
CARFAX Vehicle History Report
Transparency is a cornerstone of Volkswagen’s CPO program. Every certified vehicle comes with a CARFAX Vehicle History Report, providing detailed information about the car’s past. This report includes:
- Previous ownership details
- Accident and repair history
- Service records
- Mileage verification
By reviewing this report, you can make an informed decision and avoid vehicles with hidden issues, giving you full confidence in your purchase.
SiriusXM All-Access Trial Subscription
Entertainment is part of the driving experience, and Volkswagen doesn’t overlook this detail. Certified Pre-Owned Volkswagen vehicles come with a 3-month SiriusXM All-Access trial subscription. This feature lets you enjoy a wide variety of music, news, sports, and entertainment channels during your drives.
Affordability Without Sacrificing Quality
One of the main advantages of Volkswagen’s CPO program is the ability to own a high-quality vehicle at a fraction of the cost of a new car. Certified Pre-Owned vehicles often come with lower price tags while still offering the reliability, advanced features, and performance you expect from Volkswagen.
