Should Your Next Volkswagen Be Certified Pre-Owned? 

Sometimes the best deals are the ones that aren’t new. New cars tend to lose quite a bit of money as soon as they are titled in someone’s name and driven off the dealer’s lot, at an estimated 10%. If the Volkswagen you just purchased was $30,000, that’s $3,000 that has just disappeared. And it’s estimated that after one year of ownership, the vehicle will lose an additional 10% or so.  

Why Buy a Certified Pre-Owned Volkswagen 

When buying a used Volkswagen, one of the best options is to choose a Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) model, as it undergoes a 100+ point inspection. Bud Brown Volkswagen offers two years of free 24-hour Roadside Assistance and extra warranty coverage.  

The Vehicle Inspection 

During the inspection, a certified technician will conduct a series of tests to ensure the vehicle meets the standards VW expects. Some of the tests performed are an engine check to ensure there are no performance or starting issues; a transmission test for any malfunctions or noise in the gearbox during normal driving situations; braking performance; make sure there is no excessive play or other issues with the steering system, such as grinding noises, squeals, vibrations, and no increase in effort or loss of drivability; and do any recommended or needed service and maintenance items. 

The Comprehensive Warranty 

Once the car or SUV passes the CPO screening process, buyers receive a warranty as assurance that this model is among the best on the Bud Brown Volkswagen lot. Cars from 2019 to newer are eligible for CPO status, and they will get: 

• 2019 – 1-year, 12,000-mile comprehensive limited warranty
• 2020 and newer – 2-year, 24,000-mile comprehensive limited warranty
• EVs from 2019 to current – 3-year, 36,000-mile comprehensive limited warranty

Free CarFax History Report 

When buying any used car, it’s always important to have a vehicle history report, so you know all of the maintenance that has or hasn’t been done on the vehicle. When buying a Certified Pre-Owned Volkswagen, you will be given a free copy of the vehicle’s CarFax history report, which provides you with peace of mind that it hasn’t been in an accident or had any major faults or issues.  

Free Roadside Assistance 

As previously mentioned, your CPO Volkswagen will get two years of free roadside assistance coverage. This means that if you ever break down, a tow truck will take you to the nearest VW dealer for your car to be diagnosed, as well as jump starts and flat tire changes.  

A Free Gift for Your CPO Purchase 

Finally, once you purchase your CPO VW, you will receive a 3-month SiriusXM Premium plan at no cost, allowing you to listen to more than 150 channels. So, no need to worry about missing the big game while driving, as you can listen live on SiriusXM sports channels.
