Used vs. Certified Pre-Owned Volkswagen Models
When you’re browsing pre-owned Volkswagen dealers to find the perfect vehicle, you’ll see quite a few certified pre-owned models in the showroom. If you need to learn the difference between a certified pre-owned Volkswagen vehicle and a standard pre-owned car, our dealership can help you figure it out. Courtesy of Casey Volkswagen, here’s everything you need to know about used vs. certified pre-owned Volkswagen models.
What Is a Certified Pre-Owned Volkswagen Car?
A certified pre-owned Volkswagen model is no ordinary used car. VW technicians have inspected the pre-owned vehicle based on a 100+ point inspection that verifies all the mechanical systems are working correctly. Shopping for a CPO model lets you find a like-new model that meets or exceeds the highest standards.
What Benefits Does a CPO Vehicle Have?
It has several benefits over a regular used car. In addition to the complete vehicle inspection, Volkswagen offers a limited warranty on all CPO vehicles, giving you better coverage for emergencies or repairs. You’ll also get two complimentary years of roadside assistance, letting you call for a tow or emergency services no matter where you are.
Should I Buy a Used or Certified Pre-Owned Car?
That depends on what you’re looking for in a vehicle. Certified models are newer, with more advanced safety and infotainment technologies. Thanks to the warranty and overall better maintenance history, you can often save money on Volkswagen service with a certified pre-owned model.
On the other hand, certified pre-owned models typically cost more than ordinary used cars, although they do cost less than a comparable new vehicle. Furthermore, we do not certify third-party OEMs’ vehicles, even if their age and condition might otherwise qualify them. Still, you’ll find a very diverse and affordable selection in our standard used car inventory, so your car trade-in value goes even further.
