Buying a Used Volkswagen: Making the Right Choice
October 28 2021,
Choosing a used vehicle is not easy. First of all, because the choice is varied and there are interesting models everywhere, but especially because you don't want to choose the wrong vehicle, or choose a good vehicle that's not in good condition.
That's why it's important to trust an expert, like your Volkswagen dealer, with the choice of a certified pre-owned model. It's easy to do, and you can't make any mistakes.
The certified series
First, it is important to define what a certified series model is. First, to qualify as a certified series, a vehicle must meet certain criteria, including wear and tear, number of years on the market, and mileage. It then undergoes a 112-point inspection where nothing is left to chance. If the product is not worthy, it will not be offered.
And everything is analyzed. We look at the performance and components of the engine, transmission and brake system, among others. We replace what needs to be replaced with original parts and the work is done by Volkswagen product experts. The interior is combed to see if there are any tears on the surfaces, if the switches are all functional, etc. On the outside, we take a look at the paint to eliminate any imperfections, but we also make sure that all the headlights and lights work.
In the end, you get a vehicle that looks like new.
Interest rate
Better yet, depending on the model or term you're looking for, you can take advantage of really good rates, as low as 0.9%. With today's inflation making everything more expensive, this is a great place to breathe, with a car payment where you don't have to worry about interest rates.
Fun to drive
Finally, the benefit of buying a Volkswagen product is also measured behind the wheel. The company's reputation for driving pleasure has always been strong and is the result of decades of effort.
So, on top of getting a properly inspected vehicle and great interest rates, not to mention some additional warranty protection, you'll be getting your hands on a model that's going to offer you more fun.
That's what we call a win-win situation.
