Volkswagen Certified Pre-Owned Car Program

Volkswagen has put together a certified used vehicle program of its own that follows their philosophy, which is why their program is called Certified Pre-Loved Volkswagens. To be eligible for the Pre-Loved program, Volkswagen will only consider used Volkswagens that are younger than five years and that have been driven less than 75,000 miles. Before being accepted into the program, every vehicle undergoes specific testing and a vehicle history check.

Being an owner of a Certified Pre-Loved Volkswagen also means complimentary enrollment in to the VW club. This puts you in touch with other Volkswagen owners and events, plus you will receive a complimentary newsletter.

Volkswagen has a CARFAX vehicle history report run on every vehicle being considered for their Pre-Loved program. This report can disclose such information as:

• Information on the title of the vehicle
  
• History of flood damage
  
• Accident history
  
• Odometer readings
  
• Lemon history - if applicable
  
• How many owners there have been
  
• Airbag deployments
  
• State emissions inspection results - if tested
  
• If there are maintenance or service records
  
• If the vehicle was used as a lease, rental or as a taxi

Volkswagen runs every vehicle through a 112 point inspection check. As part of this inspection, trained Volkswagen system, tires, engine transmission and much more.

First, if there is a remaining balance left on the original vehicle warranty when it was purchased new, the balance continues to be in effect when the vehicle is sold as a Certified Pre-Loved Volkswagen. When the original warranty is over, Volkswagen adds a comprehensive 2-year / 24,000-mile limited warranty to cover you for the next couple of years. This covers the vehicle from the front to the back for any repairs required due to defect in materials or workmanship if the fault lies outside of regular wear and tear.

Volkswagen also offers a full around the clock roadside assistance program. This plan is managed through Cross COuntry Automotive Services, Inc. The program runs for two full years after you have purchased your Certified Pre-Loved Volkswagen and has no mileage restriction. Some of the services provided include:

• Jump start - in the event that you end up with a dead battery, roadside assistance will come and give your vehicle a boost.
  
• Fuel delivery - in the unhappy event that you run out of gas, a fuel delivery will be made to get you back on the road.
  
• Lockout service - if you lock your keys in the vehicle, roadside assistance will help to get you back inside.
  
• Tire change - if you end up with a flat tire and have a good spare, then roadside assistance will come and change your tire for you.
  
• Towing service - in the event of a full break down, roadside assistance will come and tow you to the nearest Volkswagen dealership.
  
• Winching service - occasionally on bad roads people get stuck. If that happens to you, roadside assistance will come and help get you back on your way.
