What Is “Certified Pre-Owned”, and Why Is It Better?
The term “used car” evokes several images in most people’s minds, with many of them being unpleasant in one way or another. That’s why it’s so important to know what exactly “certified pre-owned” means; because purchasing a “CPO” vehicle avoids so many of the worries you might have about an ordinary “used” vehicle, while simultaneously avoiding the high sticker price of a brand-new vehicle. Before a Volkswagen can even become a Certified Pre-Owned, it’s put through a comprehensive inspection by a factory certified Volkswagen technician which covers more than a hundred points. Most notably engine performance, braking performance, and steering performance. Anything that doesn’t meet the strict standards of VW is repaired or replaced until it does. A CPO Volkswagen from Byers Volkswagen also includes a free CARFAX® vehicle history report. And if the vehicle is equipped for Sirius XM®, you’ll also receive 3 months of premium programming at no additional charge.
Reassurance Where It Counts
Between the reliability inherent in every VW and the pre-sale inspection, Volkswagen is so confident in its certified pre-owned vehicles that it backs them with a comprehensive limited warranty of up to 2 years or 24,000 miles. And because every vehicle will occasionally meet with the unexpected, a CPO Volkswagen also comes with 2 years of 24-hour roadside assistance that covers things like towing to the nearest VW dealership, changing flat tires, and jump-starting batteries.
So as you can see, a certified pre-owned vehicle from Byers Volkswagen is head and shoulders above an ordinary used car. In fact, it’s hard to say which benefit is better: the peace of mind, or the price being thousands less than a new vehicle.
