What Makes a Certified Pre-Owned Volkswagen Better than Used?

When you’re shopping for a pre-owned vehicle at Strong Volkswagen, you’ll see two categories: pre-owned and Certified Pre-Owned Volkswagen cars. But what is the difference, and why does it matter? Put simply, a Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) Volkswagen is a vehicle that has met a strict set of factory-backed standards. Our team at Strong Volkswagen wants to show what sets CPO Volkswagen cars apart from the pack.

The 100+ Point Inspection

One of the biggest differences is the inspection. Before a vehicle can even be considered for certification, it must undergo a rigorous 100-plus-point dealer inspection. During the inspection, a factory-trained technician meticulously checks everything from the engine and transmission performance to the brakes, steering, and all electrical components. If any part doesn’t meet the high standards set by Volkswagen, it is repaired or replaced with OEM Volkswagen parts.

Model-Specific Warranty Coverage

When you buy a Certified Pre-Owned Volkswagen model, you drive away with a factory-backed warranty. The CPO Comprehensive Limited Warranty coverage depends on the model year. For instance, 2020 and newer models come with a two-year or 24,000-mile Comprehensive Limited Warranty.

Additional Perks

The benefits of the Certified Pre-Owned Volkswagen model go even further. Every CPO Volkswagen model also includes two years of 24-hour roadside assistance, which provides you with a safety net for flat tires, jump starts, and emergency towing. You’ll also receive a three-month SiriusXM® Platinum Plan trial subscription and a complimentary CARFAX® Vehicle History Report.
