Warranty
Notice that CPOs share the same lot as newcars. Not a coincidence.
Call us idealistic, but we figure everyone deserves a nice Volkswagen.That's why
we've put so much into our Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) program. As you'll read, Certified
Pre-Owned Volkswagens are as close to new as it gets. For starters, they're protected
by a 2-year/24,000-mile Limited Warranty1 covering just about every conceivable
problem. Not that any are likely, since each CPO candidate must survive car boot
camp just to be considered for certification. And if they make it, we subject them
to an intense inspection and reconditioning program.Top it off with 24-hour Roadside
Assistance2 for two years. So, really, there isn't much we've left to
chance here.
Our 2-year/24,000-mile LimitedWarranty1
(Clearly, no commitment issues here.)
It's a shame our lawyers make us use the word "limited" to describe such a ridiculously
comprehensive warranty. Essentially, you're covered head to toe. So if there's a
defect in materials or workmanship during the warranty's span, other than the usual
wear and tear, it's taken care of. Plus, we'll honor the existing balance of any
other limited warranties remaining on your Volkswagen. All of this protection -
kind of makes you feel warm and safe, doesn't it? We've listed just a few of the
major systems covered to the right.
What's covered?
- Engine
- Engine management system
- Transmission
- Steering system
- Electrical system
- Suspension
- Differentials
- Audio and alarm systems
- Anti-lock braking system
- Heating and air conditioning
- Safety systems
1The Volkswagen Certified Pre-Owned Limited Warranty
is for 2 years or 24,000 miles, whichever comes first.
2 Roadside Assistance, for 2 years, is provided by Road America.

Pre-Owned Certification
Obviously the VW in question has got to be pre-owned. Used. What else? Well, it
can not be more than 5 years old. In addition, it must have less than 75,000 miles
or 120,000 km on the odometer, and if there's any new car warranty remaining on
the vehicle, the vehicle must be at least 12 months in service. Last, but not least,
it must undergo our rigourous 112 point inspection.
