Volkswagen Certified Pre-Owned Benefits & Warranty Highlights

  • VW Certified Pre-Owned models offer extended protection.
  • The Volkswagen Certified Pre-Owned Warranty covers powertrain, mechanical, and electrical components.
  • Certified pre-owned warranty packages are advantageous because they provide additional protection you won’t generally find with typical used automobiles.
  • In addition to a lack of warranty coverage, used vehicles don’t have to adhere to the same mileage and age requirements as certified models.
  • Your Volkswagen Certified Pre-Owned Warranty coverage begins when any remaining VW New Vehicle Limited Warranty coverage expires.1

What VW Certified Pre-Owned Means

The Volkswagen Certified Pre-Owned Warranty and benefits package serves as a stamp of approval on a second-hand car. It guarantees that VW certified used models, including those found here at Jim Ellis Volkswagen of Kennesaw, have undergone a rigorous inspection and reconditioning process while also passing certain age and mileage checks.

Why a Warranty Is 1 of the Biggest Benefits

A warranty like the one you’ll get with a Volkswagen Certified Pre-Owned vehicle offers added peace of mind to your purchase. It protects your investment against faulty parts and manufacturing.1 It’s similar to getting the protections of a new vehicle without the new-car price. Our Kennesaw VW service center can perform any maintenance, repair, or replacement tasks, including warrantied services.

Difference Between Used & Certified Pre-Owned

The biggest difference between Volkswagen Certified Pre-Owned vehicles and used cars is how each vehicle earns its designation. Inspection requirements for the VW Certified Pre-Owned Program guarantee a certain level of quality outlined by Volkswagen.

There are vehicle age requirements (6 model years or newer) and mileage requirements (75,000 miles or fewer) in order for a VW model to receive certified status, too. Other late-model cars don’t have these restrictions, though we do thoroughly inspect and recondition all used automobiles before putting them up for sale.

Does the Volkswagen Certified Pre-Owned Warranty Start After the Manufacturer Warranty?

Yes, the VW certified warranty begins after the four-year/50,000-mile New Vehicle Limited Warranty ends.1,2 This means you can potentially find certified pre-owned vehicles with existing coverage left that extends beyond the two-year/24,000-mile Volkswagen Certified Pre-Owned Warranty.
