Volkswagen Certified Pre-Owned

Volkswagen combines its Limited and Powertrain warranties and offers a single CPO Limited Warranty of two years/24,000 miles. If the vehicle retains some of its 4-year/50,000-mile New Car Limited Warranty, the CPO Limited Warranty begins when the new car warranty exprires. Nowhere on their website nor in their brochure do they fully define the qualifications for certified pre-owned. We’re left to assume that if a vehicle passes VW’s 100-plus-point inspection and is of the appropriate age, it qualifies. Electric vehicle are covered by the same terms as gas vehicles, but the High-Voltage Battery comes with an 8-year/100,000-mile limited warranty from the original in-service date, and protects against defects in material and workmanship, and for a capacity of at least 70%.

The CPO sale includes 24/7 roadside assistance (provided by a third party) and trip interruption coverage for two years from purchase. Trip interruption applies for a mechanical breakdown over 100 miles from home and is limited to $500 per incident. Any necessary repairs under warranty incur a $50 deductible per service. The warranty is transferable.
