German Engineering at a Fraction of the Cost: Why Buy a Pre-Owned Volkswagen

Durable, reliable, and affordable to maintain, Volkswagen vehicles are popular choices for commuters and families. If you want to upgrade your ride on a budget, a pre-owned Volkswagen gives you all the German engineering benefits at a fraction of the cost.

5 Reasons to Buy a Pre-Owned Volkswagen

Proven Durability and Reliability

Volkswagen is renowned for its durable engines and meticulously crafted vehicles that are built to last. Each new model comes with a comprehensive bumper-to-bumper warranty that covers most parts and components for at least 50,000 miles, while extended vehicle protection plans can cover various components and the powertrain for 150,000 miles.

These warranties and coverages are proof that Volkswagen vehicles are built to last. If you choose a current-generation model, your used Volkswagen might still even be covered by the original warranty if it only had one previous owner and the warranty period has not expired. For added peace of mind, we also stand behind each vehicle in our inventory with dealership warranty plans and complimentary CARFAX reports.

Major Cost Savings 

Like all new vehicles, new Volkswagens start losing value as soon as you start to drive them, but depreciation tends to slow after the first three to five years. This means that when you’re buying a used Volkswagen, someone else has already taken the major depreciation hit. Depending on the model and depreciation, you can enjoy major savings when purchasing the vehicle and also retain more of its value over time.

Affordable Maintenance 

Another advantage of purchasing a used Volkswagen is the affordable maintenance. Vehicles from this brand rank high among the most affordable vehicles to maintain, and generally, used models have even cheaper maintenance costs as replacement parts and components are typically cheaper.

More for Your Money

When purchasing a used Volkswagen, it is easier to find a model customized to your needs, as original owners typically customize their vehicles with expensive extras, such as heated seats, available all-wheel drive systems, or upgraded infotainment systems and premium audio. All these extras remain when the vehicle is sold, allowing you to enjoy them at a fraction of the price.

Wide Range of Options

Another key advantage of buying a used Volkswagen is the wide range of options. Whether you want a current-generation, low-mileage model or a discontinued model, such as the popular Passat, you can easily find a model to suit your needs. At our Yorkville dealerships, we also stock a range of certified pre-owned models that come with added advantages, such as factory-based warranty.
