Are you considering buying a "certified pre-owned" car?
Before deciding on a certified pre-owned car, keep in mind that not all “Certified” programs have the same level of reconditioning, warranty, or finance incentives. Also, there are two types of certified cars, those certified by the dealer and those certified by a factory sponsored program. A dealer can call a car certified if they perform a basic mechanical fitness and issue a safety standards certificate. A factory program insists on a multi point inspection (VW pure certified is 112 points) with much more detail and higher standards of reconditioning to qualify.

Factory-certified: Factory-certified cars typically represent the best overall deal. It means the vehicle has been inspected, needed repairs have been made and the car has been backed by a factory warranty (VW's warranty is NOT just power-train, it even covers heated seats!!) & offers super low financing rates, sometimes even lower than new car rates!
FYI At Brantford Volkswagen we also provide a Carproof history report (not just a Carfax), remove all liens, perform any service to bring car up to date, remove any surface dents, touch-up stone chips, perform a professional clean, PLUS, we will show you our "evidence manual", available on each car, with any available past service history, a detailed report of the VW "Pure" inspection, & details to show you all work we performed to re-condition the car.
Other: A dealer certified car probably didn’t get the multi point inspection or the series of repairs that the factory certified car did. Also, these cars won’t have a factory backed warranty but will have the availability of an aftermarket warranty (at an additional cost to you) with optional deductibles, repair limits and less than stellar re-imbursement history.
Factory-certified: Any authorized retailer in North America can repair the vehicle (VW has no deductible and no repair limits, & includes genuine VW road-side assistance).
Other: Some aftermarket warranty companies are not honored at all repair facilities. It puts the responsibility on the vehicle owner to pay for the repair and seek re-imbursement from the warranty company. Know your deductibles and repair limits if you have an aftermarket warranty.
Factory-certified: Higher standards must be met through inspections; such as brakes and tires which require at least 50% wear remaining. (This effectively means you will not be having to replace items as soon!)
Other: Non-factory certified requires only 10-30% wear remaining to be allowed to issue a safety standards certificate.
The great news is, you can enjoy the prestige of owning a Volkswagen & financial savings of buying Certified "Pure" Volkswagen, with full confidence. But, better yet, you can buy a Certified "Pure" vehicle from Brantford Volkswagen and enjoy the benefits of our attention to detail with the vehicle's condition, and our full disclosure approach by viewing our "evidence manual", saving you time & money!
