2009 Best Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle Program Award from IntelliChoice.com
We're the Top – for the Fifth Year in a Row!
Intellichoice.com has given our Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) program its highest ranking in the non-luxury category for the fifth year in a row! This is great news for us and for our current and potential customers!
With this kind of track record, it’s easy to introduce new customers to the Volkswagen Brand through a pre-owned vehicle – and especially now, when the economy has hit a rough spot.
James Bell, editor of IntelliChoice.com, says, “Even in this difficult economy, people will still need a new car now and then, and certified used cars are even more attractive to buyers who are looking for value.” He points out that, while new auto sales are showing steep declines, 2008 CPO sales actually made slight gains in terms of both month-to-month and year-to-year growth.
It's a Tough World Out There
To come up with its CPO rankings, IntelliChoice.com analyzed 32 manufacturer programs. As James Bell points out, “Many automakers score high on CPO rankings, so those that come out on top are to be commended for beating stiff competition.”
Point that out to your customers—it proves we're a smart choice!
