The value of a pre-owned automobile is not lost on today’s buyers. In fact, the popularity (and value retention) of pre-owned vehicles has never been higher than in the last few years, prompting many manufacturers to offer guaranteed buyback programs at near-market value. In response to these facts, your local Phoenix Volkswagen dealer now offers a limited warranty package for quality pre-owned vehicles built by other manufacturers.
The new Volkswagen WorldAuto program applies to qualifying pre-owned vehicles, regardless of their manufacturer. The WorldAuto limited warranty package covers the vehicle for one year or 12,000 miles with only a $100 deductible for service. The WorldAuto pre-owned certification process always begins with a 112-point inspection by a qualified automotive technician, according to the Volkswagen website. This means that every pre-owned vehicle that Volkswagen offers, whether originally built by the German manufacturer or not, is placed on the lot only after Volkswagen technicians are convinced that it retains a high level of performance and reliability.
The WorldAuto inventory system provides access to over 2,800 dealerships, ensuring that buyers can find virtually any make and model they desire – your local Scottsdale VW dealer is no exception. The program also includes rental car coverage of up to $35 per day for ten days, as well as one year of roadside assistance and $50 toward any flat tire, fuel delivery, lockout, jump start, or emergency towing service. Additionally, Volkswagen sweetens the deal by including three free months of Sirius XM Satellite Radio service and travel protection for trips over 100 miles from home.
Plus, if you do fall in love with one of Volkswagen’s many offerings, the same certified pre-owned warranty applies to qualifying vehicles, but with a two-year, 24,000 mile term. If you are considering purchasing a pre-owned vehicle but have questions or concerns, the WorldAuto program provides both inventory variety and the assurance of a limited warranty program superior to many of those offered by manufacturers for their own vehicles. Call or stop by Chapman Volkswagen to learn more about WorldAuto or any of Volkswagen’s other programs and services.
The 2012 Volkswagen Golf, now available at Scottsdale VW dealers, has an impressive balance of an easy ride, enjoyable to drive, and a classy interior. The golf is available with two different engines: a 2.5-liter inline 5-cylindr engine and a 2.0-liter TDI clean Diesel engine. Both engines are available with an optional 6-speed automatic transmission; however the standard engine is paired with a standard 5-speed manual transmission while the diesel engine is paired with a standard 6-speed manual transmission. The Volkswagen Golf also has an excellent fuel mileage with an estimated 23 mpg city/33 mpg highway for the standard engine and 30 mpg city/42 mpg highway for the diesel variant.
Phoenix Volkswagen drivers will appreciate the standard 2.5-liter gasoline engine accelerates quickly with a 0-60 mph time of 7.8 seconds for the 5-speed manual and 8.1 seconds for the 6-speed automatic. The tiptronic automatic transmission delivers smooth transitions between gears whether left to its own capabilities or chosen by the driver via the gearshift or steering wheel paddles. Steering response is crisp and handling corners was a breeze. The Golf is said to offer sophistication unmatched in its class.
Inside the Golf has features including hands-free phone capability, climate control with pollen filter, touch-screen navigation system, touch-screen stereo and heated front seats. The Golf is roomy and the passenger space equals or is at least competitive with the other major players in its niche. Getting in and out of the car is easy even with the sporty seats. The driver seat and the passenger seat are adjustable eight ways and the tilt and telescope steering wheel allow even the tallest driver to fit perfectly.
The Volkswagen Golf also is complete with multiple top of the line safety features, including an Intelligent Crash Response System. The ICRS unlocks the doors, shuts off the fuel pump, and turns on the hazards lights right after the airbags have been deployed in a crash. The Golf also comes equipped with an Electronic Stability Control, which prevents oversteering or understeering during an evasive maneuver by applying corrective forces to each of the wheels. The Crash-optimized front end is an impact-absorbing element that allows for compression during a collision, minimizing the amount of damage that will make it to the driver. All of these safety precautions have made the Volkswagen Golf a 2012 Top Safety Pick.
So come down to Chapman Volkswagen and check out the new 2012 Golf!
