Should You Buy a Used Volkswagen This Summer?

Great Reasons to Sign on the Dotted Line

Summer in South Jordan means it’s time to enjoy the great outdoors. That means more camping excursions, fishing trips at the lake, and scenic mountain drives with the family. If it’s been a while since you’ve looked into upgrading your vehicle, this summer may be the perfect time to check out a used Volkswagen.

In addition to being stylish, affordable, and loaded with technology, Volkswagen vehicles make amazing copilots for families who like to venture off the beaten path. The following breaks down our top three reasons why you should consider a used Volkswagen this summer. Once we’ve covered that, we’ll provide some info on how to test drive a certified pre-owned Volkswagen in Utah and how to get financing.

#1 – Going with a Used Volkswagen Means Big Savings

We all know the big challenge when shopping for new cars – the price. New vehicles aren’t cheap, and rising interest rates and inflation make securing a new vehicle even more challenging.

However, when you broaden your horizons to include used Volkswagen vehicles, car shoppers can save literally thousands of dollars by going with a model year that’s two or three years older. For example, the 2023 Volkswagen Tiguan S has the starting MSRP of $26,950. By comparison, a used VW Tiguan from 2020 can be purchased for around $24,000.

It’s also worth noting that by going with a used Volkswagen, you effectively dodge the bulk of the vehicle’s depreciation. Further, used vehicles cost less to insure compared to new ones.

#2 – Get Added Security with a Certified Pre-Owned Volkswagen

As a leading dealer of used Volkswagen vehicles, we know you can’t put a price on peace of mind. Buying a used vehicle shouldn’t mean having to deal with a bunch of repair issues one or two months down the line.

When you get a Volkswagen certified pre-owned vehicle, you get the assurance your car or SUV has undergone a rigorous 100+ point inspection, that you’ll get two years of 24-hour roadside assistance, and model-specific limited warranty coverage on engine components, the electrical system, and other aspects of the vehicle.

#3 – Enjoy the Perks of Upgraded Technology

Although going with a used Volkswagen means you won’t have the most up-to-date technology that’s available in the 2023 models, the 2020 and 2021 models still have plenty of offer in the tech department.

For instance, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto allow drivers to fully integrate their smartphone devices with their vehicle, providing them access to navigation apps, streaming services, personal contacts, and more.

Used Volkswagen vehicles also include a suite of driver assistance features such as adaptive cruise control, park assist, blind spot monitor, and backup camera. Drivers can also look forward to numerous infotainment and comfort features, including:

• HD radio (satellite radio ready)
• Advanced climate control
• Keyless entry
• WiFi hotspot
• Heated and powered seats
• Remote features
• Touchscreen dash controls
• Upscale interior accents
