Anyone looking to buy a brand-new Volkswagen should first consider going for a certified pre-owned vehicle. A Volkswagen certified pre-owned car comes with a warranty, inspection, and includes a few perks.
We’re about to dive into the Volkswagen CPO program, examine their inspection process, warranty coverage, warranty duration, and explore their added perks.
TLDR; We do not recommend the Volkswagen certified pre-owned program. They do not offer a powertrain warranty at all. To make matters worse, they have a convoluted model-based warranty offering that seems to be in place to encourage people to buy older cars. The inspection process is also incredibly minimal, only inspecting 112 points. Which is far below the industry average.
Volkswagen’s Certified Pre-Owned Warranty Information
The Volkswagen certified pre-owned program has a somewhat confusing year-based warranty offering. To qualify for the Volkswagen CPO program, the vehicle must meet the below criteria:
Six model years old or newer
Fewer than 75,000
These criteria are pretty par for the course, although most automakers make the cutoff point five years and 50,000 miles. Volkswagen decided to extend its standards a little more than most manufacturers.
What does Volkswagen’s Certified Pre-Owned Warranty Cover?
Every CPO vehicle comes with a Comprehensive Limited warranty that begins on the date that you buy the car. This warranty covers most major components in your car.
Unfortunately, Volkswagen says that inclusions and exclusions are available in the CPO manual, which they do not make available on their website. We have no way of verifying what exactly is and is not covered with this warranty. Refusing to make the manual available online is rare for CPO programs, as most automakers have the manual available directly on their website.
Repairs covered by this warranty still carry a $50 deductible per visit. Although this is better than paying for the repairs yourself, having this deductible is unpleasant. While it may not seem like much, it adds up over the lifetime of your warranty.
The absence of a specific powertrain warranty is alarming. Most automakers include a powertrain warranty that lasts up to 100,000 miles and ten years. Volkswagen does not offer any powertrain warranty. The lack of a powertrain warranty means that you could end up three years down the road and have powertrain problems that could potentially lead to scrapping your car.
How long does Volkswagen’s Certified Pre-Owned Warranty Last?
Volkswagen created a strange model-based method for offering warranties on their CPO vehicles. They talk about it like it’s a selling point, but we think it’s needlessly complicated. Either way, here are the warranty durations they offer:
Model year of 2018 or newer: One-year or 12,000 miles, whichever occurs first
Model year of 2017 or earlier: Two-year or 24,000 miles, whichever occurs first
Model year of 2016 or earlier Turbocharged Direct Injection vehicles: Two years with unlimited miles
We should highlight that they offer the same warranty in every case: their Comprehensive Limited Warranty.
It’s unclear why the Volkswagen certified pre-owned program has this unique process for deciding on warranty coverage. It almost seems like their mentality is “our older cars need more coverage,” which does not instill confidence in their vehicles. This warranty offering also makes it seem like it’s worth buying 2017 over 2018 since you’ll get double the duration.
Although there’s not much information available on the plans, you can opt to add up to 100,000 miles to the included warranty. There are five different plans that you can pick from. You can talk to the Volkswagen dealership near you for more information about their added warranties.
Volkswagen does not directly state if their warranties are transferable, which directly impacts your resale value if you decide to sell your car.
Volkswagen’s Certified Pre-Owned Inspection
Every vehicle in the Volkswagen certified pre-owned program has a 112-point inspection. This number of inspection points is relatively low for the industry standard. We’d say the average of inspection points is around 150-175 (Mazda inspects 160 points). Volkswagen also does not make its checklist publicly available on its website, which is unusual. They do give an overview of the process:
Examine the engine for any starting issues or strange knocking and vibrations
Examine the transmission for any performance issues or noises
Test brakes for stopping distance, vibration, and overall function
Test steering for noise, vibration, and pulling
Perform any maintenance called for in the owner’s manual.
All of these descriptions are standard for a CPO inspection. It’s discouraging to see that they didn’t make their entire checklist available. It also doesn’t give us confidence in their cars that they are only inspecting 112 points. We’d like to see them enhance their program to catch up to other automakers.
Other Volkswagen Certified Pre-Owned Perks
Volkswagen has decided to offer several perks with their CPO vehicles, much like other manufacturers. Every Volkswagen certified pre-owned vehicle includes these perks:
24/7 roadside assistance for two years, including gas delivery, jump starts, lockouts, and emergency tows
A three-month trial of SiriusXM
A complete Carfax report (how trustworthy are Carfax reports?)
This perk offering is the bare minimum that we’ve seen from auto manufacturers. We’re wondering why the Volkswagen certified pre-owned program didn’t decide to provide more perks that might set them apart from other automakers.
We do not recommend the Volkswagen certified pre-owned program. They have a convoluted warranty offering, perform a minimum amount of inspection, and do not make vital information available to the public. Unless you particularly like Volkswagens, we suggest looking at other certified pre-owned programs that include more extended warranties, a powertrain warranty, and a more thorough inspection.
Acura is known as a luxury brand, and the Acura certified pre-owned program irrefutably defends that reputation. The program provides an impressive warranty, thorough inspection, and goes above and beyond with more perks than most CPO programs. Thanks to the included warranty and inspection, we will always recommend a CPO vehicle over a generic used car.
Here we’ll cover everything you need to know about the Acura certified pre-owned program, including warranty coverage, insight into their thorough inspections, and what comes with your purchase.
TLDR; An Acura certified pre-owned vehicle comes with impressive warranties. Their limited warranty is far beyond the industry standard, while their powertrain warranty is about average. Acura inspects more on their cars than most other automakers and undoubtedly provides more perks than most.
Acura’s Certified Pre-Owned Warranty Information
Acura provides an impressive warranty with all of their CPO vehicles. For a deep dive into the Acura warranty, they’ve provided the full manual on their website. It’s 41 pages long, so we’ll cover the main points for you below.
To become certified as an Acura certified pre-owned vehicle, the car must be:
Under six years old
Under 80,000 miles
What does Acura’s Certified Pre-Owned Warranty Cover?
When you buy an Acura certified pre-owned vehicle, it comes with two warranties. Each warranty covers different parts of your vehicle.
Limited Warranty covers:
Fuel system
Suspension
Steering
Brakes
Batteries and bulbs
Heating and air conditioning
Electrical and sensors
Audio and navigation devices
Safety and safety restraints
Fluids and lubricants
Diagnostic time
Powertrain Warranty covers:
Engine
Transmission
Front-wheel drive system
Rear-wheel drive system
There is an exhaustive list of precisely what is covered, and perhaps more importantly, what is not covered, at the manual on their website.
Both warranties will replace original parts that are directly stated as covered, provided that the issue stems from the part that is defective. Repairs must be completed in an authorized Acura facility and the parts used must be original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts.
In the event of emergency repairs, meaning a repair that’s completed outside of an approved facility, Acura offers to provide reimbursement based on a few of the following conditions:
The vehicle was completely immobile or otherwise unsafe to drive
The repair would’ve been covered at an authorized repair facility
There are no authorized Acura dealers or facilities within 50 miles, or they’re closed
All repairs receive prior authorization
That’s pretty generous of them; most automakers wouldn’t provide this level of care or reimbursement. This reimbursement raises them quite a bit in our eyes.
How long does Acura’s Certified Pre-Owned Warranty Last?
Acura provides two warranties under their CPO program with different durations:
Limited Warranty
Two years or 100,00 miles, whichever occurs first
Begins when the Acura pre-owned vehicle is purchased or at the expiration of the New Vehicle Limited Warranty
Powertrain Warranty
Seven years or 100,000 miles, whichever occurs first
Begins with the Acura was initially purchased as new
All new Acuras come with a New Vehicle Limited Warranty that is good for four years or 50,000 miles. If a certified pre-owned vehicle is purchased that still has this warranty active, the CPO warranty begins after the New Vehicle Limited Warranty expires.
All new vehicles come with a New Vehicle Powertrain Warranty that is valid for six years or 70,000 miles. This coverage overlaps with the Certified Pre-Owned Powertrain Warranty, so you’ll receive an extra year and 30,000 miles.
Both warranties are fully transferable if the vehicle is sold within the timeframe. No fee is required, and all that’s needed is a call to their client care services department. This transferability can be a great selling point if you’re looking to sell your vehicle.
We’re quite impressed by the length of their limited warranty. It’s way above industry standard, both in duration and allotted mileage. Their powertrain warranty is average.
Acura’s Certified Pre-Owned Inspection
All Acuras that meet the minimum requirements of the program must undergo a 182-point inspection. You can review the entire inspection checklist at this website, but we’ve provided the major points below:
Front interior, including horn operation and carpet condition
Rear interior, including armrest condition and rear door operation
Front exterior, including bumper condition and side mirror operation
Rear exterior, including turn-signal light operation and trunk condition
Underhood check, including engine mounts condition and cooling fan operation
Under the vehicle, including brake caliper condition and driveshaft condition
Brakes/tires, including brake pads and rotors condition for all four tires
Replacement of various items, such as engine air filter and master keys
Road test, including idle vibration and acceleration power
All CPO programs include a thorough inspection, but Acura raises the bar with its 182-point inspection once again exceeding industry standards
Other Acura Certified Pre-Owned Perks
All Acura certified pre-owned vehicles come with many included bonuses:
Rental car reimbursement based on the amount of required repair time. This includes increases in reimbursement for extended repair times. The maximum repair time is over 16 hours, and they will allow four days and reimburse $180.
A three-month subscription to SiriusXM
The vehicle inspection form used to certify the vehicle
Your first scheduled maintenance, such as an oil change, is complimentary
24/7 roadside assistance, covering all major issues, such as fuel delivery, battery jump-starts, changing flats, and emergency towing
Access to the Acura Concierge Service, which provides several personal services, such as insurance claims assistance and glass replacement referrals
Trip interruption expense reimbursement if your vehicle breaks down over 100 miles from your residence
A three-month trial to AcuraLink, which provides services like Find My Car and Automatic Collision Notification
Acura has gone above and beyond with their included perks. While many auto manufacturers offer a few of these perks, Acura sought to provide their customers with unparalleled services.
We’re impressed by Acura’s CPO program. They provide an excellent warranty, plenty of perks, and a thorough inspection. Make sure that you still get your pre-inspection completed and you should be in good shape with your new car.
Anyone looking at buying a used car should first consider purchasing a certified pre-owned vehicle from a dealer. A CPO vehicle has many benefits over a Craigslist used car, primarily that it has been thoroughly inspected and comes with a warranty.
We’re about to dive into the Nissan certified pre-owned program, including discussing the warranty, inspection, and bonuses.
TLDR; Nissan provides a lackluster CPO program that we do not recommend. The lack of a bumper-to-bumper warranty on their CPO vehicles is a massive downside of their program. While their inspection process looks excellent, the absence of this warranty sticks out. You should only buy a Nissan CPO if you are a fan of Nissan. Otherwise, there are better CPO programs out there.
Nissan’s Certified Pre-Owned Warranty Information
To be eligible for the Nissan certified pre-owned program, a vehicle must meet the below criteria:
Less than six years from the original date in service
Have fewer than 80,000 miles
We should highlight that they’ve phrased the age requirement interestingly. They don’t clarify if the ‘date in service’ is the date the car was made or the date the vehicle was sold. That’s something to clarify if you visit a Nissan dealership, as we could not find any clarification on their website.
What does Nissan’s Certified Pre-Owned Warranty Cover?
Nissan only offers one warranty with their CPO vehicles: a powertrain warranty.
The powertrain warranty covers:
Engine
Transmission
Drivetrain components
More coverage disclosed in a handbook (not available online)
It needs to be mentioned that there is also a $100 deductible for covered repairs. While that may not seem like much, it can add up during the life of a vehicle.
While the powertrain warranty will protect you from significant damage that could total your car, the lack of a bumper-to-bumper warranty is detrimental to the entire program. Almost every automaker offers a specific bumper-to-bumper warranty with their CPO program.
How long does Nissan’s Certified Pre-Owned Warranty Last?
The Nissan certified pre-owned program only has one warranty. It lasts for:
Seven years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first
Begins from the day the vehicle was purchased
This powertrain warranty duration is about average for the industry. Some automakers boost the year range to ten, but 100,000 miles is standard.
We should compare the CPO eligibility against the powertrain warranty. Notice how you could potentially buy a vehicle with only one year left on the warranty or perhaps you only have 20,000 miles left? Since the powertrain warranty duration started counting down when the car was first sold, you should try to buy a newer Nissan certified pre-owned vehicle, if at all possible, to get the most out of the extended warranty.
Should you decide to sell your Nissan while the warranty is still active, it is fully transferable. This bonus can add some excellent resale value to your car. Although, Nissan does not make it clear if there is a fee to transfer the warranty.
Nissan’s Certified Pre-Owned Inspection
Every Nissan certified pre-owned vehicle has been through a 167-point inspection. This amount of inspection points is about average for the auto industry. You can view the complete inspection checklist on Nissan’s website, but we’ll cover the main points below:
VIN verification, including ensuring the VINs all match and the title is clear
Engine condition, including vacuum hoses condition and engine oil sludging
Cooling system, including hoses condition and radiator condition
Fuel system, including fuel point noise and fuel line condition
Electrical system, including overall wiring condition and ignition system operation
Transmission, including clutch operation and transmission mounts
Hybrid system (when applicable), including hybrid battery record level and hybrid electronic control unit diagnostics
Steering/suspension, including tie rods condition and struts/shocks condition
Brakes, including calipers condition and master cylinder operation
Body frame, including checking for rust damage and frame damage
Road test, including engine idle quality and cruise control operation
HVAC, including A/C operational and air cabin filter replacement
Window operation check
Seat belts and airbags check
Audio and alarm check
Interior amenities, including steering wheel lock operation and interior door handle operation
Interior trim, including carpet condition and sun visor condition
Luggage compartment, including light operation and emergency tools
Seats, including upholstery and heated seat operation
Exterior, including overall inspection for damage and light functionality
Tires, including tread depth and alignment
As you can see, their 167-point inspection covers every part of your vehicle. We are impressed by the attention to detail shown in their checklist, even if the overall inspection point number is average. The inspection process is the most substantial part of the Nissan certified pre-owned program.
Be aware that the dealer performs this inspection. You should also obtain a pre-purchase inspection before you make your decision.
Other Nissan Certified Pre-Owned Perks
Every automaker likes to include a few perks with their CPO program. Here’s what Nissan has:
24/7 Roadside Assistance for the duration of the warranty, which covers lockouts, emergency tows to a dealership, fuel delivery, and flat tire service
Each of these perks is standard for the auto industry and they should not persuade you to buy a Nissan CPO car.
Overall, we are not impressed by the Nissan certified pre-owned program. The complete lack of a bumper-to-bumper warranty for their CPO vehicles means that there are thousands of components in the car that are not covered, even if it’s due to a manufacturer defect.
We do not suggest buying a Nissan CPO vehicle unless you’re a specific fan of Nissan. If you’re looking for a CPO vehicle that comes with a great warranty and nice perks, there are other automakers to research.
Buying a Kia certified pre-owned car means your new vehicle has been thoroughly inspected and comes with a comprehensive warranty. Nine times out of ten suggest going for a certified pre-owned vehicle over a Craigslist used car, as long as the financials make sense.
We’re about to review everything you need to know about the Kia certified pre-owned program, including warranty information, the inspection, and the bonuses.
TLDR; Kia has a standard CPO program, which is a good thing. The platinum warranty is transferable for a $40 fee, which increases your resale value. We need to highlight that the powertrain warranty begins on the date that the car was initially sold, or as Kia put it, when the odometer was at 0.
Kia’s Certified Pre-Owned Warranty Information
There are no surprises in the Kia certified pre-owned warranty. We expected that the powertrain warranty would begin on the initial sale date, but that’s something we always like to highlight to avoid confusion.
What does Kia’s Certified Pre-Owned Warranty Cover?
Not every Kia is eligible to become a certified pre-owned car. To qualify for the Kia certified pre-owned warranty, a vehicle must meet the following criteria:
Five years old or newer
Less than 60,000 miles
Comprehensive Platinum Coverage
12 months or 12,000 miles
Covers most components, including interior and exterior
Begins on the day you buy the car
Limited Powertrain Warranty:
10 years or 100,000 miles
Covers the engine, transmission, drivetrain, and other powertrain components.
Begins on the day the car was initially sold
The official Kia website says that exact coverages, exclusions, and limitations apply, but you’ll have to review your contract or see a dealer for details. This lack of transparency is a mark against them since they don’t make these conditions publicly available on their website.
It’s worth noting that Kia’s program has a $50 deductible per visit for warrantied repairs. This fee is unusual for the industry and something we definitely don’t like. However, some other automakers charge deductibles on their CPO extended warranty, so this isn’t unique to Kia.
How long does Kia’s Certified Pre-Owned Warranty Last?
The warranty is mostly what makes buying a pre-owned vehicle worthwhile. Kia provides two warranties with different lengths with all of its CPO vehicles:
Comprehensive Platinum Coverage warranty – 12 months or 12,000 miles
Limited Powertrain Warranty – 10 years or 100,000 miles (begins when the vehicle was first purchased)
Any Kia certified pre-owned vehicle that still has the initial manufacturer powertrain warranty, which is 10 years or 100,000 miles, will be transferred to the new owner. Since the minimum requirements to qualify for the program are 5 years or newer and less than 60,000 miles, every Kia CPO car will come with the powertrain warranty. The difference will be how much longer you have left on it, based on the car’s age and mileage.
Both warranties are fully transferable to a new owner. Thanks to this transferability, your resale value on your Kia certified pre-owned vehicle is boosted, although there is a $40 fee.
Kia’s Certified Pre-Owned Inspection
The Kia certified pre-owned program includes a 164-point inspection. You can view the entire inspection check sheet at the manufacturer’s website. Any inspected vehicle must score 100% to be certified. We’ll go over the main points with you:
Road test, including engine idle performance and steering operation
Emissions, including a standard emissions test and any state-level inspections
Engine compartment, including throttle operation and cold engine idle operation
Transmission, including linkage operations and conditions of seals
Steering and suspension, steering pump operation, and condition of seals
Cooling, including the engine coolant and water pump operation
Exhaust, including exhaust manifolds and muffler damage
Fuel, including fuel pump operation and condition of fuel filter
Brakes, including brake caliper condition and brake lines condition
Electrical, including alarm operation and dash light operation
Heater and AC, including overall AC operation and heater operation
Appearance, including the trim and exterior lights
Kia makes special mention that they use manufacturer-authorized parts for any repairs made during the inspection process. This policy is ideal because many aftermarket parts are known for failing much faster than manufacturer-approved parts.
We should note that Kia inspects more about each car than many other automakers. This extra level of care gives us confidence that their program is only offering the best cars available.
Other Kia Certified Pre-Owned Perks
Every car manufacturer likes to add in some bonuses to tempt you into buying a CPO car. Here’s what Kia offers:
You’ll receive a complete Carfax report of your new vehicle (is Carfax reliable?)
You’ll be given a 3-month trial to SiriusXM
You’ll have access to 24/7 emergency roadside service, which covers all the usual reasons for calls, such as gas delivery, flat tires, and lockouts
You’ll have a $35 per day rental car allowance, up to 10 days if your car is in the shop for warrantied repairs
Ultimately, these perks alone don’t do much to make a CPO car worth it. We think the inspection and warranty are what make a CPO vehicle worthwhile. These perks are just a nice add on.
The Kia certified pre-owned program is well-rounded and undoubtedly in line with the industry standard. There are no surprises. The warranties they offer will give you some peace of mind for the beginning of your car’s life. Buying a certified pre-owned vehicle is exponentially better than going for a random used car that hasn’t been inspected by anyone.
Whether you’re going through eBay, Craigslist, or Facebook Marketplace, you need to know how to buy a car from a private seller. We’re here to arm you with information you can use to secure a reliable car and avoid scams (which are all too prevalent on these peer to peer websites).
You’re about to learn a few easy-to-remember things about how to buy a car from a private seller that will guarantee you are purchasing a roadworthy vehicle. Our hope is that you don’t end up like Riley, or John.
Make Sure the Private Seller has the Title
You should ask if the seller has the title to the car before you even agree to meet them. In your first or second message to them on your chosen platform, ask if they have the title. If they say yes, you should inquire if the title is in their name.
That last part is vital – the title must be in their name. Something you should know about buying a car from a private seller is that some people “jump” the title. This term means they’ve purchased the vehicle from another seller and are now trying to sell it to you without putting the car in their name first. While legal, jumping the title is extremely risky.
You want to avoid someone who is attempting to jump the title because it may indicate they have stolen the car. Surprisingly, some car owners store their title in their glove box (please, never do this!). If someone steals that car that has the title in the glove box, not only do they have a car, but they also have the title. All they have to do is sign the back of the title, and they can sell the car to you.
If you end up buying a stolen vehicle, you’ll end up losing the car. It will likely happen when you go to transfer the title to your name. If you’re lucky, they’ll only take the vehicle and bring you in for questioning. If you’re unlucky, well, it could get much worse.
Of course, purchasing a stolen vehicle is a worst-case scenario. The point is that the person whose name is on the title should be the person that you’re dealing with. Even if the person selling the car claims the title is in their spouse’s name, don’t buy that car.
How to Buy a Car from a Private Seller: Get a Carfax Report
It’s simple; you need to know the history of the vehicle you want to buy. While an honest seller will tell you everything they know, they might leave something out or not know the entire story.
Grab the VIN from them before you meet up and buy a Carfax report (are those reports trustworthy?). The cost of a Carfax report is well worth it to know everything about the vehicle.
The main things you’re looking for on the report are:
Has the car been recalled?
Is this a salvage title?
Has the car been in any accidents?
Another alternative to a Carfax report is to contact your insurance company. They have a wealth of information at their disposal that goes beyond what you could find by Googling the VIN.
However you go about it, be sure you have all of the information you can find about this vehicle. You need to be positive that you aren’t buying a salvage title (unless you want to) and that you are aware of every accident the car has been in.
How to Buy a Car from a Private Seller: A Mechanic Inspection
We always suggest getting a pre-purchase inspection before buying a car, whether you’re buying from a private seller or a dealership.
A pre-purchase inspection is a specific type of vehicle inspection that a mechanic performs in which they look over the car for any apparent issues. They inspect it for any signs of damage, leaks, and any parts that will need to be replaced soon.
The goal of a pre-purchase inspection is to get a well-rounded picture of the vehicle that you’re looking to buy. Depending on the mechanic, they’ll likely give you an overall opinion: “yes, buy this,” or “no, avoid it.”
Combined with the Carfax report, the pre-purchase inspection paints an image of the car’s history and gives you a glimpse into the future. You might discover that the lower control arms are going out or that the alternator is failing. This information can be used to negotiate with the seller or help you decide to avoid buying the vehicle altogether.
Something you should know about how to buy a car from a private seller is that if the seller refuses to let you have the vehicle inspected, just walk away. They could be hiding something intentionally, or they may just be a pain to work with. If they’re worried about handing you the keys to take it to the mechanic, have them go with you.
Be Careful How You Pay for the Car
Due to the price tag and people’s naivety, the private car selling world is filled with various scams. You can avoid most of them by following one piece of advice: if it sounds too good to be true, then it is.
The most common types of scams that we see have to do with how you pay for the car, such as:
Paying with Western Union (this one is common when they don’t let you see the vehicle)
Ask you to pay entirely with gift cards
Want you to pay with cryptocurrency (this isn’t always a scam, but cryptocurrency is often used in scams)
You should only pay for the car with traditional forms of payment. Of course, you should only buy a car you’ve seen in person. That’s right; some scammers try to get people to pay for vehicles they don’t even have.
How to Buy a Car from a Private Seller: Arm Yourself with Information
Information is your greatest tool when it comes to buying a car from a private seller. You should know everything about the vehicle that you possibly can. You should also know simple tips, such as making sure the seller is listed on the title and not paying for the car with strange forms of payment. By arming yourself with information, you’ll be ready to buy a car from a private seller.
