Volkswagen Ireland tells us that their dealerships are welcoming customers back to their showrooms, not only with comprehensive new safety initiatives but now with the introduction of a new ‘Volkswagen ‘Approved Used’ car programme.

Volkswagen says that the new programme is designed to put consumers’ minds at ease when they are considering purchasing a used Volkswagen. Not all used cars are treated equally, but when you buy a used Volkswagen through the official Volkswagen retailer network, they carry out more than a hundred individual quality checks to ensure you’re driving Volkswagen Approved.

It adds that furthermore, all Volkswagen Approved Used cars come with a comprehensive 1-Year Warranty, 1-Year Roadside Assistance, a full vehicle history check and meticulous reconditioning and sanitisation before being handed over to a customer.

In addition, it says that their Volkswagen Approved used car customers can also avail of low-rate 4.9 per cent APR PCP Finance from Volkswagen Financial Services, which includes a guaranteed minimum future value at the end of the contract. Volkswagen is also now offering Used Car Service Plans which will offer a suite of services for every used car customer. They tell us that these are available for just €14.99 per month when combined with a used car finance contract and offers two services over a two-year period.

Finally, Volkswagen Group Ireland says that it recently implemented a new safer measures initiative across their retailers which enhances the virtual and contactless experience in Volkswagen retailers and provides for enhanced safety measures. This initiative means customers can do more of their car shopping from the comfort of their own home and enjoy a safe and relaxed retail experience in their local showroom.
