Volkswagen's Das Welt Auto program gives customers the opportunity to get into quality used vehicles with a variety of finance and leasing options.
While Volkswagen Australia continues to find homes for its family of new vehicles, the brand also offers customers the opportunity to purchase quality, certified used vehicles as part of its national Das Welt Auto program.
The program offers a regular fleet of pre-owned vehicles that have undergone an intensive 114-point check by a qualified Volkswagen technician.
Better still, customers can also benefit from a full range of finance and leasing options, backed by Volkswagen Financial Services.
Moreover the balance of the five year/unlimited kilometre warranty that has applied to all new Volkswagen vehicles since October 2018 will transfer to the purchaser of a used VW.
2018 proved a record year for the Das Welt Auto Program with 1889 certified pre-owned vehicles sold; and 2019 is shaping up the same way – with a 100 per cent clearance rate at dealer auctions in January.
Andrew Nuqui, National Pre-Owned Manager, was pleased with the program's success and how it has been embraced by Volkswagen's 105-strong dealer network.
"Das Welt Auto offers our dealers and, in turn, our customers quality pre-owned and high specification ex-executive vehicles with all the benefits of a new car at an attractive price," Mr. Nuqui said.
"This has ensured that our dealer partners have quality used stock, and our customers have the peace of mind in knowing their vehicle has met the exacting requirements set by Volkswagen. Das Welt Auto is all about buying with confidence, and based on our 2018 sales performance that message has been conveyed loud and clear."
In 2019, the Das Welt Auto program will continue to evolve, with a greater pool of ex-Volkswagen company vehicles, and working further with a new residual value setting process that analyses market trends in real time – ensuring customers get the best value for their money.
