Explore an Expansive VW Certified Pre-Owned Inventory in Atlanta, GA

Going for a VW certified pre-owned car or SUV is a step toward the exceptional value you expect from Volkswagen models and the competitive prices you expect from a late-model purchase – all with added benefits like warranty coverage. We carefully curate our certified used VW inventory in Atlanta, GA, with popular models on an ongoing basis. You can often find favorites like a certified pre-owned Volkswagen Jetta or Tiguan. Before you visit Jim Ellis Volkswagen of Chamblee, learn more about the certification process and what that means for you below.

What Is Certified Pre-Owned?

Our VW certified pre-owned inventory in Atlanta, GA, is slightly different from our stock of standard used cars. Have you ever heard the expression that all squares are rectangles, but not every rectangle is a square? The same kind of logic applies to certified pre-owned cars – they’re still used models, but they’re a cut above the rest.

How does that work? As you can see on our homepage for certified pre-owned Volkswagen automobiles, these models must pass a rigorous inspection and reconditioning process at the hands of factory-trained technicians. They also come with extended warranty coverage and other benefits for your peace of mind, which we’ll cover in more detail below.

What Does It Mean To Be Certified by Volkswagen?

Now, let’s get into the specifics of what it means to be certified by Volkswagen. All VW certified pre-owned models must pass a 100+-point inspection designed by the manufacturer. So, when you get your certified used VW Tiguan, Taos, or Atlas, you know it’s been combed over with a fine-tooth comb to ensure it’s in top shape before it’s put up for sale on our lot.

Each car in our VW certified pre-owned inventory in Atlanta, GA, comes with a CARFAX® Vehicle History Report™ and two years of 24-Hour Roadside Assistance.¹ Additionally, you’ll get model-specific protections to back up your purchase. The warranty options are as follows:

• 2019 Models: One-year/12,000-mile (whichever comes first) Comprehensive Limited Warranty²
• 2020 & Newer Models: Two-year/24,000-mile (whichever comes first) Comprehensive Limited Warranty²
• 2019 & Newer Electric Models: Three-year/36,000-mile (whichever comes first) Comprehensive Limited Warranty²

Warranty coverage is far less common for standard used vehicles – especially to this extent – so choosing a certified model can be an exceptionally smart investment.

Pros of Buying Certified Pre-Owned Automobiles

There is a lot to love about shopping our certified used Volkswagen cars for sale. We totally understand wanting to take home one of the latest VW automobiles in the manufacturer’s stable, like an Atlas Cross Sport or Golf GTI. However, if you’re operating in a more budget-minded space, certified models give you that like-new feeling at a competitive price, so you can’t go wrong here either. Just check out some of the many benefits you’ll reap from choosing a certified used VW vehicle:

• Inspection: That 100+-point inspection we mentioned is more than just a once-over. It is an intensive investigation into the heart and soul of the car. Every bell, whistle, nut, and bolt needs to be in place and working properly before it has officially passed inspection. Doesn’t that make you feel a lot better about buying a certified pre-owned car?
• Financing: You’ll find that certified used vehicles may get better financing rates from lenders. While each loan package is individualized, you can, at the very least, expect lower monthly financing payments than if you were to get the same model brand-new.
• Age & Mileage: While certified pre-owned cars are still used, they are relatively newer. Currently, only vehicles as old as the 2019 model year are eligible for certification. They also have mileage restrictions: All options in the Volkswagen Certified Pre-Owned program will have 75,000 miles or fewer on the odometer.
• Support: Certified pre-owned vehicles are all backed by the manufacturer. When you get a used vehicle, you’re often limited to the dealer where you bought your car for warranty coverage, if any even applies. However, with the brand backing that comes with certified used cars, you can get warrantied maintenance at any certified service center, like the one here at Jim Ellis Volkswagen of Chamblee.
