VWs Now Have 6 Year Warranties
This week, Volkswagen announced 6-year/72,000 mile bumper-to-bumper warranties on all of their new vehicles, in an effort to win back customers after their diesel emission scandal.
Volkswagen now offers the best bumper-to-bumper warranty of any brand, beating Hyundai / Kia's 5 year/60K warranties (although Hyundai / Kia does offer 10 year / 100K miles on their powertrain). This is double what most manufacturers offer.
In addition, Volkswagen's warranty is fully transferable if the vehicle is sold.
As always, I recommend using TrueCar No Haggle and Edmunds Price Promise to see the lowest prices your local dealers are willing to offer.
My Recommendation for Car Shoppers
TrueCar, Edmunds, and 1-800 Car Show are the quickest way to see the lowest car prices in your area. These sites show you no-haggle prices from dealers closest to you - and the deals are usually really good. This should be the first step you take when negotiating your car price. Follow this up with my checklist to make sure you squeeze out every last bit of savings.- Gregg Fidan
