As cars continue to change and evolve, so do our expectations for them. We want them to be fuel efficient but also deliver strong acceleration and reach high speeds. We want them to look and feel great on the road but also not break the bank.

The Volkswagen TDI models meet both of these requirements and more. Let’s take a look at why you should choose a certified pre-owned (CPO) VW TDI.

Top 3 Reasons A Certified Pre-Owned VW TDI is a Smart Buy

Fuel Efficiency

From commutes to road trips, every drive will be a breeze with Volkswagen TDI cars’ superb fuel efficiency. The 2015 VW Jetta TDI can reach up to 46 mpg on the highway. Meanwhile, the 2015 VW Passat TDI offers a fuel economy of 44 highway mpg. And even with this efficiency, both models offer plenty of horsepower.

Street Volkswagen’s CPO Program

Not all dealerships’ certified pre-owned standards are the same, which means it’s important to get the facts before you make a purchase. With Street Volkswagen’s CPO Program, you’ll get the following benefits:

• 2-Year/24,000-mile limited warranty
• 24-hour roadside assistance program
• 112-point dealer inspection
• CARFAX® vehicle report
• SiriusXM® satellite radio

Dealer Discounts

Used cars always offer the perk of a reduced price tag, but at Street Volkswagen, you can also find dealer discounts on all TDI vehicles. Ranging from $600 to $3,725, you won’t want to miss out on these deals.

For every used car for sale in Amarillo, Texas, there’s a reason to buy a used Volkswagen Jetta. Volkswagen is the world’s second largest automobile manufacturer, and the Jetta is the brand’s best selling model, with over 14 billion of them sold since 1979. That means there’s a lot of used Jettas out there for shoppers to choose from.

Why Buy a Used Jetta?

What makes a used Volkswagen Jetta a smart purchase? You can start with quality. When buying a used car, you’ll need something with proven reliability, and the Jetta has racked up awards such as the NADA Guides’ “Car of the Year” and the AJAC’s “Small Car of the Year.” The Jetta is German-engineered, which is the epitome of smart design, quality manufacturing, and lasting durability.

Next, consider the affordability of a used Volkswagen Jetta. You get pick up a used Jetta that’s only a few years old for a fraction of its new sticker price. And when you add in the generous financing offers at Street VW in Amarillo, you’ll get the most value for your dollar. Our friendly staff has relationships with a number of area lenders and we have the flexibility to work with any credit situation.

Safety should always be discussed when buying a used car as many older models lack cutting edge safety technology. That’s not the case with the VW Jetta however. The Jetta has been named a Top Safety Pick or Top Safety Pick+ by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety every year since 2008.

Caring for Your Used Jetta

A used Volkswagen Jetta is a smart purchase. But in order to maximize your investment, it’s important to take proper care of it and perform regular preventive maintenance. This includes fluid changes, tire rotations, brake inspections and more. The staff members in our service center know your Volkswagen Jetta like the backs of their hands and a short stop-in for a tuneup can ensure your Jetta will stay on the road for the long haul.

Come to Street VW on Pilgrim Drive in Amarillo, Texas, to check out our inventory of used Jettas and take one out for a test drive today. It won’t be long before you realize that a used VW Jetta is the car for you.

The Volkswagen lineup is as diverse as the drivers on the road. With sedans, SUVs, wagons and compacts, Volkswagen has designed a car to fit any personality, taste, and driving style. So which VW car is right for you?

Finding the Volkswagen Car For You

Sedans

Volkswagen holds its own in the ultra-competitive sedan class with three different cars for three different drivers.

• Jetta. Volkswagen’s best-selling model that has been rolling off the assembly line since 1979 speaks of safety, sophistication, and fuel economy.
• Passat. More spacious than the Jetta, the Passat offers a little more practicality inside a more conservative exterior design.
• CC. The CC is the Volkswagen sedan with a more premium look. The lower roofline gives it a bit of a coupe feel.

SUVs

The popularity of SUVs has taken off over the last decade and Volkswagen forayed into this class with two larger cars to meet the demand.

• Tiguan. The Tiguan is a tidier SUV with a peppy turbocharged engine to match. The nimbleness is exactly what you would expect from a Volkswagen.
• Touareg. The Touareg is a step up from the Tiguan in terms of luxury, and it comes standard with all-wheel drive.

Wagons

Nobody knows wagons like Volkswagen and the brand continues to raise the bar in this category.

• Golf SportWagen. The Golf SportWagen is a unique mix of the interior space and versatility offered by an SUV but with the sleekness and driveability of a sedan.
• Golf Alltrack. The Alltrack is strikingly similar in design to the popular Subaru Outback but comes with a higher fun factor.

Compacts

Small, nimble, and zippy. That’s what most people imagine when they think of Volkswagen, and these two compact designs are two of the staples of the brand.

• Beetle. Everyone knows the VW Beetle and the latest model year strikes a perfect balance between retro style and functional driving.
• Golf. The Golf model is most at home in the compact market, offering the economical Golf, the sportier GTI, the electric e-Golf and the higher-performance Golf R.

Convertibles

Volkswagen let its hair down to appeal to a whole new segment of drivers.

• Beetle Convertible. Love everything about the Beetle except the roof over your head? Consider the head-turning convertible.

Sedans aren’t typically something car enthusiasts get too worked up about. Sedans are usually chosen for their fuel efficiency, affordability, and family focused comfort, instead of for innovative style and performance.

Not anymore.

Volkswagen knows that you don’t want to compromise. That’s why the 2017 Jetta gives you all the practicality of a sedan, combined with unprecedented style, sportiness, and performance.

Superior Design, Compelling Performance

Performance

With a remarkable 28 City/40 Highway MPG, you’ll be spending a lot more time adventuring and much less time at the pump. This impressive fuel efficiency is delivered by a 1.4L Turbo engine, making sure your driving experience stays energized and fun. But don’t worry, if the 1.4L Turbo isn’t quite your style, pick from one of the Jetta’s three engine options, and you’re sure to find the right performance for you.

The Jetta’s unique 4-corner independent suspension makes sure that you are in full control of the road while enjoying a smooth, relaxing ride.

Style

Weather can change at the drop of a hat. Volkswagen knows that you need innovative capabilities to make sure you’re always prepared, rain or shine. With heated front seats, Climatronic® dual-zone automatic climate control, and a power tilting/sliding sunroof, you’ll be ready to make the most out of your drive in all weather conditions.

Other thoughtful stylistic additions include:

• Sport seats
• Keyless access with push-button start
• 17” alloy wheels

Technology

VW’s Car-Net® App-Connect allows you to plug in your smartphone and use all of your favorite apps right from the touchscreen display. Get instant, convenient access to:

• Podcasts
• Music
• Maps

The Fender® Premium Audio System delivers 400 watts of power, making sure that your commute feels like a concert. In addition to all the fun you’ll have in your 2017 Jetta, you’ll also be highly functional. With a rearview camera system, premium color multi-function trip computer, and an advanced navigation system, VW Car-Net Guide & Inform, you’ll be prepared for the whole trip.

Safety

You can’t overestimate the value of having peace of mind on the road. That’s why Volkswagen’s Driver Assistance features are there to be an extra set of eyes and ears. Premier safety technologies include:

• Blind Spot Monitor
• Park Pilot
• Rear Traffic Alert
• Adaptive Cruise Control
• Front Assist

These technologies adapt to perilous driving conditions at a moment’s notice. Your 2017 Jetta makes sure your commute comes with less hassle and stress.

Turbocharge Your Commute with the GLI Trim

For those who crave even more athleticism in their drives, opt for the turbocharged Jetta GLI. This trim comes standard with a 2.0T 4-cylinder TSI® engine that yields an impressive 210 HP, ensuring a powerful commute.

Pick from one of two transmissions: the 6-speed manual transmission or the 6-speed DSG® automatic transmission with Tiptronic® and Sport Mode. Either way, you’ll feel ready for the track.

Sport suspension gives you sharper handling and more intimate control wherever you go. A leather-wrapped sport steering wheel and 18” Mallory wheels ensures that your driving experience is packed with athletic style.

People on a budget, or even those who have plenty to spend on their next car, may want to consider buying a used VW. You’ll get the same impressive vehicle, but at a much lower price, as well as some additional advantages.

With the number of used cars for sale in Amarillo, Texas, there is no reason to put off checking out what’s on offer. If you need some anyway, here are six benefits to buying a used VW.

The Advantages of Used Cars in Amarillo

Initial Savings

The most obvious reason for buying a used car rather than a new one is to save money. Even purchasing a Volkswagen from the previous model year can save you thousands of dollars. If you’re willing to look at an older model year, your initial cost will decrease even more. A lower upfront cost would also allow you to get more features than you could otherwise afford, as you would be paying the same price.

Reduced Insurance

In addition to costing less initially and making lower monthly payments, used cars from Volkswagen tend to have lower insurance rates. Since used vehicles are not valued as much as newer models, insurance companies cannot charge you as much. Therefore, you save even more money each month.

Less Depreciation

Most people buy a car to get from point A to B, not as an investment. However, you shouldn’t discount depreciation.

If you plan on selling your VW in the future, then a used model will have significantly less depreciation than a new one. In fact, since the largest chunk of depreciation occurs within the first year, buying used lets you take advantage of it, rather than losing money because of it.

Confirmed Reliability

With a used Volkswagen, research will confirm that the vehicle is as reliable as you hope. By choosing a VW model that came out a year or two prior, you will have numerous reviews to read, thereby confirming your decision.

Lower Environmental Impact

Do not forget that buying a used car also helps the environment. When you buy new, every single part has to be manufactured whereas with a used vehicle, you know that parts are being used to their fullest potential.

Extra Benefits of Certified Pre-Owned VWs

While any used cars from Volkswagen will provide you with the benefits discussed above,  certified pre-owned models make even more sense. These models have undergone a 112-point inspection to ensure that everything functions as it is supposed to. You will also receive the associated Vehicle History Report that gives you further peace of mind.

Certified models also come with extra benefits, such as a 24,000-mile/2-year Bumper-to-Bumper Limited Warranty and 24 Hour Roadside Assistance for two years.

Where to Find Used Volkswagens

Whether you want a used or certified pre-owned Volkswagen, the team at Street VW can help. We have an extensive selection at our Amarillo, Texas, dealership. Visit us today to learn more or take one or more models for a test drive.

Have you been wondering whether a compact car was right for you? If you are looking for a car with high gas mileage and tons of cargo space, a Volkswagen Golf is it. Come look at our online inventory for a new Volkswagen Golf at Street Volkswagen in Amarillo.

What’s So Great About a Volkswagen Golf Anyway?

Versatility

With four doors, conversion seats, and a rearview camera system, the Golf combines the best features of both a sedan and an SUV. Most automotive critics consider it one of the most versatile compact cars. With 52.7 cubic feet of cargo space, you can pack for everything from an afternoon at the country club to a week-long road trip up through the southwest United States, the Golf can accommodate it all.

It comes in manual and automatic transmissions, so pick your preference.

Technologically Advanced

If you love when technology helps you drive, listen to music, or talk on your phone, the Golf has you covered.

With the standard rearview camera system, backup with ease and avoid obstacles that might otherwise go unnoticed. There’s also available packages to enhance your driving experience, such as Front Assist and Rear Traffic Alert, which both notify you of any threat of collision.

A 3-month trial subscription of SiriusXM® Satellite Radio comes with any Golf. This lets you customize what you listen to through your 8-speaker system. But the front zone tech doesn’t stop there, you’ll find a USB port to make charging and syncing your device simple. Bluetooth® and streaming audio capability creates the perfect atmosphere for hands-free phone and music control.

Efficiency

With an EPA rating of 25 MPG city and 36 MPG highway, Golfs are high performance compact cars. They have the feel of a larger vehicle, with the benefits that come with having a smaller car.

It might not be able to tow, but you’ll have an easier time driving this vehicle in a city than larger vehicles. Taking sharp turns with the precision handling will be a breeze, as will parallel parking on city streets.

Performance isn’t the only place you’ll find efficiency in the Golf’s design. With the 60/40 split back seats, you can expand the already large hatchback space to accommodate any big items. If you are taking a trip to the mountains, you might want to add a snowboard/ski attachment kit to the roof to allow you to bring along all your essentials.

Find a Golf That Fits Your Needs in Amarillo

There are endless possibilities to tailoring your Golf to what you need and want in a car. Let Street Volkswagen help you find the exact car for you. Browse our inventory and please call us with any questions.
