Volvo launches innovative Certified by Volvo program

(November 2, 2018) ROCKLEIGH, N.J.  — Volvo Car USA’s award-winning Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) program continues to grow at a rapid pace. Through October, VCUSA CPO sales are up 24% for the year. Today, VCUSA announced the launch of the Certified by Volvo program, developed to meet the unique needs of certified vehicle buyers.

Through the new Certified by Volvo program, Volvo will offer its first ever unlimited mile certified warranty. Coverage term can be customized to each customer’s needs — extended protection terms of up to 8 years are available.

To meet stringent Certified by Volvo standards, each potential vehicle must be carefully scrutinized by a factory trained technician and pass a 170+ inspection process. Vehicles in the program will also be screened to ensure that their titles and vehicle history meet Certified by Volvo standards — a detailed Carfax vehicle history report is provided with each Certified by Volvo vehicle. Vehicles must be five years or newer with fewer than 80,000 miles to be accepted into the program.

“Certified by Volvo provides immense advantages to us as an organization,” said Rick Bryant, vice president of Sales Operations, Volvo Car USA. “Our internal data indicates that 60%+ of these buyers are new to the brand and interestingly, are every bit as loyal as our new car buyers. In short, Certified by Volvo is one of the key strategic imperatives critical to our long-term growth.”
