New Car Warranties:
Which is best?
(It might not be who you think)
For the past few years, some automotive manufacturers have been touting their 10-year/100,000 mile warranty as the best in the land. To be honest, Hyundai and Kia offer a pretty good one, as does Mitsubishi and we like their innovative policies, as well. But the Volkswagen People First Warranty from Volkswagen of Orlando, with its new 6-year / 72,000 mile warranty, goes one better. Here's how:
Most vehicle manufacturers divide their warranties into
bumper-to-bumper and powertrain coverages. Bumper-to-bumper policies range from
3 years / 36,000 miles to 5 years / 60,000 miles and cover repairs relating to
materials and workmanship on your car, truck or SUV that may include everything
from a windshield that cracks while turning into your driveway, to a radio that
stops functioning or a heater that blows cold when you wish it to blow hot.
By and large, there is no such a thing as a bad car, but every now and then a mistake happens that requires repair or replacement of a certain part. That's where the Bumper-to-Bumper Warranty comes in for the assist.
Powertrain warranties usually last longer than a typical Bumper-to-Bumper plan. They cover the basic parts of the car, truck or SUV/CUV/SAV that makes the vehicle move. These include the engine, the transmission, the front- or all-wheel-drive systems, the differentials, driveshafts and more. These plans typically last longer than the Bumper-to-Bumper plans. But where is the fun in that?
That's why Volks then wagen (People then car) put owners first by offering an innovative 6 years / 72,000 (whichever occurs first) miles New Vehicle Limited Warranty on all Volkswagen vehicles (except for e-Golf). And that does not break down into separate Bumper-to-Bumper and Powertrain coverages. Instead, it's for everything! At the same time!
What that means is that you will enjoy uninterrupted coverage for all of your new Volkswagen, from the first day you drive it off the lot, all the way to the end of your sixth year or 72,000th mile, whichever happens to come first. No less an authority than U.S. News &World Report magazine has called the Volkswagen warranty the Best Warranty on the road today.
But what if you upgrade to a new larger (or smaller) Volkswagen vehicle instead? There's nothing to worry about there, either. You will be able to leverage the remaining time and/or mileage on your warranty, because Volkswagen allows you to transfer the remaining portion of your coverage to your new buyer. In other words, the warranty is transferable to a new owner at no extra charge.
