New Volkwagen scheme helps used van buyers03 September 2013

Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles has launched a national scheme that gives customers a wider choice when buying a used vehicle.

Das WeltAuto is part of the manufacturer's commitment to improving the way it sells used commercial vehicles by providing customers with options in a similar way to those available to new van buyers.

For many businesses Das WeltAuto will help reduce the time spent looking for the right vehicle. Benefits of the programme include a full history check, 12-months warranty and roadside assistance, vehicle data and mileage checks and a 30-day exchange or return policy.

"The launch of Das WeltAuto is part of our commitment to develop long-term partnerships with our customers, enabling our dedicated Van Centre network to sell used vehicles customers can trust," explains Andy Waite, head of sales for Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles in the UK.

"What sets Das WeltAuto apart from other used vehicle schemes is that it takes into consideration the complete buying experience and the importance of a flexible package to meet customers' requirements," he adds.

For each vehicle advertised, a Volkswagen Van Centre will suggest a number of approved accessories to enhance and personalise the vehicle, such as alloy wheel upgrades, parking sensors, cruise control, satellite navigation or Bluetooth/iPod connectivity. The prices shown will include VAT and fitting costs (where appropriate) to make the process as transparent as possible.

Items covered in the Das WeltAuto programme include: a minimum 12 months comprehensive warranty; minimum 12 months Roadside Assistance; technical quality checks; a replacement vehicle – in the event of a breakdown or warranty repair; and vehicle customisation.
