Frequently Asked Questions About Buying a Used Car
Why should I buy from a dealership?
Purchasing from a dealership ensures security and peace of mind in your buying experience. At Steve White Volkswagen, we provide clear, transparent pricing and are legally obligated to disclose all vehicle details, allowing you to make an informed and confident decision. We also offer exclusive used car specials and invite you to return to our service department for maintenance where you'll see familiar faces who understand your vehicle's history. When buying from a private party, you may not get the same level of protection or accurate information about the car’s history, and ongoing support is rarely guaranteed.
What is the difference between used and certified pre-owned?
Certified pre-owned (CPO) Volkswagen vehicles undergo a comprehensive 100+ point inspection and include warranty coverage from Volkswagen. If you’re considering a Volkswagen, CPO Volkswagen vehicles can give you added assurance on the road. While standard used vehicles may not have the same certification, they still offer excellent value and a wide range of options.
What is good mileage on a used car?
The definition of "good mileage" has evolved over the years. Thanks to modern engineering and improved powertrain technology, many vehicles can reliably last up to 200,000 miles—and some even beyond 300,000 with regular maintenance, allowing you to count on them for the long road ahead. However, longevity varies by make and model, so it’s smart to research the expected lifespan of your preferred vehicle to have a better idea of what you can expect.
How do I know that I'm getting a good deal?
Shopping at Steve White Volkswagen means you can count on a competitive price. Still, it’s wise to compare market values through trusted sources like Kelley Blue Book® or Edmunds. If you’re trading in your current vehicle, be sure to use our online trade-in estimator—it can help maximize your deal and lower your out-of-pocket costs.


Can I finance a used vehicle?
Yes, financing options are available on our used vehicle inventory. Our finance team works with a variety of lenders to help secure financing for all credit situations. Contact us or get started online to explore your options.
Can I trade in my current car?
Absolutely! We offer fair-market value for trade-ins, which you can apply toward your next vehicle purchase. Use our online tool or contact us for a personalized appraisal.
Do used vehicles come with a warranty?
Some used vehicles may have remaining factory warranty coverage or may qualify for extended service plans. Certified pre-owned Volkswagen models come with limited warranty protection backed by the manufacturer. If you see a particular used vehicle in our inventory and want to know whether it has any remaining warranty coverage, ask our team and we’ll be happy to provide you with that information.
How do I schedule a test drive?
We’d love to help you get behind the wheel. Simply contact us and a member of our team will schedule a time that works for you.
