Lehman Pre-Owned Report: Where a Car Comes from Matters
Where a Car Comes from Matters
By: Dan Lehr, Lehman Volvo Cars Pre-Owned Sales Manager
When the decision comes to purchase a pre-owned
vehicle, one of the main concerns shoppers have is the history of the
vehicle they are looking to buy. Looking at the differences in model,
equipment, and color combination, each vehicle is unique, and of course, the
history of each vehicle is also unique.
When a car is properly maintained, it should serve a long
and (relatively) drama-free life on the road. However, if routine maintenance
isn’t followed, there are bound to be issues somewhere along the way.
Lehman Volvo Cars is fortunate in that most
of our pre-owned inventory falls into three main
categories: Off-Lease Vehicles, Customer Owned Trade-ins
or Dealership-Owned Vehicles. Let’s take a look…
Off-Lease Vehicles:
A common misconception about off-lease vehicles,
is that they tend to be a little rougher around the edges. Quite the
opposite is true with the off-lease vehicles Lehman Volvo
Cars acquires. With the factory support of complimentary routine
maintenance for 3 years, most off-lease Volvos have had a full history of
proper maintenance.
Off-lease Volvos are also offered exclusively to Volvo
Authorized Dealers before they end up on the auction block. That
means we have first choice in selecting only the finest-condition vehicles as
soon as they are eligible to be purchased.
Customer Trade-ins:
Lehman Volvo Cars has the benefit of
having a very strong customer base and loyalty rate.
As a result, we are constantly trading in well-serviced Volvos on
newer Volvos. These highly sought-after trades are in strong demand
for good reason; there is no guesswork in their maintenance history and of
course, they have been well maintained. Since we service every
Volvo we sell, we know the vehicles very well.
Dealership Owned Vehicles:
Sometimes the best Pre-Owned vehicle you can
buy actually never leaves the ownership of Lehman Volvo Cars. To
help supplement our service loaner fleet, we put new vehicles in our
temporary loaner fleet. When the vehicles are eligible to be put back into
inventory, they can be upgraded with Volvo’s Award-Winning Certified Pre-Owned
Warranty. This provides warranty coverage up to 100,000 Miles or 7
years from when the vehicle first went into service plus you pay less for
your new slightly-used vehicle! Additionally, there may be other
qualifying incentives at the time of purchase to benefit from.
Certified Warranty is the Difference Maker
No matter how we obtain our Pre-Owned vehicles, every
vehicle that is eligible comes standard with the Volvo Certified Pre-Owned
Warranty. The peace of mind provided by this warranty means a rigorous 130
point inspection has been completed, only genuine Volvo parts have been
used AND you have 24 hour roadside assistance during the duration of your
warranty period.
