Calculating Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for a CPO Volkswagen Car

There are many factors to consider when purchasing a Certified Pre-Owned vehicle. These factors include everything from VW Certified Pre-Owned finance prices to maintenance costs down the road. North Penn Volkswagen is addressing how to calculate the total cost of ownership, or TCO, when you buy CPO.

Purchase Price

The main factor to consider when purchasing a car is the purchase price. While Volkswagen Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) vehicles are typically more affordable than a new car, they cost slightly more than a typical used car due to their many perks:

• 100+-point inspection
• Warranty coverage
• Two years of 24-hour roadside assistance
• CARFAX® vehicle history report
• SiriusXM® trial subscription

Fees

There are also fees associated with your purchase, including document fees and sales tax. There will be additional costs if you decide to finance. Your monthly loan payments will include interest and may include other costs depending on what you’ve borrowed.

Registration

You must register your vehicle to drive it on public roads in Pennsylvania. Your registration cost depends on your vehicle’s age, weight, and type. You’ll also be responsible for renewing your registration every year.

Auto Insurance

You are also required to have your car insured to legally drive it in Pennsylvania. You must have liability insurance to cover any damage you cause in an accident. It’s important to discuss your options with an insurance agent.

Additional Costs

You’ll also have additional costs for using your vehicle, including fuel or charging costs. Plus, vehicles need routine maintenance and part replacements. You may even need repairs over time.
