At Berglund Volvo of Roanoke, we recognize that value is crucial, especially when searching for a luxury vehicle. Whether you're comparing Certified Pre-Owned Volvos or regular pre-owned vehicles, we want to help you make an informed decision that suits your budget, lifestyle, and level of peace of mind.

Let's sort out the significant differences so that you can make your next Volvo confidently.

What is the Difference Between Pre-Owned and Certified Pre-Owned?

Pre-Owned Volvo

  • Can Vary in Age, Mileage, and Condition
  • Priced Lower than Certified by Volvo Vehicles
  • May or May Not Include Warranty Coverage
  • Best for Buyers Who Want a Lower Price Point

Certified by Volvo

  • Must be Less than 5 Years Old with Less than 80,000 Miles
  • Passes a Thorough 170-point Inspection by Volvo-Trained Technicians
  • Features a Factory-Backed 5-Year, Unlimited-Mile Warranty from the Vehicle's Original In-Service Date
  • Includes 24/7 Roadside Assistance and Travel Protection Benefits
  • Provides Increased Confidence with a CARFAX® Vehicle History Report

If you want near-new condition, no surprises, and added coverage, a Certified by Volvo vehicle is the perfect selection.

Certified by Volvo: Premium Protection and Perks

All Certified by Volvo vehicles at our dealership must meet the highest standards before they receive their stamp of approval. Here's what you can expect when you choose one:

  • Factory-Backed Warranty: Every certified vehicle is backed by a 5-year, unlimited-mile warranty that covers thousands of components, including the engine and transmission, climate systems, and more. You'll also have no deductible on work done under warranty.
  • 170-Point Safety and Quality Inspection: Only factory-trained Volvo technicians perform this comprehensive inspection. Repairs and replacements are made using genuine Volvo parts.
  • CARFAX® History Report: Every vehicle has a clean title and an in-depth CARFAX® report, so you know what you're getting.

    • Emergency Fuel Delivery
    • Trip Interruption Protection up to $1,000 for meals, lodging, and transportation in the event of a breakdown more than 150 miles from home.
  • Fully Transferable Protection: Want to sell your Volvo in the future? The warranty is transferable in full – another boost to resale value.
