College Graduate Program Providence RI

College graduation is only a few short weeks away for Rhode Island students, and as they tidy up their final semesters and try to resist the urge to party away the remaining days, they have many things to consider. Future job opportunities, summer plans, location changes--the list is long. At Speedcraft VW near Providence, RI, we are hoping to ease a bit of the load by way of our College Graduate Program, which is now available to upcoming and recent college graduates.

It doesn’t matter whether you went to University of Rhode Island, or Brown, or even if you went to college in Rhode Island at all; as long as your recent or upcoming graduation is from an accredited two- or four-year U.S. or Canadian college or university, you are eligible. So, how do you get started? The easy process of the College Graduate Program will make your new transition as seamless as possible. First, you need to meet some simple criteria: you must have graduated in the last 24 months or be graduating in the next six months. and you must have a full-time job or written confirmation of an upcoming job. You will also need three personal references to verify what an amazing and talented individual you are, and you must be approved by Volkswagen Credit. The credit confirmation is free and easy, and the great thing about the College Graduate Program is that if you don’t have any credit history, it’s not a problem. However, if you do have existing credit, it must be in good standing. Once you have cleared the credit and reference check, it’s time to make a big decision: to buy, or to lease? Regardless of which option you choose at Speedcraft VW near Providence, we will contribute $500 towards your purchase! Should you choose to buy, no co-signer will be required, and if you go with the popular lease option, we waive the security deposit. In both cases, you will be off on your way in a brand new Volkswagen! The College Graduate Program is the perfect way to begin your new life as a college graduate. To learn all of the ways that the College Graduate Program can benefit you, or to get a first look at your future Volkswagen, contact us at Speedcraft VW near Providence today!

Don't Panic! Four Simple Car Shopping Tips

Four Car Shopping Tips So, you’ve decided to take the plunge. You’ve had a good run with your car, but you aren’t the recent college grad or single adult you were when you bought it, and your needs have changed. At Speedcraft VW, we’re pretty well-versed in accommodating these lifestyle shifts, and maintain a variety of services to cater specifically to these changes. But what do you need to know prior to your vehicle purchase? Here are four car shopping tips to consider prior to your visit; we hope to see you soon! 1) Get an Idea What You Have. Are you considering your present vehicle as a trade? Sometimes, your current vehicle can act as your whole down payment, which greatly cuts into the financial burden you’ll be taking on with your new vehicle. Using our handy “Value Your Trade” tool, you can get an AutoTrader-estimated value before you ever leave your house. You can also apply for financing, and get an idea what sort of rates you can expect to receive once you arrive at Speedcraft VW. Information on many vehicles, including the popular VW Jetta Sportwagen, can be found on our website. 2) Look for Rebates and Incentives. This is frequently one of those “How will you know if you don’t ask” situations. Most dealerships feature special financing for first-time buyers, recent college graduates and the like. Speedcraft VW, of course, is no different. We feature regular factory incentives and new car specials, in addition to our popular College Grad Program. Contact our dealership for details! 3) Do your Homework Online. As many buyers become more and more tech savvy, an increasing amount of the early research can now be done online. Brochures and vehicle information are generally available on a dealership’s website. For example, looking for info regarding the new 2015 GTI or Golf? You can now find a wealth of information easily online at our website, eliminating much of the stress and headache associated with vehicle research. 4) Calculate your Fuel Savings. Although we all are cognizant of fuel economy ratings, we seldom consider the tangible benefits of an extremely efficient car. For example, say you’re trading a car that gets 25 mpg for the new Passat TDI, which regularly achieves 40 mpg on the highway, and your driving habits will remain the same. If you drive 12,000 miles per year, you might reasonably expect to consume as much as 200 gallons fewer per year, which translates to nearly $1,000. These are savings you’ll notice. So, are you ready to think about the many options available to you at Speedcraft VW? Then pay us a visit in the Providence RI area, and we’d be happy to answer any and all questions that might arise. See you soon at Speedcraft VW!

With a new website comes new rewards, new deals, and more savings than ever before through SpeedcraftVW.com If you are a savvy car shopper, which you are or you wouldn’t be here reading this, then you are most likely looking for a real deal. Unlike those dealers who bury prices or make you give up your name and phone number before even telling you the best deal on the lot, we lay it all out for you. With our new website, we wanted to focus on transparency. We wanted to make specials a priority, and we wanted to make sure you knew when you were getting a good deal. There are More VW Specials Than Ever on Our New Site. So we thought we’d take a little time to highlight a few of the big ones. Volkswagen has always been better than most when it comes to keeping new car prices low. And yet, here at Speedcraft, we take it a step further with our New Car Special Offers, which are updated regularly. As of this writing, we have nine brand new models showcased here with easy to scan information. You can quickly see the best lease deals, the lowest imaginable price of a particular model, view that model’s inventory to see exactly which colors and trim levels we have in stock, and you can request a little more info about that specific car. We wanted to make shopping for new cars as easy as possible. We wanted to make shopping for our Certified Pre-Owned Volkswagen models a breeze, too. So we rounded up all our pre-owned VWs onto a single web page for easier browsing. On this one page, you can view the Kelley Blue Book Price Advisor report for every single pre-owned VW on our lot. It complies the entire history of the vehicle, the most recent inspection report, and details why the car is valued at the given price. Moreover, we are dedicated to getting our pre-owned Volkswagen models back out onto the roads as soon as possible. So if one of our used models piques your interest, get an E-Price right from this page. You can finally shop online with confidence knowing that this price can’t be beat. We also work closely with VW to keep national finance offers and lease options compiled in one central location. We want finding the best deal to be easy, and from time-to-time Volkswagen headquarters puts out absolutely unbelievable deals. The Current Incentives page from VW shows you some of the best deals in the country, and it’s a place where you can even read the fine print if you so choose. You can get a quote or ask a question about every model we carry, and beyond that you can also roll up your sleeves and research every feature of every model offered with an incentive. Our Service Specials page is the sort of thing dreams are made of. If you have a coupon clipper in your family, send them here. They can shop for all the best deals from our top-notch Service Department, print the coupon directly from the same page, or even send the coupon to their phone via text or email. We said we wanted to make things easier on you, and we are really proud of this feature. You will also see that right now we have a coupon there for our Oil Maintenance Plan, which saves you over $300 on oil changes. You can read more about that unbelievable deal here. Finally, we also know that starting out in life can be a daunting task. And while we put a lot of effort into making the car buying easier for everyone, we wanted to take a little pressure off recent and soon-to-be college graduates by making your first car payment for you. All of the details on our College Graduate Program are here. It is our hope that by putting all of our specials, incentives, coupons, and savings programs together in one place that you can shop with confidence, knowing we are doing everything we can to get you the best deal possible. We will continue to update our specials pages regularly, so be sure to check back from time-to-time.
