Jaguar and Volkswagen have the best certified used-vehicle programs, a new ranking cited by Automotive News concludes. For the second straight year, IntelliChoice named the VW brand’s certified program the best among nonluxury automakers. Jaguar took top honors among luxury manufacturers for the fifth time. IntelliChoice bases its annual rankings on factors consumers cite as most important when they shop for certified vehicles. It examined each manufacturer’s inspection program against IntelliChoice’s own 171-point checklist, publisher James Bell said. For example, some certified programs’ inspections merely require that a vehicle has coolant. Others require it to be changed, he said. “These are the elements that should give people the most peace of mind and comfort,” Bell said. Patrick McFall, VW’s general manager of certified pre-owned and corporate sales, said VW cited the IntelliChoice award in its marketing last year. It will do so again next year. “It is nice to be validated,” he said.
