Fiore Volkswagen wants to give you cash* for your car! The automotive market is currently experiencing shortages, which means pre-owned vehicles are in high demand. Now you might not be in the market for a new vehicle, but since the demand is so high for used cars, you could sell or trade in your current vehicle and get more for your ride today than yesterday! And with the road trip season/ summer right around the corner, right now might be the perfect time to upgrade. Not looking to upgrade, just looking to sell? No problem, Fiore Volkswagen wants your vehicle, even if you don’t buy from us! However, we understand some customers prefer to sell privately, but we wanted to take this week to share some noteworthy pros to selling your vehicle to a dealership like Fiore VW. So take a peek below and see if selling your vehicle to our team would benefit you. If so, Fiore Volkswagen is a premier Kelley Blue Book Buying Center, which means you can head over to our site to get your KBB Instant Cash Offer now! Want to speak to a professional about your options? No problem, head into our finance department for more information! See you soon! Save Time/ Get Cash Fast Selling your car to a dealer is the fastest way to get paid. When you take your pre-owned car to a dealership, you can be in and out of the door within a few hours. However, when you sell privately, it could take weeks or even months. Dealerships love buying and adding pre-owned vehicles to their lots because, according to Cox Automotive 2018 Used Car Market Report, about 70% of annual vehicle sales are used cars. Convenience Selling your vehicle privately can be a hassle. It involves advertising the car, detailing it, arranging times for potential buyers to test-drive the car. You must also do all the bargaining, and there’s always the risk that the buyer will back out at any time. When you sell to a dealership you’ll drive into your dealership, make the sale, and go home—how much easier can it get? It’s Simple Paperwork is a headache - so leave it to the dealership! Dealers will handle all the paperwork for you and the DMV, so you won’t have to worry about anything other than the price and signing your name. With a third party or private buyer, you’ll have to deal with all title transfers and bill of sales. Save Money With Potential Tax Breaks In most cases*, when you sell your vehicle to the dealership and buy from them at the same time (trade-in), you’ll save money on the sales tax of your new car. For instance, if you trade in a car for $5,000 and purchase a new vehicle for $20,000, you may only have to pay taxes on $15,000. Tax credits may also be available for select new vehicles, including hybrids and electric cars. *See dealer for more details Sell Us Your Vehicle!

The warm weather is finally here!! We are confident many of you are just itching to hit the open road for some fun in the sun, and we don’t blame you! However, we want to be reminded that just because the snow might be gone, driving in the spring months can be dangerous too. With a lot more people on the road, in cars, and walking, it’s extremely important to slow down and keep an eye out. Spring also brings heavy rain at times, which can cause the road to become slippery or even experience flooding. If you find yourself in this situation it might be safest to pull over and wait out the storm. With so many new factors to take into consideration during spring, it might be a good idea to check out our spring driving tips below for a refresher! And as always, if you’re looking to upgrade your drive or need some spring service for your beloved VW, just head over to our website to schedule appointments or browse our inventory now! Be On The Lookout For Potholes: Winter weather takes a big toll on our roadways, which leads to some pretty nasty potholes. If you're speeding down the road and don’t slow down in time and hit a pothole, then chances are that your vehicle is gonna have some damage, serious damage. Damage can include a punctured tire, bent rim, suspension damage, poor alignment, and exhaust system damage. Slow Down For Spring Showers: Did you know that roads are most slippery when it first starts to rain? This is caused by rainwater mixing with contaminants on the road, such as oil and grease. Make sure to increase your following distance to allow for proper braking. Watch For Animals On The Move: Animal activity is up when the weather starts getting nicer. That means keep an eye out and drive slow especially for animals like deer that are known to be out at dusk and dawn. Watch For Pedestrians: Similar to animals, people tend to be out and about more when the weather starts getting warmer. Whether that means there are more walkers, cyclists or kids play hopscotch. Be sure to slow down especially in residential neighborhoods and busy streets. Share The Road With Motorcycles: Spring is when the motorcycle riders come out, and because of their speed and size, they may come in and out of your blind spots quickly. Be sure to listen to the sound of their bike and take a few extra seconds before switching lanes. If you are following a motorcycle, remember to leave a good amount of space in between. Maintain Proper Tire Pressure: During the winter months, your tires lose air due to the cold temperatures, this causes your tire to be under-deflated. Vice-versa, warm weather will cause them to be over-inflated. Each situation can lead to increased wear and poor handling. Inspect Your Tires: Spring will bring the showers and when that happens making sure your tire tread is in shape is important to the quality of your driving. Just like snow, rain makes the road slippery, and having good tires will make or break your driving experience. Remember to use easy tricks like the penny test to check your tire tread and regularly check your tire pressure if your vehicle doesn’t display it for you. Pay Attention In Construction Zones: When the snow washes away and the spring days are here to stay, construction will start up again. One thing to keep in mind is that construction zones ask you to slow down for a reason, do it. Remember to... Be attentive. Construction workers and equipment may suddenly enter the roadway. Traffic patterns can change daily to accommodate the work being done. Understand and follow the signs. Make safe lane changes. Solid lines in construction zones mean that you should stay in your lane. Slow down. Fines may be doubled in construction zones. In addition, slowing down can save a life. Service Your VW Now!

Step 1: Sort and clean Take everything out of the car, including car seats, music, and miscellaneous items stored in the glove box and door pockets. Don't forget the trunk and cargo area! Organize the rest of the items into three piles: stuff you use all the time, things you use occasionally, and items you might need in an emergency. Whatever doesn't fall into these categories should be stored in your home or garage. Step 2: Analyze Ask yourself, "How do I use my car?" Are you the taxi driver? Maybe you’re a parent with two toddlers in car seats or a salesman who travels with a trunkload of samples. Whatever it is, figure it out. Step 3: Prioritize Depending upon your needs, go through your three piles and prioritize the most important items in each group And just like seasonal clothes in a closet, many items such as ice scrapers and emergency kits should be stored back in your vehicle Step 4: Contain your needs Loose objects in the car lead to disorganization and mess. In the event of a sudden stop or a crash, they can also damage your car or, worse, injure your occupants. Get yourself a good organizer to keep all of your items concise and easy to access.

Fiore Volkswagen is back with another week of automotive information you’re not going to want to miss out on! This week we are here to spill the beans on some top-secret information other dealerships don’t want you to know. Lucky for you, Fiore Volkswagen is here to deliver the scoop! With winter right around the corner, now is the time to slip behind the wheel of a new, more reliable vehicle. However, many of our customers are concerned that right now might not be the right time with the holidays quickly approaching. However, this week we’re letting you in on 4 secrets as to why November is the month to buy! Take a peek below and if you change your mind, be sure to browse our available inventory! Once you find the Volkswagen for you, be sure to schedule your test drive online or stop into Fiore Volkswagen today! Reasons To Buy This November Goodbye 2020’s Hello 2021’s As we approach the end of the year, new model year vehicles make their way onto dealerships lots This means dealerships must make room for the incoming inventory. This means finding unbeatable incentives, offers, and savings on remaining inventory shouldn’t be too hard! Thanksgiving/Black Friday Deals Thanksgiving/Black Friday is known for producing HUGE DEALS on just about anything you can purchase. This is no different for car dealerships. It’s not guaranteed, but most dealerships will do a Black Friday savings event to offer money off new vehicles, dropping lease offers, or even low financing. We suggest taking some time to do research on the vehicle you’re looking for, and seeing what kind of sales are being offered during these events! Compact & Mid-Sized Sedan Savings Because of the winter months, SUVs are in high demand, which means you won’t find huge incentives on these types of vehicles. However, if you’re looking for a compact/ mid-sized sedan or hatchback, you might get lucky with deals because fewer shoppers are looking for them this time of year. Sales Quotas Every dealership has a year-end goal, aka a number of vehicles they want to be sold. With the year coming to an end, they will really be pushing to hit their goal. This is good news for shoppers because the dealership might be offering bug deals to help move inventory to meet their quotas! Find Your VW NOW!
