When it comes to graduating college, many graduates are going to be making the biggest decisions of their lives. Moving, finding a career, and even purchasing a new car can cause a lot of stress for those who just spent the last 4 years studying, testing, and making sure that they received a proper education.
Volkswagen knows the hardships that soon to graduate or recently graduated college students go through and are here to help where they can with the Volkswagen College Graduate Program.
The Volkswagen College Graduate Program was put into place to help those who have graduated in the last 2 years, or those who will be graduating save instantly when they go to purchase a new Volkswagen vehicle. All you have to do is check out the qualifications of the program to ensure that you are eligible and today, we are going to look at everything you need to know about the program.
Qualifications
Qualifying for the Volkswagen College Graduate Program requires that you first meet a certain criteria. This starts off with having graduated from an accredited US or Canadian college within the last two years. Those who are planning on graduating in the next 6 months will also qualify. You will also be required to be employed full time those with proof of commitment to a future employer are still eligible. This will be looked at by the financial department to make sure that you have or will have an eligible income to pay off your new Volkswagen. Lastly, you will be required to show US citizenship or permanent residency status.
By meeting each of these criteria, you will be eligible for the Volkswagen College Graduate Program which will allow you to save up to $500 on the first payment on a Volkswagen vehicle that has been purchased through Volkswagen Credit. If you are leasing, the security bonus will be waived by VW.
Little To No Credit
As a college student, your focus is on getting good grades and making sure you make it to class on time, not building a perfect credit score. Good credit scores are vital when purchasing new vehicles as better credit scores offer lower APRs to make your monthly payments lower. This will not be a factor with the Volkswagen College Graduate Program as they will allow new car financing without having a credit history. They will also not require a co-signer when purchasing or leasing through the program. This is a huge help for those who have not had a chance to build up their credit.
In Conclusion
Purchasing a new vehicle when you are about to graduate or have recently graduated is not always an easy thing to do. With student loans, rent, and other expenses, saving an extra $500 on a new, reliable vehicle can be a great help to get a head start on financing your future. Volkswagen truly cares about the future of its customers and the Volkswagen College Graduate Program is just one way they show it.
