Save Driving in Wisconsin
In 2011, travel on U.S. roads fell to its lowest level since 2003. This decline made 2011 one of the safest years on record, but 2012 was a different story. If you live in Wisconsin, you may remember the unseasonably warm weather we had on Easter last year. According to NHTSA, “drivers logged 15.6 billion more miles behind the wheel in the first six months of 2012 alone.” Higher travel, most likely due to the nicer weather, led to more fatality rates in 2012. The spike in traffic deaths represent the most dramatic change since 1979. 2013 presents an opportunity to make some changes and take precautions for a much safer year. If you’re in the process of choosing a safe vehicle for you and your family, you may find the links below both helpful and educational.

All the Buzz is about AWD
If you haven’t looked at Volvo lately,

Earlier this month,
AutoTrader quoted that Volvo’s 2013 XC60 crossover is a stylish and attractive alternative to other big players in this sector, such as the Audi Q3 and BMW X3. They named the 2013 Volvo XC60 R-Design AWD as one of it’s top 5 picks for February new car deals. It comes with lots of specials extra’s too, such as heated front seats, rear parking sensors and tinted glass at the back. Just look at it….beautiful! With the winter features, including AWD, this car is starting at just $44,850.
Even Jaguar is in on the fun,
because both the 2013 Jaguar XF and XJ models now offer AWD! Ask about the optional start/stop technology and emissions/fuel economy benefits. Jaguar claims to have focused a great deal of energy “to ensure that steering integrity and suspension refinement are unaffected” and that the cars “remain every bit as agile and communicative as their rear-wheel-drive counterparts.” Read more Hmmm….maybe test drive to see for yourself?

It just makes sense to go Volvo CPO
It just makes sense to go Volvo CPO
Volvo has added luxury and power to it’s widely known reputation of safety, and thanks their Certified Pre-Owned program, you don’t have to buy new to enjoy the benefits of owning a Volvo.
For the past five years, Volvo has received IntelliChoice.com’s “Best Certified Pre-Owned” award in the luxury category. What does this mean? According to an article written by autos.aol.com, IntelliChoice analyzed Volvo’s CPO performance against other top brands in their category such as Acura, Audi, BMW and Lexus. The CPO comparison was based on several criteria including the warranty and inspection processes. Again in 2012, Volvo was the top choice in the premium category, receiving an astonishing 100% inspection score and finishing among the top five for its warranty score.
Volvo’s higher standards
It takes a special Volvo to even be eligible for the CPO program. Every CPO vehicle is reconditioned to meet Volvo’s safety, performance and appearance standards according to Volvo’s comprehensive 130+ point inspection. Vehicles are examined and road tested at more than 130 different points and components are repaired or replaced as needed. The exterior and powertrain are checked, and each vehicle is road-tested. For even greater peace of mind, Volvo On Call offers roadside assistancefor the length of the CPO warranty.
Need even more reasons to buy Volvo CPO?

/100,000-mile CPO warranty. You won’t pay a dime for service visits covered by the CPO warranty. The Volvo factory-backed CPO warranty fully covers every part not specifically excluded; including the replacement or repair of thousands of components, systems and operations. - CARFAX Buyback Guarantee. Every Volvo CPO vehicle is covered by the CARFAX Buyback Guarantee. A CARFAX Vehicle History Report is run to ensure that the vehicle has a clean title and that its odometer reading is accurate. If a severe problem is reported by a DMV is later discovered, CARFAX will actually buy back the vehicle from you.
- Protection Plus+ Is an option to add to your Certified Pre-Owned Volvo. The Protection Plus+ Program covers your vehicle’s Factory Scheduled Maintenance (FSM) for 6 years or 100,000 miles, offering you a lower total cost of ownership and peace of mind.
