Luxury AND Value; found at Jenkins Imports

The luxury segment in the U.S. market in 2012 is expected to be the fastest growing segment, with more than 14 percent growth, according to Polk. “More affluent buyers are returning to the market for new vehicles, after three years of spending reductions,” said Anthony Pratt, director of forecasting for the Americas at Polk. “The luxury segment also offers a wide variety of product options for consumers across all segments, ranging from small cars to SUVs.”

The definition as luxury has always been subjective.  Most agree that “luxury is in the eye of the beholder.” Luxury choices are often highly emotional and most would admit that a luxury purchase seeks self-reward to satisfy a feeling of “I deserve.” But according to a new presentation based on Ipsos Mendelsohn survey data from September and October 2011, 65% of all affluents agree that “the definition of luxury today is not the same as it was five years ago.” 89% of the affluent say that when they decide to purchase a luxury item, they will go out of their way to find the best price possible because value plays a a larger role in today’s conception of luxury.

If you’re searching for both luxury AND value in your next new or leased vehicle, make your way to Jenkins Imports of Milwaukee.  Over the years, Jaguar has been symbolic of a luxury vehicle with innovative design and legendary performance. Thankfully, Jaguar continues to hold that reputation with slick styles such as:

Safe & Secure Coverage Plan
-Volvo is excited to provide it’s “Best-in-Class Coverage Plan” called Safe & Secure. Safe & secure gives you five years of ownership at next to no cost on all 2012 and 2011 models. The plan offers tremendous value by saving you thousands of dollars on your vehicle repairs, and provides you peace of mind during your ownership experience.

The Safe + Secure Coverage Plan offers you exceptional value and financial security that goes beyond crumple zones and airbags – it’s the security that only Volvo offers.

It’s “Safe” because it’s from Volvo, and it’s “Secure” because you’ll be driving your Volvo virtually worry-free for five years. The Safe + Secure Coverage Plan from Volvo. Because you should feel as secure purchasing a new Volvo, as you do driving one. The Volvo Safe and Secure Coverage Plan is a U.S. specific program and is valid only when repairs are performed at an authorized U.S. Volvo Retailer.

City Safety Feature
-City Safety is a feature that can help drivers avoid rear-end, low speed accidents that often happen in urban environments or slow moving traffic. Statistics reveal that 75 per cent of all reported collisions occur at low speeds of up to 30 km/h (18.7 mph). The Volvo system, called ‘City Safety’, is active up to 30 km/h and keeps a watchful eye on traffic up to six metres in front of the car with the help of an optical radar system integrated into the upper part of the windscreen. If a car in front suddenly brakes or is stationary, the system will automatically pre-charge the brakes to help the driver avoid an accident by slowing down in time, or steering away from a potential collision. However, if a collision is imminent, the system will activate the car’s brakes automatically.

For more information about Volvo cars and their safety features visit Jenkins Imports. They’re located just off of I-43 at Capitol Drive in Milwaukee.

Certified Pre-Owned at Jenkins Imports

You may have noticed that ”Certified Pre-Owned” or “CPO” has replaced the term ”used.”   CPO originated due to the high rate of luxury off-lease vehicles populating the market in the recent past. Because these vehicles are in great shape and have lower mileage, they’re refurbished.  Often times there are special financing plans and roadside assistance offered as well.  Who buys pre-owned?  Someone who wants a less-costly alternative to a new car.  Who buys certified pre-owned?  Someone who wants a low mileage, less-costly alternative knowing the vehicle has been thoroughly inspected and includes an extended warranty.  Most CPO vehicles are less than five or six years old and in great shape, however they are not perfect.  The added inspection and warranty provide a sense of security that you wouldn’t receive buying a “used” vehicle.

Not all CPO vehicles are created equal.  Jaguar CPO vehicles must be less than five years old and have fewer than 60,000 miles.  Compare to Mercedes-Benz CPO program of less than six years and fewer than 75,000 miles.  Jaguar CPO vehicles warranty is 72months/100,000 miles while Mercedes-Benz is 12months/ 1oo,000 miles.  (Which ever comes first.)  BMW’s CPO program only covers 12months/ 50,000 miles and requires a warranty deductible of $50.

What to look and “look out for” in a CPO program:

• Inspect the Points of Inspection
• Get the Warranty the Vehicle Warrants
• Look for Special incentives and finance deals

Just announced 0.9% APR Financing now available on Jaguar Select Certified 2007 & Newer Pre-Owned vehicles at Jenkins Jaguar!  To see the full line of Jaguar Select Certified Pre-Owned vehicles visit Jenkins Imports at 4020 N.
