If you haven’t been fortunate enough to get a taste of Satellite radio, trust us when we say it’s a great thing. No matter what you like to listen to, there’s a station out there that makes your daily commute or long-distance haul that much more enjoyable. Car manufacturers have been throwing in trial subscriptions to satellite radio like SIRIUS and XM for years now, but it’s a perk that runs out once the vehicle changes hands. Or at least it used to be that way.
Volkswagen has partnered with SIRIUS to offer customers who buy certified pre-owned, or CPO cars, the same 3-month trial. While that’s not likely to be enough of an incentive to get a buyer to change from one brand to another, it is a neat offering that used-car buyers deserve. If the used car or truck you’re buying is satellite radio capable, why not take full advantage of the equipment?
While Volkswagen is currently the only carmaker to offer the free trial, it wouldn’t surprise us to see other manufacturers jump on the CPO-satellite band wagon. Before long, you may be able to score a free trial of your favorite music from just about any company out there, giving you one more reason to skip over a new car all together. Not too bad.
