There’s been some confusion about the Certified by Volvo Warranty Upgrade Plans, so I wanted to clarify a few things to help you navigate your options.
Here’s what you need to know:
- Traditional VIP Extended Warranty Service Contracts:
These are flexible plans that can be purchased at any time for any vehicle, whether it’s new, used, or certified. There are no restrictions—coverage can be added whenever you’re ready. The key details are:- Terms: The years of coverage begin from the date of warranty purchase.
- Mileage: The mileage of the contract is added to your current odometer reading.
- Best Time to Buy: Purchasing early is recommended, as it often provides better options at a lower price, even if you have overlap coverage.
- Purchase Online: You can purchase the traditional VIP Extended Warranty here: Steingold Volvo Cars
- Certified by Volvo Warranty Upgrade Plans:
These plans are specifically for Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) Volvo vehicles and provide the same Platinum-level coverage as the traditional VIP Warranty plans, but with some key differences:- Terms: The years of coverage begin from the original in-service date of the vehicle.
- Mileage: The plan covers total miles rather than adding miles to the current odometer.
- Unlimited Mileage Option: The biggest distinction—CPO Upgrade plans are the only ones that offer an Unlimited Mileage coverage option, which is a huge benefit for high-mileage drivers.

Another very important change has been made, which lots of people are confused about: Certified by Volvo upgrade plans can now only be purchased from the dealership where you originally bought your CPO vehicle. If your dealership doesn’t offer the genuine Volvo plan, we can request an exception to provide it at our discounted prices. But if your local dealer does offer the plan, regardless of the price, you will need to purchase the Certified upgrade from them.
If the pricing at your local dealership feels too high or you’re uncomfortable with the offer, we recommend considering the Traditional VIP Warranty as an alternative, since it’s also eligible for Certified vehicles. You can purchase the traditional VIP Extended Warranty here: Steingold Volvo Cars
Hopefully, this clears up any confusion. Thanks so much for all your support!
