Your First Car Made Easy with Bob Boast Financing Programs

At Bob Boast Volkswagen, we're here to make that transition smoother with tailored financing solutions designed for college graduates, first-time buyers, and customers with limited credit history.
Special College Grad Program—A Reward for Your Hard Work
Graduating is a major achievement — and now it pays off. Our College Graduate Program provides qualifying recent graduates with a $500 bonus toward the purchase or lease of a new Volkswagen vehicle. This incentive helps reduce the stress of upfront costs as you embark on new beginnings.
Here's how it works:
- You must have graduated from a U.S. or Canadian accredited college or university within the last 24 months or be graduating within the next 6 months.
- A copy of your diploma or official transcript is required, along with proof of employment or a written offer from a future employer.
- The bonus applies to select new Volkswagen models and reduces your purchase or lease cost — making your first car more affordable than ever.
This program is perfect for young professionals transitioning from campus life to the real world and seeking a reliable, stylish vehicle like the Volkswagen Jetta, Tiguan, or Atlas.
