Hyundai recently launched its first certified pre-owned programme developed specifically for the region.
The marque believes it will contribute to improving the all-important residual value of the Korean cars locally which in turn will benefit buyers of new Hyundai models, who can be confident of obtaining strong resale prices for their cars.
The new certified pre-owned programme offers the type of peace of mind that can often be missing when purchasing a used car. Pre-owned Hyundai models will come with a 1 year/20,000km additional warranty over and above the original manufacturer’s warranty, while each vehicle also undergoes a full history check that guarantees that the stated mileage is correct.
For further reassurance, every car is subjected to a detailed 100-point technical check prior to reaching the showroom. The check list has been developed specifically for the Middle East, taking into account the region’s demanding environment, with particular focus on aspects such as the air conditioning system and braking efficiency. In the event of a serious defect, customers have the right to return and change the car within 15 days.
All cars offered under the programme will be less than four years old, with customers entitled to a free test drive of the vehicle they are interested in. They can also opt for an additional service contract that includes road assistance services complimentary oil changes and discounts on parts repairs.
