Because Peace of Mind Shouldn’t End at the Showroom
Buying a used car can sometimes feel like a bit of a lottery. But Suzuki New Zealand is looking to stack the odds firmly in the buyer’s favour with the launch of its new Certified Used Vehicle Programme.
Designed to give second-hand Suzuki buyers greater confidence and reassurance, the programme combines a comprehensive vehicle inspection, verified service history and an impressive warranty package that stretches to eight years.
Suzuki has long traded on its reputation for reliability, quality and value, and now the brand wants to extend that same reassurance to customers shopping for a pre-owned model.
Aaron Wales, Suzuki NZ’s National Automobile Sales Manager, says the initiative builds on the brand’s strong performance in the Canstar Blue customer satisfaction awards.
“We want customers to have the same peace of mind when buying a used vehicle. The programme gives buyers confidence that selected used Suzuki vehicles meet our high standards for quality and reliability.”
So, what makes a Suzuki Certified Used vehicle different from your average second-hand offering?
For starters, every qualifying vehicle must pass a thorough 50-point mechanical inspection, carried out by factory-trained Suzuki technicians through participating authorised dealerships. It must also have a verified Suzuki service history, giving prospective owners a clearer picture of the vehicle’s maintenance background.
But it’s the ownership package that really grabs attention.
Every Suzuki Certified Used vehicle comes with an eight-year/160,000km warranty (whichever comes first), along with eight years of 24/7 roadside assistance and unlimited-kilometre coverage. That’s a fairly substantial safety net for anyone considering a pre-owned vehicle.
The programme is available exclusively through the Suzuki dealer network, meaning customers can shop for eligible used models knowing they’ve been inspected to Suzuki’s standards and backed by the manufacturer.
What does Suzuki Certified Used include?
- A comprehensive 50-point mechanical inspection.
- Inspection carried out by factory-trained Suzuki technicians.
- Verified Suzuki service history.
- Eight-year/160,000km warranty package.
- Eight years of 24/7 roadside assistance with unlimited kilometres.
The usual age-old advice of checking a vehicle’s condition and history still applies, but Suzuki’s new programme adds another layer of reassurance to the used-car buying experience.
After all, buying a pre-owned car should be about finding the right vehicle at the right price – not wondering what might go wrong after you’ve driven it home.
Terms and conditions apply. Warranty coverage is subject to whichever occurs first: eight years or 160,000km. Roadside assistance is unlimited kilometres. See Suzuki New Zealand for full programme details.
