KUALA LUMPUR, March 5, 2024 – As part of its commitment to continuously enhance the customer experience, Sime Darby Auto ConneXion (SDAC) announced the launch of “Ford Assured”, a programme that offers certified pre-owned Ford models. The Ford Assured programme is a comprehensive assurance and certification effort aimed at instilling confidence and peace of mind among customers considering the purchase of pre-owned Ford vehicles.
At the heart of the Ford Assured programme is a meticulous inspection and certification process that ensures pre-owned Ford cars meet stringent quality and performance standards. This programme is tailored to enhance the overall pre-owned car buying experience for customers, reinforcing Ford's commitment to quality, reliability, and customer satisfaction.
The programme entails stringent vehicle standards, requiring pre-owned Ford vehicles to be below five years old or have mileage below 140,000km for Ranger and 80,000km for Everest, with a comprehensive full-service history. Moreover, a meticulous 96-Point Inspection conducted by certified technicians ensures that every facet of the pre-owned Ford vehicle, from mechanical performance to cosmetic appearance, meets the highest standards. Furthermore, specific Refurbishment Standards ensure that the refurbishment process is executed to the highest level of excellence, promoting consistency and quality across all certified pre-owned Ford vehicles.
Mr. Jeffrey Gan, Managing Director, Sime Darby Motors, Southeast Asia, said, “Recognising the growing demand in Malaysia’s pre-owned vehicle segment, we remain steadfast in our dedication to meeting consumer needs. Reflecting our trusted reputation across the automotive sector, the Ford Assured Programme mirrors Sime Darby Motors’ relentless pursuit of setting industry benchmarks and enhancing the overall automotive experience.”
Mr. Turse Zuhair, Managing Director, SDAC, added, “With the introduction of the Ford Assured Programme, we are pleased to elevate the pre-owned vehicle landscape. Demonstrating our commitment to delivering unparalleled quality and customer satisfaction, the programme is testament to our rigorous standards in customer assurance, providing a trusted solution for those in search of a reliable and high-quality pre-owned Ford vehicle.”
The Ford Assured Programme offers a minimum 12-month warranty covering the engine and gearbox, subject to terms and conditions. These conditions include a requirement that the vehicle's mileage must be below 140,000km for Ranger, 80,000km for Everest and below 5 years old. Additionally, the warranty stipulates that vehicle parts must not be replaced or modified by third parties and must be serviced, maintained, and repaired by authorised Ford dealers at recommended service intervals.
This exclusive offering from SDAC is currently available at Ford Ara Damansara showroom, inviting discerning individuals to delve into the world of pre-owned excellence, with a particular focus on models from the Ranger and Everest lineups.
