KUALA LUMPUR: Volvo just made it easier to search for the brand's officially certified used cars.
Patrons can now use Volvo's Used Car Locator website to browse through the available models on a consolidated list of cars (either Volvo Selekt or Volvo quality used cars) that are available at all Volvo dealerships across Malaysia.
The website also provides full details of the cars and its closest location to the patron.
"We hope that more Malaysians can experience first-hand our pioneering safety features and innovation that has been engineered into each of these cars, making them some of the safest options in the market," said Volvo Car Malaysia (VCM) managing director Nalin Jain.
VCM reported that Volvo Selekt cars have contributed 15 per cent to the total of the brand's used car sales in 2020 for the Malaysian market, signalling a warm reception and increased demand for pre-owned Volvos.
"The positive response we have received from Volvo Selekt has motivated us to give customers more choices on how they can purchase a used Volvo car while maintaining all the criteria of excellence, reliability and performance that is expected of a premium car.
"And so, in line with our move to be technologically savvy, we now introduce the Volvo Used Car Locator, to elevate customers' experience in acquiring and owning a Volvo car, all from the convenience of their smartphones or laptops. This initiative comes at an apt time as we continue to be mindful of our safety and health, and practise physical distancing wherever possible."
Volvo said its Selekt (the brand's certified used car programme launched in June last year) cars are guaranteed to be under five years old with less than 100,000km in mileage, and have received a 125-point inspection, software upgrade and genuine part replacements to ensure that they are road-ready.
Additionally, each car from Volvo Selekt comes with a minimum of 12 months warranty, a complimentary 1-year maintenance service package (VSA 1) and 12 months of Roadside Assistance.
The brand's quality used cars range are also said to be maintained up to Volvo's standards, using the same criterion for all pre-owned vehicles with each Volvo dealership having conducted a series of checks and updates.
Volvo Selekt models are only available at Sisma Auto in Glenmarie, Selangor and iRoll Auto in Juru, Penang, whereas all Volvo quality used cars are made available at 12 other dealerships across the nation.
