Mercedes-Benz Malaysia introduces Proven Exclusivity – a Certified Pre-Owned programme

Advertisement

Mercedes-Benz Proven ExclusivityThe Mercedes-Benz E 280 Avantgarde AMG Sports Package that you see on the left is available for sale with just over 20,000km on the odometer for RM360,000. It’s also got an official Mercedes-Benz Malaysia minimum warranty of 12 months or up to 20,000km.

The car I’ve just described above is just one of the few Certified Pre-Owned cars that you can procure through its Proven Exclusivity Programme, a pre-owned car program that Mercedes-Benz Malaysia has just launched yesterday. The cars have gone through a 215 point check by Mercedes-Benz trained personnel. All the cars are not more than 5 years old and have less than 100,000km mileage, so you don’t have to worry about reconditioned dealers tampering with the odometer. The cars are also limited to those that were originally brought in by Mercedes-Benz Malaysia and not via grey importers.

The Proven Exclusivity programme will be offered in phases at selected Mercedes-Benz dealerships nationwide starting with five dealerships – Cycle & Carriage Bintang Petaling Jaya, Cycle & Carriage Bintang Mutiara, Hap Seng Star Kinrara, NZ Wheels Klang and Lowe Motor Juru. Phase II, scheduled for early 2010, will see four more dealerships come on board. They hope to sell between 200 and 300 pre-owned cars in 2010 under the programme.

    Thumbs Up for those that supported and bought the official units sold by MBM. Surely better retention of value and stops the second hand car dealers from dictating the market value.

    Sounds like a blatant copy of the BMW Premium Selection programme to me. In fact, there is no such thing as Proven Exclusivity anywhere else in the world, if i'm not mistaken.

    BMW's already done it. They're playing catchup, but at least now there's an alternative to Naza

    yeap. they're following what bmw has done, which is a pretty smart move to counter against the parallel importers and help those looking for good 2nd hand units.
