Managing Director of SSA, Teresita van Gaalen, says growth in Subaru sales – both in new and pre-owned vehicles – calls for a rationalisation of the approach to the pre-owned market. “We want to ensure the highest quality for second and third generation owners in the vehicle's level of integrity as well as providing a value-for-money proposition.
“Subaru has been at the highest levels of customer service with a product that exceeds all expectations in terms of excellent engineering, safety, performance and drivability on all roads and in all weather. The Subaru Six Star Pre-Owned stamp will now provide a further sense of comfort to owners down the line, particularly as our vehicles are performing exceptionally well far beyond 150,000kms.”
The programme checks all aspects of the pre-owned vehicle, starting with the verification of recorded kilometres and a full pre-sale reconditioning, all according to stringent standards. The vehicle's integrity is verified and fully disclosed to the buyer. The Six Star pre-owned Subaru also checks for modifications and full service history.
It comes with an inclusive 24 month, unlimited mileage warranty and an optional maintenance plan extension of two years or 40,000kms, as well as two years of Subaru roadside assistance.
The Subaruships with the Six Star Programme already up and running are Midrand, Centurion, Bruma, Nelspruit, and Pietermaritzburg. All participating dealers are regularly checked and monitored to ensure that they are upholding these principles and more will come online as the stringent standards are met.
