It is not new that Toyota It is one of the companies with the greatest reputation in the national market. Not in vain is it the one that sells the most 0 km and, in general, for almost all of its models there is no immediate delivery due to high demand. So it was that the Japanese brand saw the opportunity to also offer used vehicles but with the official guarantee of the company.
Now Toyota Argentina has reached 10,000 units sold through its Certified Used program, an initiative that was born in 2018 and was quickly well received by users.
Toyota Certified Pre-Owned are vehicles that have some special features. To enter that group, They cannot have traveled more than 200,000 kilometers and must be a maximum of 8 years old.
The certification provided by the company is supported by an inspection process, based on 150 technical review points, which includes mechanical, electrical, safety and aesthetic aspects. This inspection is carried out by technicians trained and certified by Toyota Argentina.
“This is one more step in our transformation towards a mobility company, where we are no longer only dedicated to the production and marketing of 0 km vehicles, but we also offer diverse solutions for diverse customers,” said Ignacio Limpenny, Commercial Director of Toyota Argentina. .
“With Certified Used, we saw an opportunity to offer our customers a different service, both for those who already own a Toyota and for those looking for their first car. And the numbers support that idea: today, 50% of the used ones sold by our network are certified and 3 out of every 10 people who buy a zero kilometer leave their used one as part of the payment,” added the executive.
Where to get a certified used
Through a website, it is possible to access the supply of used Toyota vehicles offered by dealers throughout the country. Added to this are different financing alternatives.
There you can find a wide variety of models, from an Etios to a SW4, including Hilux, RAV4 and Corolla. The search engine is simple: you can filter by model, version, year, kilometers, price range, province and the amount to be financed.
Owners of a Toyota model can also choose to sell their vehicle through this platform.Among the benefits of a certified used Toyota, the official brand warranty of one year or 20,000 kilometers, whichever comes first (in addition to the factory warranty if applicable). And 24-hour support service free of charge for one year. In addition, purchasing a vehicle from this program is a new way to enter the brand’s after-sales service network and all its benefits, which are highly valued.
It also allows users to access Club Toyota, the exclusive membership for the brand’s customers that offers experiences such as 4×4 tours, driving clinics, visits to the company’s plant, motorsports events, exclusive attention on the brand’s network , participation in raffles and contests, among others.
The platform also allows customers to sell a brand model. The interested party must enter www.toyotausados.com.ar, and upload their personal data and that of the vehicle. An appointment will be scheduled at a dealership to carry out the inspection. If it passes, they are certified and the dealer will be in charge of publishing and selling it.
It is also possible to cross with a savings plan and pick up a certified used car instead of a 0 km.The interesting thing about this alternative for those who put the vehicle up for sale is that they do not have to leave it at the dealership but can continue using it until the day the sale is finalized.
