Certified is the Intelligent Choice

Buying a second-hand vehicle can be a bit of a lottery.

Sure, there are some obvious, and significant, advantages, such as a more affordable purchase price but with that comes unknowns… Questions that come with vehicle age and extra kilometres, especially when purchasing directly from the previous owner, a wholesaler or an exclusively used-car dealership.

Even if that used car choice comes with a fully-stamped service record, sparkles like new following an extensive detailing process and they claim it has been cared for with kid gloves, you can’t be entirely certain that is the whole truth.

There are ways, however, to gain a greater sense of clarity on a vehicle’s condition and mitigate risk by choosing a manufacturer certified pre-owned vehicle through an authorised dealership.

Nissan’s Intelligent Choice program offers peace of mind that a thorough inspection and rectification process has been conducted by a trained Nissan technician, as well as a host of key benefits that reinforce this as the intelligent purchase option.

For starters, only vehicles that are less than five-years old, have travelled fewer than 150,000km and have a service history that adheres to (or is better than) the prescribed maintenance schedule can qualify for the Nissan Intelligent Choice program.

Secondly, each vehicle undergoes a comprehensive 140-point safety check by specialist Nissan technicians. And, in the event that any parts need to be replaced to ensure the vehicle’s roadworthiness, Nissan Genuine Parts are used exclusively. Parts that are designed, engineered and tested by Nissan ensure the vehicle maintains its integrity in terms of safety, performance and durability.

Nissan Intelligent Choice buyers also receive a minimum of two years free roadside assistance (or until the end of the vehicle’s official warranty period, whichever is longer) and a special finance offer. Plus, If you’re not completely satisfied with the vehicle immediately after you’ve purchased it, you can exchange it for another Nissan Intelligent Choice vehicle within seven days if you’ve travelled less than 1000km.

But purchase is just the beginning, on return for servicing ask about a free loan car and you can also have your vehicle expertly cleaned and detailed (with a minimum of one month’s notice).

In the end, buying certified pre-owned from an authorised Nissan dealership is, quite simply, the Intelligent Choice.
