Chery South Africa has launched its certified pre-owned vehicle programme called Cherished.
The Chinese manufacturer has steadily been making inroads into the local market and currently find themselves in seventh place overall on the monthly sales charts.
The popular Chery Tiggo 4 Pro compact SUV with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine or a 1.5 turbocharged engine was in eighth place and the Chery Tiggo 7 Pro SUV with its 1.5-liter turbocharged engine in 27th place for the month of April.
As South African buyers continue to take strain in a struggling economy they are buying down but still looking for value for money.
With the Chinese invasion, many have taken to them as they provide a host of technological and other features not always offered by the competition at a reasonable price.
Transferable
The most significant change to their warranty is that the remainder of the 10-year/1 million-kilometre engine warranty is now transferable to the next owner.
Previously, the caveat to the warranty was that it only applied to the first owner.
Importantly, this programme is only available from official Cherished dealers within the Chery dealer network.
Cherished pre-owned vehicles receive the balance of the service plan, with a minimum of one-year/15,000 km remaining on the service plan. Furthermore, to qualify as a Cherished vehicle, all Chery models need to have been maintained within the Chery dealer network.
Our certified pre-owned programme allows us to offer customers quality vehicles backed by Chery’s commitment to excellence,” said Jay Jay Botes, general manager for Chery South Africa.
“Every vehicle undergoes a comprehensive inspection, giving buyers confidence in their choice.”
