Sime Darby Auto ConneXion Debuts Ford Assured CPO Program

All Ford Assured certified pre-owned purchases come with a 12-month minimum powertrain warranty. 

Following the larger general trend of automakers themselves getting in on the used car game over here, Sime Darby Auto ConneXion (SDAC) has recently launched its Ford Assured certified pre-owned program to offer customers a hassle and worry free way to purchase second-hand Blue Oval products. 

Touted as a comprehensive assurance and certification effort, at the heart of the Ford Assured programme is a meticulous inspection and certification process that ensures all of its offerings meet stringent quality and performance standards. This programme is tailored to enhance the overall pre-owned car buying experience for customers, reinforcing the Blue Oval marque’s commitment to quality, reliability, and customer satisfaction.

The programme entails stringent vehicle standards, which requires for pre-owned Ford vehicles to be below five years old or have mileage below 140,000 km for Ranger and 80,000 km for Everest, with a comprehensive full-service history in order to qualify for this program. Moreover, a meticulous 96-Point Inspection will be conducted by certified technicians to ensure that every facet of the vehicle, from mechanical performance to cosmetic appearance, meets the highest standards. Furthermore, specific Refurbishment Standards ensure that the refurbishment process is to be executed to the highest level of excellence, in order to promote consistency and quality across all its offerings.

The Ford Assured Programme is currently offered a minimum 12-month warranty covering the engine and gearbox, subject to terms and conditions. These conditions include a requirement that the vehicle’s mileage must be below 140,000 km for Ranger, 80,000 km for Everest and below 5 years old. Additionally, the warranty stipulates that vehicle parts must not be replaced or modified by third parties and must be serviced, maintained, and repaired by authorised Ford dealers at recommended service intervals. 

This exclusive offering from SDAC is currently available at Ford Ara Damansara showroom, inviting discerning individuals to delve into the world of pre-owned excellence, with a particular focus on models from the Ranger and Everest lineups.
