FCA retailers given used sales boost
FCA UK has announced an overhaul of its approved used vehicle offerings, with the OEM choosing to group its Fiat, Abarth and Fiat Professional schemes under the new ‘Found Approved and Used’ brand, while Jeep and Alfa Romeo will be covered by the ‘Selected For You’ programme.
Under the new schemes retailers will offers prospective buyers an enhanced package of benefits, including an improved stock location service, 12-month branded warranty and breakdown cover plus the promise of competitive finance deals. Additionally, FCA UK has introduced a dedicated used vehicle area team to assist and support retailers in the field. FCA UK claims this will provide participating retailers with access to hands on practical advice and guidance on how to develop and grow their used car business.
Commenting on the changes, Francis Bleasdale, Fleet and Remarketing Director, said: “I’m delighted with these new used vehicle programmes. FCA UK is renowned for its excellent range of new cars and vans, and now we are able to offer consumers a great choice of used vehicles through a high quality approved programme, backed up with comprehensive warranties and the latest finance offers. It’s an excellent proposition for our customers.”
