Customers who have purchased the pre-owned cars can also avail of 24x7 road side assistance and service the cars at any of the company’s 160 service centres around the country.
Nissan Intelligent Choice is a global business model already in existence in Brazil and South Africa and the company is quite bullish on its prospects here. Satinder Singh Bajwa, Director – Sales, Network, CQ (Customer Quality) & POC (Pre-Owned Car), Nissan Motor India Pvt. Ltd. said, “Pre-owned car market in India is growing at an exponential rate. And, we see a huge potential in this emerging business.”
However, Nissan are late entrants to the used car market in India with manufacturers like Maruti Suzuki, Mahindra, Hyundai, Honda and Toyota already present. Thus Nissan will need to extend its reach to gather a sizeable piece of the used car pie.
