Jeep Compass SUV sold under the pre-owned business will go through a 125 point inspection check.

Jeep Compass was launched in the Indian market three years ago. Recently, the Indian arm of the American automaker announced its foray into the pre-owned car business with ‘SelectedForYou’. Through this initiative, FCA India will buy, exchange, and sell pre-owned Jeep vehicles especially the Compass SUV. The customers can trade-in vehicles from any brands for a new or certified pre-owned Jeep Compass. The company had already started a pilot program in Delhi, Mumbai, and Hyderabad last year. At present, it is operational at the company’s 42 dealerships across the country. The pre-owned sales business is likely to be expanded to 65 more outlets by August this year.  

Under the initiative, the pre-owned vehicles will be certified only after a 125-point inspection check. This will be done through verification of the past ownership, service records, and extensive pre-sale on-road testing. The SUV sold under the used car business will be offered with a warranty of 36 months/60,000 kms along with 24/7 roadside assistance. The company has now started with the Compass and it will soon be adding other vehicles from its range subsequently.
