Maruti Dealers sell used cars in Agra

VISHAL SHARMA
Agra, 14 Apr. Maruti Suzuki, India’s leading small car manufacturer begin a two-day “Used Car Fair” under the aegis of its used car dealership brand “True Value”, in Agra on Thursday.
This fair being held by the company in collaboration with its dealers in Agra – Madhusudan Motors Pvt. Ltd. & Kavisha Motors Agra Pvt. Ltd., is being touted as one of the largest “used car fairs” held in Agra with almost all Maruti car models being offered on sale in the fair.
Talking to Business Standard, Ajay Sharma, Managing Director, Kavisha Motors Agra Pvt. Ltd. said that despite being the auspicious time of “Navratras”, the car sales have been painfully slow this month with less than 20 cars sold on each of the two dealerships, while in the previous years, the dealerships sold more than 200 cars in the month of April. By holding this True Value fare, the company hoped to boost up car sales in the town.
Rama Shanker Agarwal, MD, Madhusudan Motors Pvt. Ltd. said that may it be new cars or used ones, Maruti’s “Alto” model is sweeping the market while the “Zen” model has begun to fail in attracting the people.
Vijayant Lucien, Asst. General Manager (True Value), Kavisha Motors Agra Pvt. Ltd. said that besides the new cars, there is also a high demand for Maruti certified true value cars among the middle-class families and the company is seeking to tap this segment of the market by organizing this fair.
He said that since the used cars sold under Maruti’s “True Value” certification are refurbished by the company’s engineers using genuine spares, the credibility of used cars bought from Maruti is far greater among the users, than the unorganized sector and already, taking inspiration from Maruti, some other car companies have also launched a similar concept.
Wahid Raza, the resident engineer of Maruti said that Maruti has appointed 155 true value dealerships and at every dealership, the company ensures that before being certified by Maruti, each used car goes through a 120 point Pre-delivery inspection. He said that the company ensures that the car it offers on True Value is either a first or second hand vehicle that has been purchased in the same state where it is being sold.
