Honda has launched an enhanced sales portal to include non-certified used vehicles on HondaCertified.com as the latest step in the brand's effort to simplify the shopping and vehicle purchasing process for first-time buyers. This initiative makes #honda the first mass-market brand to offer non-certified pre-owned vehicles for sale on its own website. Rising new-vehicle transaction prices make used and Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) vehicles an increasingly important entry point to vehicle ownership for both young and first-time buyers. Honda's comprehensive approach provides customers more online shopping options when looking for pre-owned #honda vehicles.
Honda's latest initiative builds on the automaker's award-winning Certified Pre-Owned vehicle program, HondaTrue Certified, already an important gateway to attract new customers to the #honda brand. HondaCertified.com now enables customers to search dealer inventories of #honda used vehicles, including up to 10 previous model years, in addition to the existing CPO vehicle inventory of late model cars. As with CPO vehicles, used #honda vehicles offered on HondaCertified.com will have recalls addressed by #honda dealer service experts prior to sale.
"With the continued rise in new-vehicle prices, the first vehicle purchase for many buyers will come from the used-car market, and our upgraded website makes this process more simple and enjoyable," said Dan Rodriguez, manager of #auto remarketing at American #honda. "As a leading brand among first-time and younger buyers, expanding our branded website to include used vehicles up to ten years old offers customers more high value options with quality #honda products and their local #honda dealer standing behind their purchase."
Honda will add features to this used-vehicle initiative in the months ahead, aligned with the brand's Shop Simple by #honda online buying tool, enabling customers to complete most of the purchase process of #honda pre-owned vehicles in a digital fashion.
More information on Honda's used-vehicle offerings and existing #honda Certified Pre-Owned vehicles can be found at HondaCertified.com.
