PR Newswire (US)
AUBURN HILLS, Mich., Aug. 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Chrysler
Group reported that its Five Star dealers sold 8,707 Certified
Pre-Owned Vehicle (CPOV) units in July, a 2 percent decline from
July 2005 sales. Year-to-date sales totaled 69,367 units, advancing
10 percent from year-to-date sales last year. The Chrysler brand
continues its positive sales stride in July with an 8 percent
increase to 2,968 units and Jeep(R) brand sales rose 13 percent to
2,109 units. Meanwhile, Dodge brand sales decreased 15 percent to
3,630 units, compared to sales a year ago. "Due to tough economic
conditions, Chrysler Group CPOV sales declined in line with the
overall certified vehicle industry in July," said Peter Grady,
Director - DaimlerChrysler Motors Remarketing. "However the
reliability provided by Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge CPOV products has
allowed the Chrysler Group to gain market share in the certified
segment year-over-year, and we look for that trend to continue."
Chrysler Group offers one of the most comprehensive Certified
Pre-Owned Vehicle programs in the industry. For a vehicle to be
certified under the Chrysler Group's used vehicle program, it must
be a 2001 through 2006 model pre-owned vehicle with less than
65,000 miles and pass a stringent 125 point inspection. Chrysler
Group's CPO vehicles are backed by an 8-year/80,000-mile powertrain
limited warranty, a 3-month or 3,000-mile Maximum Care(TM)
warranty, 24-hour, 365-day full roadside assistance and a $35 per
day rental car allowance, in addition to a CARFAX Vehicle History
Report(TM) and Buyback Guarantee. Marketed as "Brand Spankin'
Used(TM)," Chrysler Group's CPO vehicles are sold only through
Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge dealerships which have earned the
automaker's Five Star Certification. Five Star Certification is a
comprehensive validation of the dealership's facilities,
operational processes, salesperson and technician training
accreditation as well as customer satisfaction survey ratings.
Approximately 2,400 Chrysler Group dealerships in the U.S. are
certified Five Star dealers. DATASOURCE: Chrysler Group CONTACT:
