AUBURN HILLS, Mich., Nov. 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Chrysler
Group reported that its Five Star dealers posted an all-time
October sales record of 9,363 Certified Pre-owned Vehicle (CPOV)
units, a 15 percent increase from October 2005 sales. Year-to-date
sales reached a record 97,854 units, increasing 10 percent from
year-to-date sales last year. Each Chrysler Group brand posted
significant gains for the month. Chrysler brand sales rose 16
percent to 2,868 units, Jeep(R) brand sales surged 41 percent to
2,625 units and Dodge brand sales increased 2 percent to 3,870
units. Year-to-date sales were also up for each brand. "The overall
message and value of owning a Chrysler, Jeep or Dodge CPOV is
translating well to the consumer, and our sales reflect that," said
Peter Grady, Director - DaimlerChrysler Motors Remarketing. "Also,
the hard work by our Five Star dealers and the availability of
products like the Chrysler 300 and the Jeep Commander, helped
achieve the third consecutive month of year- over-year improvement
in the certified-used vehicle segment in October." 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 2003 through
2007 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 2,100 Chrysler
Group dealerships in the U.S. are certified Five Star dealers.
