PR Newswire (US)
AUBURN HILLS, Mich., May 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The Chrysler
Group marked the sale of its 500,000th Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle
(CPOV) at Fletcher Chrysler Products in Franklin, Ind. To celebrate
the milestone, the company presented the lucky customers, John and
Debora Seering, with an appreciation check equal to the amount paid
for their recently-purchased 2006 Dodge Durango. "We have purchased
several vehicles from Fletcher Chrysler Products over the years and
have always received very good service at the dealership," said
John Seering. "We decided to buy Dodge certified because we knew we
could find a dependable vehicle with a warranty and low mileage at
a great value." Furthermore, upon hearing news of the appreciation
check, the Seering's turned around and purchased yet another
Chrysler Group vehicle, a 2007 Dodge Ram Mega Cab pickup truck. "We
are very happy to have reached this 500,000 certified vehicles sold
milestone, which demonstrates the value that Chrysler, Jeep(R) and
Dodge CPO vehicles continue to have in the marketplace," said D.P.
(Bud) Place, Senior Manager - Used Vehicle Sales & Marketing,
DaimlerChrysler Motors Remarketing. "We could not have reached this
goal without the outstanding efforts of our Five Star(R) dealers
like Fletcher Chrysler Products, and the loyalty of our customers."
The Chrysler Group launched its Brand Spankin' Used(R) CPOV brand
in the U.S. in 2002 and was the last of the top-five volume
automotive companies to enter the certified pre-owned vehicle
segment. Yet the time taken to conduct research and analysis into
the program has allowed the Chrysler Group to secure its position
as the fastest growing certified used-vehicle brand since then.
