Ford Assured Programme Aims To Elevate The Pre-Owned Experience
Sime Darby Auto ConneXion (SDAC) has unveiled its latest initiative, the Ford Assured programme, offering certified pre-owned Ford vehicles in Malaysia. Designed to offer customers peace of mind and confidence, Ford Assured is a comprehensive assurance and certification process for pre-owned Ford models.
At the core of Ford Assured is a meticulous inspection and certification process to ensure that every pre-owned Ford vehicle meets stringent quality and performance standards. This programme is specifically made to enhance the overall pre-owned car buying experience for customers, with a commitment to quality, reliability, and customer satisfaction.
Vehicles eligible for the programme must be under 5 years old or have mileage below 140,000 km for the Ford Ranger and 80,000 km for the Everest, and must have a complete service history.
Each pre-owned vehicle will undergo a comprehensive 96-Point Inspection conducted by certified technicians, covering all aspects of mechanical performance and cosmetic appearance. The programme also maintains specific Refurbishment Standards to guarantee consistency and quality in all certified pre-owned Ford vehicles. 
The Ford Assured programme offers a minimum 12-month warranty covering the engine and gearbox (subject to terms and conditions). Conditions include mileage limitations (must be below 140,000 km for Ranger, 80,000 km for Everest; and below 5 years old), ensuring that customers buying certified pre-owned Fords receive the highest level of protection for their investment. Furthermore, the warranty requires that vehicle parts must not be replaced or modified by 3rd parties and must be serviced, maintained, and repaired only by authorised Ford dealers at recommended service intervals.
“Recognising the growing demand in Malaysia’s pre-owned vehicle segment, we remain steadfast in our dedication to meeting consumer needs. Reflecting our trusted reputation across the automotive sector, the Ford Assured Programme mirrors Sime Darby Motors’ relentless pursuit of setting industry benchmarks and enhancing the overall automotive experience,” said Mr. Jeffrey Gan, Managing Director, Sime Darby Motors, Southeast Asia.
Mr. Turse Zuhair, Managing Director, SDAC, highlighted, “With the introduction of the Ford Assured Programme, we are pleased to elevate the pre-owned vehicle landscape. Demonstrating our commitment to delivering unparalleled quality and customer satisfaction, the programme is testament to our rigorous standards in customer assurance, providing a trusted solution for those in search of a reliable and high quality pre-owned Ford vehicle.” 
The Ford Assured programme vehicles are currently available at the Ford Ara Damansara showroom, offering mainly a selection of pre-owned Ranger and Everest models. Visit https://www.sdacford.com.my/shop/ford-assured for more details on Ford certified pre-owned vehicles.
